Future telematic services for Electric Vehicles

Abstract

The Electric Vehicle represents an excellent opportunity for introducing telematic services into automotive sector. Moreover, satellite-based Intelligent Transport Systems (ITS) are an important component of the global answer to the challenge raised by increased personal and freight mobility. The continuity, accuracy and availability provided by GNSS-based fleet management applications open the possibility of reducing the negative impact of road transport while offering new services to a wide range of transport actors. The GMV Company and the University of Valladolid have joined their efforts in order to explore the potential of PALVIEW®, an open, robust and scalable technical platform integrating a large number of telematic services. In particular, this article focuses on the analysis of current telematic services and their future evolution once the advent of the Electric Vehicle is a reality. The generalization of such applications is crucial for the improvement of the mobility of the users of electric vehicles that will promote their demand.
