A Telematics Service System for Vehicle Safety Based on Vehicular Data Acquisition Module

Traffic accidents and vehicle safety problems were more and more severe with the sustained growth of automotive production. A telematics service system is presented in this paper for the improvement of vehicle safety. The vehicle operating parameters were monitored continuously by the vehicular data acquisition module, which communicated with the remote service center using the 3G network. Drivers were alarmed when the invisible faults were detected or the maintenance was periodically needed. After a serious collision, the rescue time would be minimized using the accurate positioning on the GIS map. The prototype of the system was implemented and the basic functions were successfully verified by the experiment. In addition, the telematics service system not only improved the vehicle safety, but also enhanced the quality of aftersales service by expanding the system.
