Vehicle Telematics

So what is Telematics? The Dictionary states that Telematics is the combination of 'telecommunication' and 'informatics'. Telecommunication is derived from the greek word 'tele' meaning far, and the Latin 'communicare' to communicate, to hold in common. Informatics is derived from the Russian 'informatika' meaning the science of information.

In the automotive industry, telematics refers to the provision of two-way voice and data communication between the vehicle and information service providers.

Traffiq views Telematics as a combination of many things including information management, real time two-way communications and a positioning capability.

The Traffiq System utilises a modular design based on Stand-Alone, Internet Based and Satellite Multicasting applications.
