The word “telematics” is a blend of the words “telecommunication” and “informatics” and is a technical term for the interplay of communication networks and information technology.
In a traffic and transportation context, telematics means the integration of IT and communications technology systems and components into a system or product. Here, telecommunication refers to the transfer of critical data by GSM, GPRS, UMTS, WLAN, WiMax, or satellite. It supports data capture and processing and presents the data to the user in a suitable form. Nowadays, information is transferred from and to vehicles for many purposes – orientation, toll calculation, and much more. The OPENMATICS platform provides a basis for such interplay and communication of components.
