Hence, the global Smart Transportation Market is leveraging the necessity of efficient and automatic transportation infrastructures for mainstreaming the fleet of autonomous vehicles.

Artificial Intelligence to Assist ‘Smarter’ Functionality of Automotive Batteries:

Smart transportation is not just limited to smart vehicles and smart infrastructures, but an ITS should also deliver facilities to provide the smarter utility of fuel to diminish energy loss, supplementing the trend of ‘low carbon economy.’ As the automotive sector is already implementing ‘light-weighting’ to augment fuel economy in ICE vehicles, Robert Bosch GmbH announced a new service for the rampantly developing electric and hybrid vehicles. The battery in the Cloud, launched in 2019, is a solution designed for connecting electric vehicles batteries with AI running in the cloud. By persistent monitoring and analysis of battery statuses such as current ambient temperature and charging habits, and optimization of recharging processes it can deliver energy conservation instructions to drivers utilizing in-car displays and can increase battery life by 20%. The German technology and engineering giant has also found its first customer implementing this solution, which is a Beijing-based mobility giant DiDi Chuxing, which as of 2018 had 550 million users and tens of millions of drivers on its platform. An energy tech startup developed similar solutions, Greensmith in 2012, and Advanced Charging Technologies also deliver real-time analytics of vehicles batteries on a cloud-based application. However, Bosch is delivering an edge to itself with AI integration as it transmits real-time battery data to be treated by machine learning algorithms in datacenters. Considering the emphasis given on efficiency of ‘fuel’ and ‘power’ by the automotive sector, this innovation as a ‘smart battery’ for the emerging electrical fleet is adding impetus to the smart transportation market growth.
