Abstract
INTRODUCTION
This study forecasts the impact of the convergence of telecommunications,
digital displays and control systems on selected segments of the agricultural,
aircraft, automotive, construction, intelligent transport, maritime and
railroad industries. The most comprehensive examination of the rapidly
evolving telematics industry yet undertaken, it analyzes and provides U.S. and
global forecasts for this $52 billion business at the component, systems and
applications levels.
At the component level, mobile telematics describes and forecasts acquisition
costs for more than 170 specialized components and subsystems required by
manufacturers of mobile telematics systems. At the systems level, it forecasts
U.S. and worldwide requirements for 16 generic types of mobile telematics
systems, and at the applications level, the study addresses mobile telematics
requirements for:
- ten types of intelligent transport systems and installations
- five types of on-road vehicles
- four types of off-road vehicles
- passenger and commuter rail systems
- passenger and business jets and cruise liners
- The report provides more than 2,400 application-specific tables including
forecasts for system requirements and the projected costs of these systems.
Each forecast is presented as a table that separately addresses U.S. and
worldwide markets. The global market is divided further into three categories
that summarize data for high-income, middle-income and low-income nations.
To help readers better understand the future direction of the telematics
market, mobile telematics also includes a comprehensive listing of relevant
patents. For those with titles that specifically reference telematics, this
report includes patent abstracts and contact information for the inventors and
assignees.
