Science Of Automotive Telematics

Nilesh Maghzine
Automotive telematics is an interconnected system that involves vehicular tech like on-road transportation, road safety, sensor instrumentation and wireless telecommunications.

.

Automotive telematics empowers businesses to
  • Send, receive and store data through wireless telecommunications to remotely operate devices or systems.
  • Use tech with road vehicles, that also goes by the name, vehicle telematics
  • Empower automotive navigation through a global satellite system
  • Control vehicle on the move through integrated informatics and telecommunications
Key components for automotive telematics
  • GPS tracking device
  • On-board diagnostics interface
  • Wireless mobile port for data transfer
How Automotive Telematics Works?

“The cornerstone for automotive telematics is a vehicle tracking device. It collates coordinates based GPS data including other significant onboard vehicle diagnostics data and transmits the same through wireless mobile data to a centralised server for data interpretation prior to serving a simplified dash friendly variant to an end-user.”

The amount of data collected by a telematics device help attain in-depth information about the vehicle that is being tracked which includes real-time live tracking of the vehicle, geo-fencing zones, vehicle idling times, driver behaviour and tracking involving harsh braking or acceleration, fuel usage, vehicle functions and faults among other things.

This set of data accumulated can be served through fleet management and fleet tracking software via a desktop or a smartphone device through a website or a cloud-based app.
