Telematics

The combination of radio communication and applied information technology led to the development of new innovative techniques in the field of the motor business.
A telematics system consists of:

  • Vehicle (cell phone, GPS, vehicle data)
  • Wireless interface
  • Back-office system

As soon the vehicle‘s ignition is activated the “On Board Unit” collects every second the following data:

     Time
     Vehicle position (latitude and longitude)
     Driving direction
     Driving speed

Telematics can start measuring changes in vehicle position about driving direction, distance covered by vehicle, maximum and minimum and current speed of the vehicle during travel and vehicle performance. Optionally the MTU can be connected to the vehicle engine management system to collect additional detailed CANBus/FMS data including ignition status, fuel consumption, gear selection, use of cruise control, throttle position etc. to provide in depth reporting of vehicle operation and driving style.
