Telematic devices are limited by their memory storage, CPU processing, and data transmission capabilities. Improvements in these telematic components are required to handle to the increase in the computational demands of resource heavy applications [3]. Increases in the computational capabilities of the telematic device can contribute additional costs to insurers or users of the device [4; 5] The aforementioned technical constraints can further impact the operability of fuel reduction techniques and battery State of Health (SOH) and State of Charge (SOC) systems used in EVs. Telematic devices typically monitor acceleration/deceleration, turning force of the vehicle, velocity, and GPS data. Information provided from these devices can be used to assess driver behavior and vehicle performance. Telematic devices are typically installed in vehicles either through black box style installations, embedded systems or through smartphone devices [6; 7]. Compared with installed or embedded systems, smartphone devices suffer from sensor precision issues due to their unintended usage as telematic recorders [8]. Telematic devices currently produce 5-15 MB annually, depending on frequency of trips made by the driver [9] These devices are also capable of transmitting the data they record from the vehicle, sending information from the vehicle for usage of high-level applications [10]. Applications that use telematic data can assist in domains such as safety features and services, entertainment services, fuel efficiency, and traffic management systems [11; 12]. The potential safety features provided by telematic devices are evident in EU white paper discussions [1; 13; 14] (European Commission 2016; European Parliament 2018; European Data Protection Board 2020). In the EU 92% of recorded traffic accidents within the last decade are due to driver error [14]. Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS) can mitigate driver error, as limitations in human perception can be reduced through these automated features. To reduce driver error and improve overall road safety, the EU is introducing regulation requiring the installation of black box recorders, ADAS systems (in particular: intelligent speed assistance, driver drowsiness, attention warning, and advanced driver distraction warning) and type pressure monitoring [15]. Safety features using telematics data range from vehicle warning systems to real time traffic and cooperative driving techniques. ADAS enabled vehicles can reduce driver error and improve safety by monitoring driver behaviors and environmental conditions [16]. Connected safety features using telematics data can propagate relevant vehicle metrics to a neighborhood of vehicles [17; 18]. Telematics data can be used to alert drivers of nearby vehicle movement intentions and other potential dangers in connected collision warning systems [19]. In-vehicle infotainment describes a supply of services which provide a driver with a range of multi-media, navigation, or networking capabilities. As the transition from manual to autonomous driving progresses, infotainment services will become inclusive to the driving experience. Infotainment services will be provided in a similar fashion to mobile or Internet Service Provider (ISP) packages [20]. Services or applications will be either embedded, tethered, or integrated into the connected vehicle [21]. Drivers can expect a multitude of entertainment services which include games, music streaming videos, weather, navigation, etc.
