What Does Connected Vehicle Mean?
1 Answers
So-called connected vehicles can be understood as the connection between vehicles through certain devices, the connection between vehicles and network centers, intelligent transportation systems, and other service centers, and even the connection between vehicles and residences, offices, and some public infrastructures. In other words, they enable information exchange between the in-vehicle network and the external network, comprehensively addressing the information communication issues among humans, vehicles, and the external environment. Below is relevant information: 1. Initial Stage of Connected Vehicles: The basic functions of connected vehicles in the initial stage generally date back to the official establishment of the International Telematics Industry Alliance (ITIF) in 2010. That is to say, the initial stage of connected vehicles is represented by Telematics technology. Telematics is a combination of telecommunications and informatics, referring to a comprehensive information service system that enables the exchange of text, images, and voice information through computer network technology built into vehicles, aircraft, ships, trains, and other transportation tools, utilizing wireless communication technology and GPS satellite navigation. 2. Characteristics of Telematics: The characteristics of Telematics lie in the fact that most application systems are located on the network (such as communication networks, satellites, and broadcasting) rather than inside the vehicle. Drivers can use wireless transmission to connect to the network for transmitting and receiving information and services, as well as downloading application systems or updating software, with relatively low costs. The main functions still focus on driving safety and vehicle security.
