Global vehicular network diagram template

A conceptual diagram of a global vehicular network describes the principles of communication between vehicles, earth-based nodes, and space-based nodes in a wireless network. It illustrates the concept of architecture within global vehicular networks.
"Intelligent transportation systems (ITS) are advanced applications which, without embodying intelligence as such, aim to provide innovative services relating to different modes of transport and traffic management and enable various users to be better informed and make safer, more coordinated, and 'smarter' use of transport networks.
...
Intelligent transport systems vary in technologies applied, from basic management systems such as car navigation; traffic signal control systems; container management systems; variable message signs; automatic number plate recognition or speed cameras to monitor applications, such as security CCTV systems; and to more advanced applications that integrate live data and feedback from a number of other sources, such as parking guidance and information systems; weather information; bridge deicing systems; and the like."

This global vehicular network diagram sample represents the independent regional telematics network.
"Telematics typically is any integrated use of telecommunications and informatics, also known as ICT (Information and Communications Technology). Hence the application of telematics is with any of the following:
(1) The technology of sending, receiving and storing information via telecommunication devices in conjunction with affecting control on remote objects.
(2) The integrated use of telecommunications and informatics, for application in vehicles and with control of vehicles on the move.
(3) Telematics includes but is not limited to Global Positioning System technology integrated with computers and mobile communications technology in automotive navigation systems. ...
