A telematics platform for mobility

Learn about use cases, the most innovative components, the importance of sensors, and how a smart mobility platform handles Big Data and integrations with enterprise systems.
It is difficult to establish with certainty what the first mobility platform was, as it depends on the definition of "mobility platform" and the context in which it is used. However, one of the earliest known mobility platforms is London's public surface transportation system, known as the London Underground, which opened in 1863. This system used a network of steam trains to transport people through the city of London.

Over the years, mobility platform technology has evolved, and today there are different types of mobility platforms, such as car sharing platforms, ride sharing platforms or bike sharing platforms, or Enterprise fleet management platforms.

A telematics mobility platform is a software system for collecting, processing, and transmitting mobility-related data over a communication network, such as the Internet. Telematics platforms for mobility can be used in many ways, such as for:

What are the components of an innovative telematics platform for mobility

The components of a telematics platform for mobility can vary depending on the specific needs of the company or industry in which it is used. In general, however, a telematics platform for mobility can consist of the following components:

  • Sensors: sensors are devices that collect data on location, speed, fuel consumption or other vehicle-related information.
  • GPS: GPS (Global Positioning System) is a location system that allows the location of a vehicle to be determined with a certain accuracy.
  • Modem: modem is a device that allows data collected by sensors or GPS to be transmitted over a communication network, such as the Internet.
  • Core Server: core server is a system that hosts a telematics platform and processes data collected from sensors or GPS.
  • Database: a data storage system for storing and managing data collected from sensors or GPS. Due to the large amount to be managed, it is referred to as Big Data.
  • Machine Learning component: an aid from Artificial Intelligence for path predictions, event analysis etc.
  • User Interface: the user interface is the system through which users can access the telematics platform and use the offered functionalities (Mobile App, dedicated websites etc).
