Telematics is defined as the consolidation of information, communication, and technology (ICT) with the help of hardware such as Telematics Control Unit (TCU), sensors, and Global Positioning Systems (GPS) devices for real-time data transmission for multiple services. The Telematics Control Unit (TCU) is a device used for data transfer through a wireless communication medium between vehicles and infrastructure, whether machine to machine, machine to human, or directly to the cloud. The telematics has been widely used in on-highway and off-highway vehicles for data storage and transmission.
