**Summary:** Onboard system capturing vehicle data (speed, hard braking, RPM) via GPS and OBD-II.

- Telematics is the onboard system that combines GPS with OBD-II to capture real-time vehicle data: speed, hard braking, RPM, fuel use, geofences.
- Used in fleets to cut accidents up to 30%, optimize maintenance, and detect unauthorized use.
- Mileage receipts in telematics-equipped fleets generate automatically.
