Solution

The correct option is D (b) and (c)

The word telematics is a combination of Telecommunication and Informatics.

Telematics is a method of monitoring a vehicle. By combining a GPS system with on-board diagnostics it's possible to record – and map – exactly where a car is and how fast it's traveling, and cross reference that with how a car is behaving internally.

A telematics system also pinpoints the car's location using GPS. ... Most telematics systems offer stolen-vehicle assistance, such as locating a vehicle using GPS. OnStar can also keep the vehicle from starting once the engine is turned off and gradually slow the vehicle if police are pursuing it.

A Fleet Telematics System (FTS) allows the information exchange between a commercial vehicle fleet and their central authority, i.e., the dispatching office. A FTS typically consists of mobile Vehicle Systems (VS) and a stationary Fleet Communication System (FCS).
