Industry 4.0 technology platform and Internet of things for better road safety

The automotive industry is experiencing unprecedented technological transformations, more and more vehicles are connected either to the Internet or to each other moving towards a higher level of automation. In order to deal with these increasingly complex situations on roads or in cities, next-generation vehicles will have to depend not only on their sensors, but also on the sensors located on the other vehicles, and will need to cooperate with each other to make the best decision. These technological trends pose significant challenges for communication systems since information must reach its destination safely within a very short time frame due to temporary restrictions – beyond what current wireless technologies can provide.

Description

The next generation of mobile communications technologies is 5G, which promises better performance in terms of latency, greater reliability, high mobility, and connectivity density. The term Industry 4.0 was coined by the German government to describe the intelligent factory, a vision of computerized manufacturing with all the processes interconnected by the Internet of Things (IoT), evolving to what is now known as the Industrial Internet of Things, I2OT.

This proposal aims to develop solutions to increase road safety through Industry 4.0 and the Internet of Things (IoT) through efficient use in the transportation of vehicles. As a result of the first stage, the development of communication protocols is considered: vehicle to vehicle (V2V), vehicle to infrastructure (V2I), a prototype weather station with the capacity to vehicular traffic detection (I), and a prototype of a vehicle connected to a Control Center in Colima with a technology platform of industry 4.0 and Internet of Things to obtain information from drivers in real-time (a letter of support from the Secretariat is attached Executive of the State Public Security System).
