**Introduction to the Vehicle Internet of Things (IoT)**
The Vehicle Internet of Things, or "Car Networking," refers to the use of wireless radio frequency and other identification technologies to recognize electronic tags on vehicles. This system enables the extraction and effective utilization of all vehicle attributes, as well as static and dynamic information, through an information network platform. It organizes these data according to different functional needs, allowing for better regulation of a vehicle's operational status and providing integrated services.
This technology is based on RFID (Radio-Frequency Identification) application technology, which is used for managing vehicle-related information resources. The project was organized by the Ministry of Public Security and certified by the Ministry of Science and Technology as a key project under the 2007 National Science and Technology Support Program, with the project number 2008BAF31B00. The development of automotive digital standard source technology aims to promote the "vehicle networking" concept and accelerate the industrialization of RFID technology.
**Development of the Internet of Vehicles**
The evolution of the Internet of Vehicles can be divided into three main stages: car network → car mobile internet → intelligent car network. Currently, we are focusing on developing the car internet and moving toward a fully connected car network. On the roads, various technologies are being applied to enable intelligent driving assistance. With future breakthroughs in black technology, autonomous driving and smart transportation will become a reality.
**Vehicle Network Industry Chain Analysis**
The car networking industry chain has a three-tier structure. It involves many links, such as communication chip/module providers, external hardware suppliers, RFID and sensor manufacturers, system integrators, application software and equipment providers, telecom operators, service providers, and automobile manufacturers. In general, it can be categorized into three layers: the operating layer, the application layer, and the management layer.
TSP (Telematics Service Provider) plays a central role in the industry chain. As the core of the telematics sector, TSP connects automotive companies, equipment manufacturers, network operators, and content providers. Whoever controls the TSP can control the entire telematics industry, making TSP a key player among car manufacturers, telecom operators, GPS providers, and car audio/video navigation manufacturers.
**How Does Telematics Benefit Us?**
1. **More Convenient and Smooth Travel**
Have you ever experienced a small accident causing traffic jams? In the era of vehicle networking, each car is equipped with GPS and “eyes†that can upload road conditions to traffic authorities. The cloud then manages traffic flow and plans routes to avoid congestion, making travel more efficient.
2. **Safer Driving**
Safety is always a top priority. With the Internet of Vehicles, cars can actively detect their surroundings using sensors and connect with traffic signals to provide automatic warnings and avoid dangers. In the future, achieving a zero-accident rate may no longer be a dream.
3. **Low-Carbon and Eco-Friendly Travel**
In a low-carbon society, the intelligent transportation system brought by the Internet of Vehicles will play a crucial role in energy saving and emission reduction. It can contribute up to 20% in energy savings and pollution reduction. A smooth traffic network made up of people, vehicles, and roads will significantly reduce fuel consumption and environmental impact.
Ultimately, the goal of the Internet of Vehicles is to improve travel efficiency, ensure safer driving, and promote environmental protection—benefiting both individuals and businesses.
**Key Functions of the Internet of Vehicles**
Although many functions of the Internet of Vehicles are still under development, the power of the Internet and cloud computing opens up endless possibilities. Currently, the most useful features include OBD (On-Board Diagnostic) and navigation systems.
What is OBD? OBD stands for On-Board Diagnostic. It’s like a doctor’s stethoscope and ultrasound device. Through the OBD port, this small box communicates with the car and sends data to the cloud via a wireless network. Car owners can check their vehicle’s condition through a mobile app, including fuel consumption, exhaust system status, and fault codes.
When this data is stored in the cloud and shared with dealers, they can monitor your car remotely. This means if a problem arises, the dealer can contact you before it becomes a major issue. It also helps prevent fraud and allows for predictive maintenance. Additionally, OBD can record driving habits and offer driving advice. Your driving style can even influence insurance premiums, as insurers may adjust rates based on how safely you drive.
For those who often forget where they parked, OBD can help locate the car using a smartphone. It also offers anti-theft features.
Another popular product in the car networking space is the navigation system. Unlike traditional apps like Baidu Maps or Gaode, these systems combine automated navigation with customer service. Users can press a button to call a center, describe their destination, and receive route guidance. They can also get weather updates, book flights, or reserve hotels—all through a single service. This model is more practical and user-friendly.
Thinking about it from an Internet perspective, these navigation tools can offer free customer service, generating revenue through partnerships with travel agencies. If we consider a car as an app, with millions of users, the potential for data-driven services is huge. However, automakers have not yet kept up with the pace of the Internet industry, leaving room for startups in the car networking market.
With the rapid growth of the IoT, the car networking industry is becoming a promising blue ocean, full of opportunities for innovation and development.
