Telematics
Telematics is one of the areas in which we have been involved as a partner in the ground-breaking Traffimatics project.
Traffimatics is a collaborative project with Nottingham Trent University, Shadow Creek Consulting and Influx Technology.
Traffimatics is part of the Next Wave Technologies and Markets, a DTI sponsored programme.
The Traffimatics project aims to investigate the possibilities for using vehicles to create a large-scale self-organising sensor and communications network enabling travel, traffic, safety and entertainment applications.
To achieve its objectives Traffimatics will develop a telematics platform that:
- Is cost effective
- Integrates seamlessly with other (ubiquitous) computing environments
- Adds value to the telematics end-user
- Is self-managing requiring no driver involvement
- Will easily evolve with technology and end-user demand
- Will provide improved traffic and road monitoring
