Independent regional networks diagram

This global vehicular network diagram sample represents the independent regional telematics network.
"Telematics typically is any integrated use of telecommunications and informatics, also known as ICT (Information and Communications Technology). Hence the application of telematics is with any of the following:
(1) The technology of sending, receiving and storing information via telecommunication devices in conjunction with affecting control on remote objects.
(2) The integrated use of telecommunications and informatics, for application in vehicles and with control of vehicles on the move.
(3) Telematics includes but is not limited to Global Positioning System technology integrated with computers and mobile communications technology in automotive navigation systems. ...
Practical applications of vehicle telematics:
1. Vehicle tracking is a way of monitoring the location, movements, status and behaviour of a vehicle or fleet of vehicles. ...
2. Trailer tracking is the technology of tracking the movements and position of an articulated vehicle's trailer unit...
3. Container tracking. Freight containers can be tracked by GPS...
4. Cold store freight trailers ... used to deliver fresh or frozen foods are ... incorporating telematics to gather time-series data on the temperature inside the cargo container...
5. Fleet management includes the management of ships and or motor vehicles such as cars, vans and trucks. Fleet ... Management can include ... vehicle telematics (tracking and diagnostics)...
6. Satellite navigation in the context of vehicle telematics is the technology of using a GPS and electronic mapping tool to enable the driver of a vehicle to locate a position, plan a route and navigate a journey.
7. Mobile data is the use of wireless data communications using radio waves to send and receive real time computer data to, from and between devices used by field based personnel. ...
8. Wireless vehicle safety communications telematics aid in car safety and road safety. ...
9. Emergency warning system for vehicles. Telematics ... are self-orientating open network architecture structures of variable programmable intelligent beacons ... to accord ... warning information with surrounding vehicles in the vicinity of travel, intra-vehicle, and infrastructure. ...
10. Intelligent vehicle technologies. Telematics comprise electronic ... devices ... to provide precision repeatability functions ... emergency warning validation performance reconstruction. ...
11. Car clubs. Telematics-enabled computers allow organizers to track members' usage and bill them on a pay-as-you-drive basis. ...
12. Auto insurance. The basic idea of telematic auto insurance is that a driver's behavior is monitored directly while the person drives and this information is transmitted to an insurance company." [Telematics. Wikipedia]
The example "Independent regional networks diagram" was created using the ConceptDraw PRO diagramming and vector drawing software extended with the Vehicular Networking solution from the Computer and Networks area of ConceptDraw Solution Park.

This vehicular network diagram example was drawn on the base of picture illustrating the article "Automatic Vehicle Location: Rural Transit" from the website of the Research and Innovative Technology Administration (RITA), U.S. Department of Transportation (US DOT).
"Automatic Vehicle Location (AVL) systems calculate the real-time location of any vehicle equipped with a Global Positioning Satellite (GPS) receiver. Data are then transmitted to the transit center with use of radio or cellular communications and can be used immediately for daily operations as well as archived for further analysis.
As a stand-alone technology, an AVL system can be used to monitor on-time performance. When combined with other technologies, AVL can deliver many benefits in the areas of fleet management, service planning, safety and security, traveler information, fare payment, vehicle component monitoring, and data collection. Since the greatest benefits from AVL are achieved by combining it with other Intelligent Transportation System (ITS) technologies, AVL is most appropriate for large rural agencies with more than 30 vehicles that plan to implement a comprehensive ITS."

"Driver assistance systems are meant to support drivers with driving process in order to avoid traffic accidents, speed up the traffic and have a higher control over the traffic in general. There are a lot of systems which give support to the drivers, such as adaptive cruise control, traffic sign recognition, automatic parking, etc. ... the vehicular communication systems ... use the capacity of the vehicles to communicate, not only between them but also with infrastructures. All the information is collected and processed to offer use
ful services. Wireless Sensor Networks (WSN) are widely used in this area. With the incoming upgrades of these networks, they are becoming an attractive solution to give support with the communication mechanisms between vehicles."

"A communications satellite or comsat is an artificial satellite sent to space for the purpose of telecommunications. Modern communications satellites use a variety of orbits including geostationary orbits, Molniya orbits, elliptical orbits and low (polar and non-polar) Earth orbits.
For fixed (point-to-point) services, communications satellites provide a microwave radio relay technology complementary to that of communication cables. They are also used for mobile applications such as communications to ships, vehicles, planes and hand-held terminals, and for TV and radio broadcasting." [Communications satellite. Wikipedia]
