Automotive & IoT Use Cases 

Explore common IoT use cases in the automotive industry and their brief descriptions in the table below: 

eCall IoT

eCall is a versatile system related to other IoT automotive use cases like fleet management, usage-based insurance, entertainment, stolen vehicle recovery, and navigation. It enables vehicles to connect and communicate through both aftermarket and factory-fit connectivity for various purposes. 

Usage-Based Insurance (UBI) IoT

UBI demonstrates the benefits of IoT in automotive industry, specifically in insurance. Through telematics devices, insurers collect data on vehicle usage and driving behavior, such as speed, braking, and time of day. This data allows insurers to calculate premiums based on actual driving patterns rather than traditional risk factors.

Vehicle Diagnostics IoT

IoT-enabled vehicles help to monitor specific operations and overall vehicle health via analyzing data like engine efficiency, fuel consumption, braking system functionality, and battery status. With sensors, onboard diagnostics (OBD), and IoT connectivity this data is delivered real-time to centralized systems or cloud platforms.  

Dash Cams

In-vehicle cameras using IoT connectivity record vehicle interiors or exteriors to document evidence during road accidents. Integration with IoT solutions enables real-time video transmission, remote monitoring, and data storage in the cloud. 

In-Vehicle Infotainment

IoT-connected infotainment systems in vehicles provide entertainment, navigation, and other features. These systems enable music streaming, voice-controlled assistance, real-time traffic updates, and seamless integration with smartphones. 

In-Vehicle Navigation

With IoT, in-vehicle navigation systems offer real-time, turn-by-turn guidance, helping drivers reach their destinations efficiently. These systems integrate traffic updates, live route adjustments, hazard warnings, and weather conditions, allowing for dynamic route planning and continuous optimization.  

Vehicle Head Unit

A vehicle head unit is an integrated, factory-fitted onboard system that provides a central interface for managing a wide range of connected car services. By integrating IoT connectivity, the head unit offers real-time access to vehicle diagnostics, performance data, and remote monitoring as well as other smart functions. 

Road Traffic Monitoring & Control

Involves connections to buses, especially public transport vehicles, and encompasses monitoring and controlling road traffic. It includes features like road condition monitoring, congestion charging, and traffic volume monitoring. 

EV Charging

IoT-powered EV charging integrates connected devices for real-time monitoring, predictive maintenance, and dynamic load management. IoT systems optimize energy use, adjust pricing based on demand, and provide real-time updates to users.
