GPS Fleet Tracking Features

What kind of features do the GPS Fleet Tracking systems have? Here is a summary and examples of how you could use data provided by GPS Fleet Tracking systems:

 

Location Data:

• Latitude and longitude provided in degrees, minutes and seconds. Accurate to 33 feet, which is as accurate as any commercial GPS tracking device.
• Location updates at intervals of 2 - 15 minutes. The standard update interval varies between manufacturers or can be set by the owner (optional).
• Fleet Tracking lets you see where all your employees are by checking the map. Which member of your fleet is closest to the customer that just called?
• Save time and money with a central management system that lets you track all your assets.

Speed Calculation:

• Rate of movement in miles per hour. 
• Get e-mail alerts if movements exceed a preset speed (standard) or owner-set speed (optional).
• Get speed alerts. Save money on gasoline and car wear with Fleet Tracking solutions.

Present Direction:

• Directional compass- find out where the vehicle is traveling including: north, south, east or west.
• Is employee 'X' en route to the customer or going off track?

Geofence Use:

• A 'virtual' geographic boundary, created by the owner. Crossing this boundary triggers an alert which is sent to the owner. The alerts are usually e-mail messages or automated telephone calls from the system to the user, including the vehicle identification, date/time of crossing, location of crossing and more, depending upon the system.
• Geofence can be 1/4 mile to 20+ miles in diameter.
• Is a delivery truck approaching the warehouse? Is the gate open?

Alerts:

• Automatic e-mail alert sent to the owner with the date, time, location, identification and other details relevant to the alert. Alerts are triggered when a vehicle exceeds a preset speed, crosses a Geofence boundary, and more.
• Get e-mail alerts on your phone - e-mail alerts can be sent to your Blackberry or portable device. You can monitor your company while out of the office or away from your desk.

Fastest Speed Report:

• A daily report of each vehicle's fastest speed.
• Why was employee 'Y' driving 80 m.p.h.?

Historical Data:

• A record of all data related to each vehicle in your fleet, maintained for 90 days.
• Which vehicles averaged the most miles driven each day? Export vehicle data to an Excel Worksheet to compare productivity between employees.
• Car details - find out if the ignition is on or off.
• Time, date and location of each instance where a vehicle's ignition was turned on or off.
• Is the employee on track or wasting time in a restaurant 20 miles off course?

Idle Report:

• Time, date, location and duration of each instance where a vehicle remained motionless while the engine was running. Owner can adjust the duration of idle allowed before a report is generated.
• Idling the engine wastes fuel and causes unnecessary wear. Employee 'Z's vehicle idled twice as long as employee 'Y's vehicle; perhaps employee 'Z' should shut off his vehicle's engine when making deliveries.

Accumulated Mileage Alert:

• An alert sent at 3,000 miles, 5,000 miles or at an owner-set interval (optional) as a reminder to perform preventative maintenance.
• E-mail alerts - time to have the oil changed on vehicle 'A'.

Location on Demand:

• Locate and display location info when requested, regardless of when the last scheduled update occurred.
• Where is employee 'Y'? I need to find him right now!

Map Detail:

• Street map w/ vehicle's location, which the owner can enlarge or reduce to see more or less map detail.
• Employee 'A' says Main Street is closed for construction, what is the next street West?

Landmarks:

• Reference points which may or may not be visible on the map created to designate locations important to the system user. Landmarks could be customer locations, the user's shop, warehouse, satellite offices, etc.
• Who has been to the warehouse today?

Breadcrumbs Trail:

• When requested by the owner, a trail of visited locations can be displayed on the map, indicating a vehicle's route during a certain time period.
• Do routes overlap between vehicle 'A' and vehicle 'B'?
