Embedded computing is based on the collection, processing and transmission of information in real time, using sensors, actuators, processors and dedicated software. These systems use advanced algorithms to analyze information and make automated decisions. In transport, an on-board system can monitor tachographs, track vehicle geolocation and send alerts on driving conditions. These connected devices optimize operations and simplify decision-making.

On-board computing offers numerous benefits that meet today's transport challenges:

• Increased efficiency: optimized management of operations thanks to reliable data available in real time.
• Enhanced compliance: precise monitoring of social and road regulations to limit the risk of infringement.
• Improved safety: alerts on driving behavior and traffic conditions to reduce incidents.
• Reduced costs: thanks to route optimization, eco-driving practices and process automation.
• Energy efficiency and sustainable development: by limiting fuel consumption and CO₂ emissions, on-board computing contributes to more responsible operations.
• Better resource management: precise fleet geolocation and tracking enable optimal use of vehicles and equipment.

Embedded computing presents several major challenges for carriers and manufacturers:

• System complexity: the integration of various technologies, such as hardware, software and networks, represents a major technical challenge.
• Regulatory requirements: strict compliance with social and environmental standards imposes operational and administrative constraints.
• Cybersecurity: protecting sensitive data against intrusion and hacking remains a priority in an increasingly connected environment.
• Rapid technological evolution: technology watch and innovation are essential to keep equipment and software up to date and competitive in a constantly changing sector.

An embedded system is a specific technical object combining hardware and software, designed to perform a specific mission autonomously. It integrates components such as memory, communication interfaces and computing units to provide dedicated functionalities. On the other hand, embedded computing encompasses a broader set of solutions that integrate these systems to manage and optimize operations in different sectors, such as transport or industry. Embedded computing enables these systems to be interconnected to provide centralized management and enhanced performance.

In-vehicle computing plays an essential role in improving driver safety by performing advanced real-time monitoring and analysis functions. For example, it detects risky behaviors such as speeding or hard braking, and proposes solutions to correct them. Thanks to intelligent warning systems, it informs drivers about their vehicle's condition and driving conditions, while optimizing fuel consumption.

What's more, by integrating devices such as PTI (Protection des Travailleurs Isolés), it guarantees immediate assistance in the event of an incident, making the world of transport safer and more responsible. With precise calculations based on data collected in real time, the aim is to reduce risks, respect the highway code and protect both drivers and other road users.

On-board computing can be applied to a wide range of sectors:

• Road transport: fleet monitoring, regulatory compliance, route optimization.
• Automotive: driving assistance systems, real-time diagnostics.
• Logistics: inventory management, delivery tracking.
• Energy: smart grid and infrastructure monitoring.

The cost depends on several factors, such as the number of vehicles equipped, the desired functionalities (trip tracking, alerts, integration with a TMS) and the installation model (purchase or SaaS subscription). Although this represents an initial investment, the efficiency gains and reduced operating costs ensure an excellent return on investment.

On-board IT integrates with tools such as :

• TMS (Transport Management System): to centralize data and plan operations.
• FMS (Fleet Management System): for advanced fleet management.
• CRM and ERP: to connect transport operations with commercial and administrative management.

To choose the right solution :

1. Identify your needs: tracking regulations, optimizing routes, fleet management.
2. Analyze functionalities: compatibility with existing systems, scalability, ease of use.
3. Ask for a demonstration: evaluate the solution's performance and ergonomics.
