IoT in Transportation Overview

Connectivity, Sensors, and Data Analytics Market Outlook and Forecast: 2022-2031

The use of Internet of Things (IoT) technology in transportation is relatively well-established, though different sectors are at different stages of penetration and use cases vary across sectors. However, the consistent theme is the use of IoT sensors and analytics to improve processes involved in moving passengers and cargo. Governments and transportation operators are aiming for increased cost efficiency, a differentiated user experience, and new revenue streams through using IoT in transportation.

Key drivers for adoption of IoT in transportation include concerns around CO2 emissions and the environment, safe movement of passengers and cargo, and the increasing need for efficient transportation solutions as the travel and logistics industries recover from the COVID-19 pandemic. Use cases include sensor-based predictive maintenance, traffic and congestion management in train stations and airports, up to digital twins and autonomous vehicles.

This Guidehouse Insights report discusses how IoT technology is being deployed in the transportation sector, focusing on passenger travel (primarily aviation and rail) and logistics (primarily trucking and ports). This report describes IoT use cases in airports, rail stations, shipping ports, and trucks and provides information on key players targeting transportation. It also provides forecasts for the expected investment in each sector by global region through 2031.
