the automotive industry the world over is undergoing a tremendous transition with the onset of connected technology and electric mobility before we get to an era when internetconnected cars and those that run on green energy are the norms a lot has to be considered and discussed along these lines the role of iot will be big in shaping the future of mobilityread alsofeatures gap between premium massmarket cars closing rapidly harmancar buyers are paying more attention to how new connected experiences are possible with the technology available rather than the horsepower cornering abilities etc as the shift from rpm revolutions per minute to epm experiences per mile grows the automotive industry must find new ways towe got in touch with dr rishi bhatnagar president of aeris communications to learn more on the subject the companys expanse in the field and also on the concerns and challenges aheadhow do you think the onset of electric vehicles will change the face of telematics solutions in cars how is aeris contributing to this transition to evswe are witnessing accelerated pace of electrification and demand for smart and green mobility in the automobile industry electric vehicles are the future of a carbonfree world both incumbent and new oems have stepped up and are making huge investments in manufacturing erickshaws scooters cars transit buses trucks of all sizes and even bigrig tractor trailers that are fully or at least partially powered by electricitythough the basic gps tracking features remain the same in electric and fossil fuel vehicles electric vehicles need telemetry solutions that can also track battery usage and its overall health aeris aertrak along with battery management solution provides realtime vehicle tracking as well as data on battery health as well as its usage for electric vehiclesour solutions are affordable and helps in in battery life cycle management vehicle and battery remote tracking and tracing and even provides map view of batteries with charging temperature and other battery related status on a dashboard this data analysis yields information that can be used to increase battery life it also enables monitoring critical parameters such as voltage current and temperature alerts on battery discharging to prevent battery failure and can even send notification on battery removal alerting for potential thefthow can internetconnected functions improve efficiency and safetyvehicles vehicle owners and city infrastructure are at the core of the realtime information flow and ecosystem on advanced superhighways vehicles have become more innovative in the connected vehicle paradigm by communicating with nearby vehicles connected infrastructure and the environment they are now able to capture realtime traffic flow statistics maps infotainment or remote access to emergency services within secondsconnected vehicles are continually sending and receiving data from servers and they are connected not only to the internet but also to other vehicles on the road using data from shortrange communication broadcasts and peertopeer exchanges the cv technology senses what other vehicles and walkers are doing and detect potential threatsvehicletovehicle v2v communications is the ultimate car safety value
