[Enquête] smart health connected objects and transport

According to a report by the Idate (DigiWorld Institute), there will be between 50 and 80 billion of smart health connected objects in the world by 2020. With such figures, we can wonder what our future, but also our means of transport and locomotion will be made. Thanks to all these innovations, such as the Hyperloop project or even autonomous cars, we are entitled to give free rein to our imagination.

Public transport

Admittedly, technology has revolutionized daily public transportation, the Navigo Pass, the mobile application which allows you to consult timetables and traffic information, free WiFi in stations … So many little things that seem so commonplace to us today. This year, SNCF and RATP have finally decided to listen and listen to their users. Indeed, from major modernization works on all the lines were announced for the summer of 2020 (Ile-com-France residents have been able to see this for several months).

But other French companies have also decided to invest in smart health connected objects and transport, such as Magellan Partners in Lyon, which is trying to equip sensor buses to analyze the air quality. "Many other projects are under consideration or in the process of being set up, notably with Cac40 groups.", Explain Didier Zeitoun CEO of Magellan Partners. Other concepts to improve mainline transport are under construction, such as the Hyperloop project (initiated by Elon Musk in person), a very very very high speed train (1200 km / h or Paris-Marseille in 35 minutes) operational from 2018 in Asia.

But beyond improving transport, the French authorities have recently taken the decision to use technologies to our in order to prevent and fight against harassment and assault in the subway. This project was born thanks to the Ministry of Transport and the Ministry of Women's Rights, as well as to the RATP and the SNCF. From now on an SMS alert service will be put in place, in order to warn the world discreetly in the event of an attack. Other systems are under development, such as applications of geolocation, integrated cameras or even smart health connected objects to locate and challenge quickly the attackers.

But smart health connected objects and what goes with them are not just limited to public transport, carpooling services and smart health connected applications to order a private driver also exist.

Private services

Services such as BlaBlaCar, Heetch or Uber have definitely changed the world of private transportation. Indeed this sector formerly reserved for VTC companies and taxis, today it is possible to order a driver in one click, but also to become a driver! In the end, it's a win-win isn't it? For Killian, an employee of the Heetch Carpool, “A concept like Heetch would not have been possible without such objects. We were thus able to connect two types of users: people wishing to move from point A to point B, quickly, simply and inexpensively, and people wishing to reduce the user fees incurred by their vehicle ". Moreover "this allowed an opening of the market (which certainly did not agree with everyone) but which clearly allowed the company to know an evolution, still in progress, and to bring down hopefully the barriers of a closed market, whose diversity and potential is underestimated ”.

But that's not all, generally these applications are equipped with a GPS smart health connected (Waze), which means that traffic, information and the slightest incident can be automatically reported and share on the network! Pretty handy for finding the quickest route, or with the least amount of control, for example. Since the beginning of the year, the company Blue Taxis launched in partnership with The Button Corporation (BTTN) a system of smart health connected button, in order to counter Uber and its ilk, it allows you to order a taxi immediately, without even going through an application, useful for hotels or restaurants that often require the services of its companies.

The everyday car

Cars are now intelligent and almost autonomous, something to dream of science fiction fans who used to see it only in movies. But the reality is there, the cars that start / stop and park all alone (like Google and Audi vehicles) arrived, the on-board systems are real little technological marvels, and augmented reality is starting to show up in the automotive world. The holographic projection real-time traffic information on the windshield is also being tested at the manufacturer's premises Continental in Germany.

In 2018, the world should count around 78 million smart health connected cars according to a study by the consulting firm AlixPartners. So at this rate, we can wonder if there will still be drivers in a few years. In addition with such technologies, suppliers and manufacturers will be able to analyze and repair vehicles directly, if it suffers a failure for example. However, the material used for this famous technology is still expensive, and even if the main materials have undergone a 30% cost reduction, not all OEMs can equip them.

Other means of transport

For people who are more ecological or simply more athletic, smart health connected bikes as well as their GPS assistants (like Haïku) or even smart health connected scooters are currently in full expansion. 100% electric trams are also under construction, in order to improve transport for users, as well as the quality of life and air in large cities.

Profitable markets

For the American economist Jeremy Rifkin, “We have entered the era of the third industrial revolution in recent years where innovations in the energy, communication and transport sectors are converging”. According to a recent study by the newspaper La Tribune, sectors such as those of autonomous cars should create from 2018, excessively productive and lucrative markets, amounting to several hundred billion dollars. In addition, the creation of professional branches of activity will allow the creation of new jobs as well as new innovations.
