Abstract
Transportation industry basically deals with the movement of people, animals and goods from one location to another . Internet of Things (IoT) is the interconnection of uniquely identifiable embedded sensors within the existing internet infrastructure. Similarly, IoT refers to the ability of everyday objects to connect to the internet and to send and receive data. IoT presents a unique technology transition that is impacting economies and will have huge positive and negative implications. There are 15 billion connected devices as of today and researchers believe that there will be 50 billion networked devices in the near future. Through this embedded sensor technology, companies will enjoy unprecedented visibility into operations, enabling new sources of value. This visibility, in turn, will transform how the transportation industry will function. This paper aims to explore the role of IoT in the transportation industry during Covid 19 pandemic by creating contextual awareness and identification of opportunities available as a result of this technology. The paper will adapt an exploratory methodology to identify challenges that hinder implementation of IoT in transportation industry followed by description of mechanisms that can mitigate these challenges for successful implementation. The results of this paper will be used to advice the policy makers in transportation industry on how IoT can be used to improve the service delivery during Covid 19 pandemic
