Smart Transportation Market Dynamics
Driver: Adoption of IoT and automation technologies to enhance technological optimization
The evolution of IoT has enabled the exchange of information between different electronic devices without the need for direct human interaction. The convergence of IoT platforms with smart transportation solutions is expected to help drive the market's growth. Smart devices integrated for better connectivity, automation, and control are expected to become more self-governing and intelligent in terms of sharing data with transportation management control centers and the cloud. The increasing demand for connected technologies, applications, and smart devices is expected to grow the smart transportation market.
Restraint: Stringent transportation regulatory policies
Smart transportation involves connecting multiple vehicles and infrastructure wirelessly with the help of sensors and applications. However, app-based mobility services have not been defined under legal entities across several countries regulating their operations. Also, taxi owners in several countries have to obtain separate licenses and registration papers to carry out their operations, posing challenges for app-based mobility service providers as they do not own these vehicles. These stringent transportation regulatory policies make it difficult for vehicle operators to provide on-demand mobility services to users, thus affecting the growth of the services segment negatively.
Opportunity: Penetration of analytics in smart transportation
The use of analytics in smart transportation would fasten the decision-making capacity and control of smart transport systems. It decreases the latency in decision-making for connected devices and provides great scalability. The analytical computation process is done at the edge of devices without waiting for the data to be received at the centralized storage system and then processed analytically. Smart transportation is a dense ecosystem of all the modes of transportation, and edge analytics would empower Closed-Circuit Televisions (CCTVs) and surveillance cameras with instant analysis capabilities.
Challenge: High initial cost of deployment
The initial cost involved in deploying smart transportation solutions is high. It requires huge initial investments to set up field-level devices, replace aging infrastructure, arrange for transmission networks between end users, and manage new and existing systems within the premises. High operational and maintenance costs post system deployment are also a huge concern for railway authorities. Moreover, limited budgets for railways pose a restraining factor in the deployment of advanced railway technologies and solutions by governments as well as private players.
Smart Transportation Market Ecosystem
Prominent companies in this market include well-established, financially stable provider of smart transportation solutions and services. These companies have been operating in the market for several years and possess a diversified product portfolio, state-of-the-art technologies, and strong global sales and marketing networks.
