Telematics applications are part of the Internet of Things (IoT), but the speed of transition is not consistent due to the different timing of new technology introduction and development strategies of related system manufacturers in each industry.

With the increasing complexity and number of automotive systems, the demand for high-performance MCUs has been rising, and their market value has grown significantly in recent years; among them, the 32-bit high-end MCUs with the best processing performance are growing the most strongly, especially for various in-vehicle information communication and entertainment systems. solutions.

As computers become smaller and more popular, the scope of communication networks is becoming more and more extensive, allowing data to be efficiently transferred to computers in various locations.

For example, a computer in a moving vehicle can transmit data to a control center in real time via a wireless network system such as a total packet radio service (GPRS / WCDMA / LTE, etc.), or GNSS, so that fleet management purposes can be efficiently achieved or useful data or services can be provided to each vehicles.

The control center can use a set of application software to keep track of each vehicle's fuel inventory, current location, travel speed and other information in real time to manage hundreds or thousands of vehicles at the same time.

From the above description, it is easy to see that fleet management is actually a good application for in-vehicle information communication. An in-vehicle information communication architecture combined by GNSS satellite, GNSS receiver, wireless network system and cloud computing technology will be able to turn into a complete vehicle tracking application, GNSS receiver by satellite to receive the current position information and used to plan the driving route, while the current position information of the vehicle can be transmitted to the control center using wireless network, the control center can use the real-time vehicle position The control center can use the real-time vehicle location information to do route monitoring, work assignment and other work.

In addition, can also use the received vehicle information to do driver behavior analysis, analysis of the driver's usual driving habits, and then by analyzing the results for the driver in the driving route, idle duty, driving safety, traffic accident automatic notification and assistance, fuel management, etc. to do a complete remote control.

From the above application, we can find that the information communication technology applied in the vehicle can make the moving vehicle can still transmit and receive the latest information in real time, also can let the manager in the remote place to achieve the purpose of remote management. As you can imagine, it's like a car to car and a manager to car.
