Real Time Traffic And Directions Information (TDI) Services

Real time traffic and directions information (TDI) services enable driver to drive the vehicle using real time data from sources about the traffic and routes to take, so that vehicle driver can make proper decision regarding optimum route to take. This technology uses data from different sources in real-time and processes information to take immediate decisions that is the key to successful traffic management. Traffic data comes from a traffic data collection system that analyzes traffic flow, data collected from data observation points collected after regular interval of time.

Fleet Management Services

Fleet management services provides cheap and reliable communications link to track location of a fleet vehicle, finding out optimal routes, minimize idle time, monitor driving pattern/driver behavior and ensure vehicle safety. Advantages of having fleet management services in a vehicle includes fuel consumption monitoring, enhanced driver and vehicle safety, evaluation of driver’s and vehicle’s performance and improved customer service. Instantaneous location targeting using global positioning system (GPS), online monitoring program are some of technologies used for fleet management services. The market for the vehicle in-navigation systems is growing at a significant rate in the emerging economies such as Asia Pacific, owing to a rise in the GDP and population in these regions, resulting in improvement in lifestyles, increased purchasing power of consumers, and development in road connectivity and infrastructure.

Others (Parking, Weather Info, Etc)

This segment covers other services such as parking, weather information, etc. Parking services shows the availability of parking spot and count of free spaces in registered area. The main function of the weather information system includes issuing disaster warnings and conducting climate studies. Whereas concierge enables user to get premiere services such as notifications regarding various alerts on screen boards of a GPS system.

For availability of parking services, a central server maintains database about registered parking area. So, a driver can make a judgment based on nearby vacant parking thus by using navigation method, the user can get the shortest path to the chosen parking region. A typical weather information system is the collection of components such as sensors, communication, software, and computers. The system helps to capture information of important weather parameters, transmit information, and run forecast models.    

Critical Questions would be:

• Regular traffic updates and updates of road environments are the basic information for connected vehicles. How it is creating opportunities for the supply side?
• How the development in road logistics and supply chain will help in-dash navigation system manufacturers to grab new revenue opportunities?
• In which regions, companies can create new revenue pockets for short as well as long term? 

High system cost and lack of supporting infrastructure in developing countries are major factors restraining the growth of the in-dash navigation system market. In developing countries, there is enormous difference in income level; hence affordability and buyers purchasing power is less. This create situation where less number of customers buy premium cars and mass number of customers prefer buying economic cars. In-vehicle navigation system cost is comparatively high than that of other navigation devices or systems, which is major restrain of in-vehicle navigation system market.

Another restrain is lack of supporting infrastructure, navigation infrastructure includes road connectivity, space and ground base connectivity, database for navigation, telecom support and more. In most of the developing region connectivity issue is more prominent as required bandwidth for navigation systems is supported in most of the rural areas. If we consider connectivity in rural areas of India 4G connectivity is not available which is required for smooth operations of in-vehicle navigation systems. In addition, government initiatives are less supportive to improve infrastructure. In India, there is no rule for the use of navigation systems which could hamper public safety.

Key players in the in-dash navigation system market include Robert Bosch GmbH (Germany), Continental AG (Germany), Denso Corporation (Japan), and Delphi Automotive Plc. (UK), TomTom (Netherlands), Garmin(Switzerland), Harman international (US) These players are increasingly undertaking mergers and acquisitions, and product launches to develop and introduce modern technologies and products in the market.
