14 EV and Connected Transportation 5G is set to revolutionize how fleet vehicles operate. Fleet telematics is becoming near real-time with increased accuracy and capabilities among asset condition/location, driver monitoring and assistance, and even teleoperation. Jean-Jacques DeLisle for Mouser Electronics Modernizing Fleet Telematics with 5G I n the face of rising gas prices and consumer goods pricing at an all-time high, more goods are being packaged, shipped, and delivered than ever before. While there are more vehicles in fleets to provide last-mile delivery, this reality stems from a general shortage of transportation fleet availability. Whether it is a driver shortage or just an artifact of the transportation logistic supply chain/regulations, what matters is the ability to make the most of available transportation resources. An emerging solution to enhancing fleet operations' efficiency, safety, and timeliness is using 5G fleet telematics technologies to more effectively monitor drivers, provide assistance, and even enable real-time teleoperation. Enhanced fleet management accuracy and capabilities will ultimately bring about a revolution in fleet management that can undoubtedly ease the transportation logistic challenges across the globe. This article will examine how vehicle-to-vehicle (V2V) and vehicle-to-infrastructure (V2I) networks using 5G will transform all aspects of fleet management.
