There is a telematics expert as well in Indonesia...
but really, it's not just about determining whether an image is original or not, or analyzing video :)
Telematics is the integration of telecommunication and information system... have a look at wikipedia for more information.
So what is "Transport Telematics"? It's the implementation of telematics in transportation sector. The well known synonym for this term is "Intelligent Transport System" (ITS), or some people call it "Vehicle telematics".
The example of transport telematics are Electronic Road Pricing, Emergency and Breakdown System, Intelligent Speed Control System, etc...
We should proud, Singapore as part of Asia is the first country which implements ERP and it has been followed by many countries around the world.
My latest writing is about "Location Based Service" as the backbone of ITS. The characteristics of LBS as a Location-aware Application are aware of:
- where the user is
- when the user using the service
- what is the user using the service for
Those three questions must be addressed by a good LBS application. And hence, it could be a great support for ITS since position and time are very important for transport telematics implementation.
Transportation is indeed a very important system that needs to be well managed to support the economic growth. It becomes the basis of industry society.
Indonesia as developed country could benefit from the implementation of transport telematics. Traffic congestion, speeding, safety are some issues that can be solved by ITS implementation and dependency to human resource such as police officer could be decreased. Well, of course the mentality of the driver needs to be managed as well :)
Abstract
Transportation is an important aspect of economic growth. It becomes the basis of
industrial society. Hence, good transportation management is needed. Intelligent
Transport System (ITS) is a technology to address that issue. Transportation problem
such as traffic congestion, speeding, emergency and breakdown service, traffic
condition, and route and navigation can be solved by ITS. Location Based Service
(LBS) as the basis of transport telematics, plays important role, specially it provides
opportunity to private sector to be able to supports transportation regulator.
