The term telematics is used in a number of ways:
The integrated use of telecommunications and informatics, also known as ICT
(Information and Communications Technology). More specifically it is the science of sending,
receiving and storing information via telecommunication devices.
More narrowly and commonly, telematics is applied specifically to the use of Global Positioning
System Technology integrated with computers and mobile communications technology.
Optimizing transport routes and times is essential for a logistics company. By the use of online-Tracking of vehicles, it is possible to locate goods in transit, to determine the time of delivery and to arrange the optimal utilization of transport capacity. For these applications we recommend the HCP65X/S65X-IC as hardware platform.
Powering up the heating, open the garage or activate the sprinkler by phone ... no problem. The bus interface of the HCP65X-IC enables you, to control up to 128 devices. You can implement your individual controlling and regulating tasks with a JAVA application for the HCP65X-IC. For these applications we recommend the HCP65X/S65X-GICR as hardware platform.
The monitoring and transmission of medical data (pulse rate, body temperature) to physicians or to a nursing service is subject to telehealth systems. Likewise call services such as nursing service, ambulance service and emergency service can be implemented. The patient is able to stay in family backgrund but with the safety of in-patient stay.
The security telematics distinguishes between mobile and immobile objects. In case of mobile objects, knowing the position can be advandageous. This can take place via GPS- or GSM-locating. An alert can be triggered by moving the object, vibration, emergency button or other user-defined signals. In case of an alert the position and the cause of the alert can send via SMS, speech communication or datagrams. The response to the alert might be implemented with a JAVA application independently from the data transmission. Preferred field of applications are the theft protection of vehicles, boats, machinery and other objects of higher value. For the mobile applications we recommend the HCP65X/S65X-FE as hardware platform. For the immobile applications we recommend the HCP65X/S65X-IRFM as hardware platform.
