North American School Bus Telematics Market: Learning To Grow Amidst Pricing Pressures
Palo Alto, CA - The Automotive & Transportation Group at Frost & Sullivan announced its 2008 Quarterly Analyst Briefing Presentation on the North American school bus telematics market to be held on Wednesday, May 14, 2008 at 12:00 pm PDT.
The potential risks and vulnerabilities associated with student transportation, coupled with the need for school bus tracking and monitoring to enhance the profitability of fleet operations, has led to the development of the North American school bus telematics market. Currently, the school bus telematics market is driven by heightened student safety and security concerns, student accountability, declining hardware and service prices, multimodal communications network technologies, maximization of fuel efficiency, and knowledge management-based applications. In short, the telematics market is primed for growth between 2008 and 2014.
However, given the current national economic environment and budgetary restrictions at the school district level, the upfront and lifecycle costs of integrating a fleet of school buses with telematics solutions is becoming difficult for school districts.
This briefing will benefit school bus telematics hardware suppliers, service providers, telematics software developers, distributors and system integrators, school bus manufacturers, school districts, contractors, and transportation officials by discussing market trends and providing forward projections for the North American school bus telematics industry.
Highlights of the briefing include: an analysis of the total school bus telematics market, competitive dynamics and industry structure, evolution of services, technology roadmap, market drivers and restraints, market penetration, hardware and service revenue forecasts, market and technology trends.
"Presently, the North American school bus telematics market is developing the key fundamentals that are necessary to increase market penetration, such as continuous development of innovative and cost-effective telematics solutions that meet the unique safety, security and mobile resource management needs of the school districts and fleets," notes Frost & Sullivan Research Analyst Neelu Singh. "Under current economic conditions, industry stakeholders must develop standardized technology platforms and infrastructural developments spanning multi-modal communication network technologies, and student monitoring and remote diagnostics/prognostics competencies to bring in the next wave of market adoption."
