Telematics is the synergy between telecommunications and information technology to contact, track, and monitor remote assets such as fleet vehicles. Telematics software collects and sends data analytics remotely. To achieve this, sensors and connected telematics devices are installed in vehicles to collect and send data. This vehicle telematics data typically includes information about where the vehicle is, how fast it is going, how fast it is accelerating, how fast it is stopping, how well the engine is working, how much fuel it uses, and other important parameters. The data received is sent to a central system or computer, where it is processed and examined.
