Telematics is the merging of two sciences, telecomms. This branch of technology includes phone lines and cables and informatics, which includes computer systems. Telematics is commonly applied to the Telematics-related solutions used in commercial fleet vehicles.
WHG states that wireless telematics devices, in addition to "black box" technology, gather and transmit information about vehicle use, maintenance needs and maintenance. An increasingly popular choice for modern companies is to use the software that manages fleets, which is a branch of asset tracking telematic technologies that allows you to manage the fleet of vehicles they manage and get a complete view of the health, profitability and productivity of their entire fleet.
What is telematics?
The basic australia vehicle telematics system is vehicle tracking inside a vehicle, which allows the sending, receiving and storage of telemetry information. It connects via the vehicle's own onboard diagnostics (ODBII) or the CAN-BUS port, which is connected to an SIM card and an onboard modem. enables communication through a wireless network.
The device captures GPS information as in addition to other information specific to vehicles and transmits it through GPRS (General Packet Radio Service), 4G mobile data , and satellite communications or cellular networks to a central server. The server interprets and permits the information to be displayed for users on secure websites or applications which are designed to work with tablets and smartphones.
The telematics information gathered can include location, speed of idling, severe acceleration or stopping, car faults, fuel consumption and much more. If analyzed for specific patterns and events the data can give detailed insights for the entire fleet.
How can telematics devices be installed?
Modern commercial vehicle manufacturers typically install embedded GPS tracking as well as other telematics technologies directly in their fleet vehicles. If the vehicle doesn't come with this technology pre-installed an aftermarket GPS devices are available for installation. They can be powered by batteries or the vehicle's own electrical system.
Volvo, Mack Hino, Ford and Hino are only a few OEMs that have partnered with telematics that provides seamless user experiences. It is expected that smart automobiles will continue to be developed by the auto industry using telematics to provide more efficient results for customers in the near future. These systems will also capitalize on the growing Internet of Things (IoT) landscape that can help connect automobiles to cities and intelligent traffic technologies.
What can my fleet do to make use of the telematics system?
Telematics solutions are compatible with existing systems and software to allow a variety of possibilities for fleets of all sizes that include:
Vehicle tracking: You are able to track vehicles using a combination GPS receivers and satellites as well as GPRS networks cloud computing, cloud computing and cloud computing. A GPS receiver downloads data from GPS satellites and processes it to be used in applications such as driver GPS navigation systems. The receiver also transmits the information via GPRS over the internet to office staff. This lets them dispatch the closest driver to a new position.
Asset and trailer tracking Fleets are able to attach GPS trackers to trailers and other non-motorized assets in order to make sure they aren't lost or get lost. They can also make use of them to guide drivers directly to stationary trailers. Drivers are able to easily mark locations of trailers using their GPS units while they are unhooking them. The coordinates will be transmitted easily to allow them to direct the trailer. The system can be set up to send an immediate alert to the manager's cell phone in the event that an asset, such as a trailer, is relocated without authorization.
Maintenance improvements: Vehicle maintenance and management of asset lifecycles can be improved by using fleet telematics to monitor hours-of-use records and schedule preventative maintenance as well as assist in keeping track of warranty recovery, tracking engine hours and service record tracking. Fleet managers can decrease expenses and ensure that vehicles are in good operating condition by keeping in the know about engine diagnostics, including battery voltage, temperature of coolant, powertrain malfunctions, intake valve issues, oxygen sensor problems and much more.
