IoT has transformed the transport and logistics sector in many ways. IoT-enabled GPS allows for real-time tracking, to monitor vehicle location at all times, driver behaviour, optimise routes and avoid delays. IoT sensors are used to track temperature and humidity in cold chain logistics. IoT technology is also used to assess road conditions and ease congestion.
Telematics
Telematics systems collect data from IoT sensors installed in vehicles. These sensors provide detailed data from vehicle location and driver behaviour to fuel efficiency and wear and tear of the vehicle. IoT also helps fleet managers ensure regulatory compliance. IoT sensors are also used to track goods in transit and provide the customer with information on the status of their delivery.
From planning efficient routes to tracking vehicles and assets, transport and logistics are industries that rely on visibility over their processes. IoT and mobile connectivity give that in spades, while saving time and money to boot.
But many companies lack the time, resources, or expertise to get started with IoT.
We’re here to fix that.
We help businesses optimise processes, enhance decision-making, increase revenue, and more through custom-built IoT and mobile connectivity solutions, available across 185 countries and 960 networks.
Founded in 2015, we’re a team of creators and tech lovers who believe things work better connected. We’re UK-based, but hail from all over the world.Like our namesake—the supercontinent that connected the world before separating into the continents of today—we’re connecting everything.

Traffic Conditions
IoT technology is used to monitor traffic conditions. IoT-enabled traffic lights can detect weather conditions and congestion. IoT is used to analyse traffic to find alternative routes during high commuter hours. IoT-enabled sensors embedded in roads can detect accidents and report them.
Route Management
IoT technology can help to reduce traffic congestion on roads by identifying areas with heavy traffic. IoT-enabled sensors and traffic cameras work together to ensure the rapid movement of vehicles, reroute them or provide alternate shorter routes to deal with an increase in traffic volume.
Passenger
IoT has improved passenger travel from ports, train stations and airports by making it cheaper, safer, more convenient, and sustainable. Real-time vehicle tracking allows passengers to know the exact timing of arrival and departure. IoT helps to notify and reroute passengers and vehicles when there are disruptions to public transport such as road closures and weather conditions.
Ports
IoT helps to create a better passenger experience at ports, marinas and on vessels. IoT-enabled location services provide passengers and crew with real-time information on ship arrival and departure times. Smart ports are able to track millions of shipments, passengers, and vessels. IoT helps to monitor environmental impact, maintain safety standards, and boost efficiency and productivity in ports.
Airports
Smart airports use IoT technology to better manage passengers, security, baggage, aircraft, ground staff, and airport operations. Real-time monitoring can locate staff throughout the airport, IoT-enabled sensors monitor foot traffic to reduce choke points, IoT is used to track travellers and help get them to boarding gates.
Stations
IoT applications for stations include real-time tracking of buses and trains, IoT-enabled ticket scanners that relay information to train conductors and transit agencies, tracking to personalise travel information, IoT-enabled sensors in driverless tube carriages that detect obstacles.
Operational Monitoring
Transport agencies use IoT technology to monitor their assets and infrastructure and use that data to develop more efficient processes, minimise operating costs and improve system capacity.
Kajeet provides optimized IoT connectivity, software and hardware solutions that deliver safe, reliable and controlled internet access to nearly 3,000 businesses, schools, state and local governments and IoT solution providers.

Train Systems Management
IoT technology is used in train systems management to monitor the condition and performance of rail equipment. IoT sensors embedded in infrastructure and equipment help owners to maintain the structural health of their assets. Predictive maintenance ensures engineers are alerted of equipment failure. IoT also helps to minimise operating costs.

Cargo
IoT technology has been a gamechanger for cargo monitoring. IoT-enabled GPS and IoT sensors allow business to track the status, location and condition of cargo being transported. IoT sensors are attached to freights, pallets and containers so fleet operators can monitor and manage shipments anywhere in the world. This data helps make smarter decisions about supply and demand and route options.
Fleet Management
IoT applications for fleet management are vehicle tracking and locating, ensuring compliance with electronic logging devices, monitoring driver behaviour to improve fuel use and safe driving policy, predictive fleet maintenance and reducing insurance costs.
