On the same lines, telematics is combining automotive technology with computer science to create new possibilities in the fleet management sector. By merging GPS systems with onboard diagnostics, telecommunication systems, and other cars on the road, critical information can be shared which will improve fleet management, road traffic, and correct driver behavior. The benefits provided by vehicle telematics is endless. For instance, telematics GPS can send out data to insurance companies about an individual’s driving style or if any risky maneuvers are being performed. Vehicle telematics enables the connected car feature, which uses GPS and sensors in a car to communicate with other cars on the road and provide live weather, traffic, and parking info on the dashboard. Commercial telematics can be used by fleet management, insurance, automotive, utilities, and transportation companies.
