Connected transport specialist sees 9 global trends in Internet of Things

If you were asked to name one industry vertical with a lot to gain from connecting its devices, analysing their data, then using these insights to create new services, what would it be? Smart cities? Manufacturing? Healthcare? How about transport? It’s benefited hugely over the years from machine-to-machine communications (M2M), particularly in vehicle telematics. But the game is always moving on.

Choice is the future of parking

Cashless parking has proliferated across the UK in the past decade and a half. It’s become the default option for many drivers, and now also an imperative solution.
