Vehicle Tracking Systems

Vehicle Tracking Systems

The current worldwide market for Global Positioning Systems (GPS) receiver technology is estimated at more than £1 billion and is expected to grow to more than £15 billion during the next 10 years.

The increasing economic importance of implementing real-time vehicle tracking as part of a commercial company’s mobile resource management policy can now be viewed as essential for comprehensive operational control, remote driver security and fuel savings.

A small GPS tracking unit is fitted into vehicles that capture vehicle activity data including location and timing, automatically and independently of any driver input. The data is remotely transmitted to a central system via the GPRS network.

An advanced vehicle tracking system is a fully modular, scalable, vehicle tracking and management information solution, using real time GPS data, and designed to produce a more effective and profitable management of a mobile service workforce.

Applications of commercial vehicle tracking solutions in the fields of transport, logistics, haulage and multi-drop delivery environments can include optimised fleet utilisation, real-time operational enhancements and dynamically remote-managed fleets.
