Industry Standard for ADAS by End of 2019
In the first week of September 18, during
an annual meet of an automotive industry
body, Shri Nitin Gadkari said that ADAS may
be made mandatory by early 2022. Given
that we are at the fag end of 2018, its only
three years and couple of months before
ADAS becomes mandated! First it was AIS

Though it would have been better if we
would have had a more time to run up to
such an important milestone for all forms of Maneesh Prasad
automotive- two wheel, four wheel, x-wheel Editor & CEO
etc. But nonetheless, the institutions which
have been responsible for preparing standards have got into action.
In our context in India, since early 90s, initial automotive standards have
been prepared and issued by Automotive Industry Standards Committee
at ARAI. The AIS Committee formed for each such part/devcie/
specification, majorly has industry representatives in the sub-committee.
AIS forms an input or additional reference for industry standards which
is later issued by Bureau of Indian Standards. Once the “IS” from BIS is
issued, it supersedes the AIS. Case in hand being the IS 16833 which now
supersedes the popular AIS 140.
The AIS, which has in general preceded “IS”, has also issued draft in public
domain for industry inputs/feedback from stakeholders. “IS” which works
in parallel but with little different composition, having lesser industry
representation in its sub-committee, takes the AIS input and works on it
to prepare the “IS” in a BIS specific format. Also a reason for this “IS”
taking more time to be published. The present case in point being IS for
vehicle tracking which has been prepared by TED 28 in BIS, is open for
industry inputs too.
Cutting the long story, in a departure with the precedences where AIS
usually comes before IS, there is a different story in the offing for ADAS.
BIS is already working on ADAS standard which may be issued by end of
2019, less than a year, considering only few days left in the current year
2018.
Personally I will be seeking answer to- What is the need of having two
standards issued when IS has to supersede AIS? Maybe, thereafter intent
to take my view to the ministry- MORTH, that it should drive a coordination
where the AIS is draft input for BIS to prepare the IS, would change.

M2M/ IoT In Automotive Sector

As per projection by GSMA (GSM Association) and Machina Research (World’s leading advisor on M2M, Internet of Things and Big Data),
there may be around 24 billion connected devices globally around 2020, with a business impact of around US $ 4.3 trillion. Later on CISCO
/ Ericsson / ITU projected this to be around 50 billion. Global projections vary from 24 Billion to 50 Billion connected devices by 2020. Such
projections entice the industry to explore and tap a wide range of opportunities that the M2M (Machine to Machine) communication / Internet
of Things (IoT) concept offers, enabling novel business cases, enhanced workflow, efficiency and improved quality of life. These devices may be in
various sectors such as Safety & Surveillance, Automotive, Power, Health care, Smart homes, Intelligent buildings, Environment monitoring and
