3. Telematics
Telematics is a general term that refers to any device which merges telecommunications and informatics. Telematics includes anything from GPS systems to navigation systems. It is responsible for many features in vehicles from OnStar to hands free mobile calling.
Telematics provides a wide set of tools and services originating from information and communication techniques that allow users to increase operational efficiency, improve service reliability, management of infrastructure and safety, and minimise the impact on the environment and also improve the quality of information services.

4. Telematics
Telematics is used heavily in fleet tracking and management. More and more fleet owners discover huge savings by adopting telematics technology.
An example of how a vehicular network can organise and connect vehicles with each other, is given in the figure.

5. Telematics Practical applications of vehicle telematics:
Vehicle tracking
Trailer tracking
Container tracking
Fleet management
Satellite navigation
Mobile data
Wireless vehicle safety communications
Emergency warning system for vehicles
Intelligent vehicle technologies
Carsharing
Auto insurance

6. Intelligent Transportation System - ITS
The English ITS abbreviation stands for the Intelligent Transportation System.
The ITS system is a tool used by municipal services. This system is equipped with a large computer system which, through the acquisition of data from the traffic controls and measurement devices, and public transport vehicles in Wroclaw, processing in the Traffic Management Centre and Public Transport will make information available to road users, public transport passengers and other institutions.

7. Intelligent Transportation System - ITS
The specific objectives of the ITS project are as follows:
Improvement of traffic in the city
Improving public transport vehicles
Increase in road safety

8. Intelligent Transportation System - ITS
ITS systems include:
traffic management
support for the management of public transport
demand management
information for passengers
vehicle fleet management
incident management and support for emergency services
electronic payment and tolling
advanced technology inside vehicles

9. Wroclaw case study
The city of Wroclaw is the main city of the Wroclaw agglomeration. The city is the fourth in terms of population in Poland with 634,487 inhabitants and fifth largest in terms of area with 293 km2.
The town is intersected by European, national and provincial transportation routes, such as – the A4 motorway, A8 motorway, S5 express road, national road No. 5, national road No. 94, national road No. 98. The interchange of A4 motorway and roads No. 5, No. 35 and No. 98 are located in Bielany Wroclawskie, directly at the southern border of Wroclaw.

Systematically major cultural festivals take place in Wroclaw subborns. In recent years there has been a boom of investment (IBM, LG, Philips, Volvo, Toyota, Siemens, HP, 3M, Whirlpool and many others). It should also be one of the largest academic centers in Poland with the University of Technology and three universities at the forefront.
