Bosch study results: Internet technology will improve traffic safety and efficiency and save drivers time

– A modeling exercise on development parameters through 2025 identified the benefits of cars with Internet connectivity and driver assistance systems in the U.S., China and Germany

– 260,000 accidents avoided reduction of CO2 Almost 400 thousand tons significant time-saving for drivers

– Over 4.3 billion euros saved in damages

– 350,000 fewer road accidents

After a long drive on the highway at high speed, there comes an alarming moment: a traffic jam suddenly begins around the next bend. Reaching the destination, the driver again experiences the anxiety of not finding a free parking space near the house or office. These days, such unpleasant moments are part of a person’s daily life behind the wheel. Meanwhile, drivers will have new features as soon as a decade from now. The development of automated driving systems will reach such a level that a person behind the wheel will be able to feel calm in any situation. As you drive down the highway, the cars ahead will send the next competitor a warning to slow down, and your own car will throttle back in time when alerted to a potentially dangerous situation. At the end of the journey, the navigator guides the driver to a free parking space. What’s more, vehicles will be able to park without a driver. With the introduction of Internet technology in cars, the above will cease to be science fiction and become reality.

In a study called “Connected Car Effect 2025,” per. from Eng. In a study see “Networked Cars 2025” conducted by Bosch in partnership with the consultancy firm Prognos, trends in networked cars are seen in the transport networks of the US, Germany and China’s largest cities. According to the study, automotive safety systems and cloud technology will help prevent about 260,000 injuries from road accidents, reduce CO2 By 390,000 tons and save drivers many hours of free time. “The cars of the future that are integrated into the network will have fewer accidents, conserve fuel, and cause less anxiety for drivers,” said Dr. Dirk Hoaisel, a member of the Bosch Board of Directors, summarizing the results of the model calculations.

Modern assistance and safety systems will become data sources

“The protagonists of the networked automotive revolution will be the comfort and driver assistance systems that already exist,” Dr. Hoaisel continues. According to model calculations, by 2025 Electronic Stability Program ESP will be installed in up to 90 percent of all vehicles in the three countries examined in our study. Automatic emergency braking and automatic warning systems for unintentional crossings will be installed in forty percent or more of the cars. Networked capabilities will be available to most cars: by 2025, approximately one in two infotainment systems will have smartphone functions.

More systems and connected cars will open up new opportunities for road users. ESP sensors will provide data on icy hazardous areas ahead along the route cameras will collect data on speed limits and areas with poor visibility due to fog. Internet-based parking search solutions will become widespread. Real-time information functions will track vehicle data and alert the driver when he or she enters a lane.

Facts from the “Cars with Networked Capabilities 2025” study results

“The results of our study show that integrating cars online will have a measurable impact on every driver in 2025.”,

– Dr. Hoheisel notes. As part of the study, Bosch and Prognos made model calculations for the U.S., China and Germany. The following are the key findings.

  • There will be 260 thousand fewer car accidents causing injuries in the three countries each year 210 thousand fewer in the US, 20 thousand fewer in China and 30 thousand fewer in Germany . This many accidents happen every 2 years in Berlin, the German capital.
  • By 350,000 people 290,000 in the U.S., 25,000 in China and 37,000 in Germany the number of people injured in traffic accidents will decrease – by comparison, it is 12 years without an injury in a car accident in Los Angeles.
  • Some 11,000 lives will be saved as a result of networked driver assistance systems: 4,000 in the U.S., 7,000 in China and 300 in Germany.
  • Savings of up to 4.3 billion euros are expected in property damage compensation. This is almost double the amount spent by the Chinese government in 2016 as part of the Beijing Air Quality Improvement Program. Reducing payments will save insurance companies a lot of money in fact, it means reducing insurance costs for every car owner. 3.6 billion euros will be saved in the U.S., 380 million in China and 450 million in Germany.
  • By integrating cars into the network, CO2 nearly 400,000 tons – about the amount of carbon dioxide absorbed by the forests in Germany’s Black Forest National Park in three years. Concepts for municipal parking lots and active parking management will reduce the distance cars travel by about 380 million kilometers. At the same time, the development of automated driving technologies will provide additional fuel savings.
  • Internet-based parking space search solutions in the U.S., China and Germany will save about 70 million hours behind the wheel. For comparison, this is the working time of approximately 40,000 employees in a year.
  • Up to 31 hours of free time will be gained by long-distance drivers on average, drivers spend up to 43 hours a year driving on highways in the U.S., up to 26 hours in China, and up to 39.5 hours in Germany . Advances in automated driving technologies and the integration of cars into the network will enable up to 80% of time spent driving to be used for other activities: reading, emailing, conference calls and video conferencing, watching movies. Active drivers, who drive about 40,000 kilometers a year, will get up to 95 hours of free travel time.

Bosch is actively developing networking capabilities for cars

There is hardly another company in the world more committed to developing networked vehicle capabilities than Bosch. The company is developing solutions to integrate cars into the network, necessary sensors and cloud technology. Numerous new solutions based on intuitive display tools and shared data concepts are emerging in Bosch’s portfolio.

Research Methodology

A total of eleven current technologies developed for passenger cars were studied by Bosch and Prognos, and their impact on traffic in 2025 in the United States, Germany, and major cities in China was estimated. “In the calculations, we modeled the rate of integration of new technologies into passenger car equipment,” explains Prognos transportation systems expert Stefan Kritzinger. The model is based on international statistics on the number of vehicles, traffic accidents, current research and forecasts by Bosch and Prognos.

Since 1959 Prognos has provided various research and consulting services on planned development, including for politicians, businessmen and public figures. Based on sound analysis and predictions, experts in Basel, Berlin, Bremen, Brussels, Düsseldorf, Freiburg, Munich and Stuttgart develop practical solutions and strategies for private companies, public services and international organizations.
