Telematiikkayksiköt

Telematiikkayksiköt, often referred to as telematics units, are electronic devices that combine telecommunications and informatics. These units are designed to collect, store, transmit, and process data related to vehicles and their operation. The primary function of a telematic unit is to enable remote monitoring and management of assets, most commonly vehicles in fleets.

These devices typically connect to a vehicle's onboard diagnostics (OBD) port or other sensors to gather information such as speed, location (via GPS), engine status, fuel consumption, driver behavior (like harsh braking or acceleration), and diagnostic trouble codes. This data is then transmitted wirelessly, often using cellular or satellite networks, to a central server or cloud platform.

The processed data can be accessed by fleet managers or other authorized personnel through web-based applications or mobile software. This allows for a wide range of applications, including real-time vehicle tracking, route optimization, fuel management, driver safety monitoring, predictive maintenance, and theft recovery. Telematic units play a crucial role in improving operational efficiency, reducing costs, and enhancing safety in various industries, including logistics, transportation, and public services.
