VEHICLE TRACKING
A vehicle tracking system combines the use of automatic vehicle location in individual vehicles with software that collects these fleet data for a comprehensive picture of vehicle locations.
Modern vehicle tracking systems commonly use GPS or GLONASS technology for locating the vehicle, but other types of automatic vehicle location technology can also be used. Vehicle information can be viewed on electronic maps via the Internet or specialized software.
What are the Benefits of GPS Tracking?
GPS tracking will offer various advantages based on what kind of GPS system is used, the capabilities of the GPS software, and what the solution is used for. Common benefits of GPS tracking include:
Improved Maintenance Scheduling
Using GPS tracking devices with remote diagnostics helps fleet managers identify which vehicles need preventative maintenance so that small fixes can be applied before they become a larger, more expensive problem.
Reduced Theft Risk
High-cost assets are a tempting target for thieves. GPS tracking allows users to collect recent GPS location data and relay it to authorities, greatly increasing the odds of recovering stolen assets intact and returning them to service.
Reduced Fuel Consumption
GPS tracking helps fleet managers reduce wasteful driving behaviors and unauthorized vehicle use, reducing fuel consumption.
Increased Driver Accountability
This help fleet managers and owners to prevent the would be accident due to bad behavior on driver. GPS tracking provides an impartial, verifiable record of driving activities and behaviors. This enhances driver accountability, and allows fleet managers to more accurately track driver adherence to organization guidelines for driving safety, schedule adherence, and more.
