Follow the movements of a large fleet of company cars, trucks, vans and cars, was a logistical nightmare in most cases. In the days before GPS, fleet management does not depend on phone calls to shops, cafes on the street or any other possible way, as they are known, but little reliable system of walkie-talkie that managers who performed a record level to maintain the movement of their car. In most cases, the walkie-talkie systems to be the size ofcontrol centers so that drivers would convey their message to the leaders within the range that another driver who was closest to the control center until the message is finally home. So the command center would send a reply, and the whole process will be repeated in the opposite direction.
If you consider that some of the larger companies that operate fleets of vehicles that run to hundreds, probably think that the control room was ratherhectic and noisy places to be.
However, over the last five years, or that the communications industry is an important step few that has made life infinitely easier. Two important steps, in combination with the same technology that is beginning to be released for general use. The first was on the phone, which means that the Administration may, at any place and at any time is reached. The second was the availability of GPS technology, allowing fleet operators easy access to movementfleet throughout the day and in real time.
This capability is a real solution to monitoring the fleet of vehicles, and reduce the need for command centers to be in contact with leaders of the phone only in emergencies. There are 26 GPS satellites constantly orbiting the planet, each of them to complete a full cycle every 12 hours. Each satellite technology is able to receive and send millions of signals per hour back up to the amount of the contractCenter back to earth. Work in the approved lists, the satellites have a transmission and to correlate these data and a triangulation of signals from three satellites are used to determine the exact location of users has to be calculated. Center can be an update on the movements of every vehicle every minute of every fifteen received, depending on where a high degree of accuracy, the command center was to calculate the movement of each of their vehicle.
This ability to monitor their fleetmovement done wonders for fleet operators to increase efficiency and reduce operating costs. Particularly important given that the Sots fuel have continued to increase and erode operators of the fleet is already overburdened margins.
Yes, what are the main advantages, the real-time GPS technology has allowed fleet managers?
Savings in fuel costs, as managers become aware that their movements aremonitored, are reluctant to deviate from their fixed routes form.
Save time, as managers become aware that their movements are controlled reluctant to make unauthorized stops.
Fuel economy and is wear-tear of commercial vehicles, drivers are less likely to use their vehicles for trips not authorized after hours.
Reducing the risk to human lives and reduce their managerspeed.
Reduction in vehicle theft and criminal code with a clear self adhesive GPS. They know that the vehicle can be easily detected, and even walk, so I went back to steal the hubcaps.
Reduction in insurance premiums, because insurers consider the statistics show that vehicles have GPS systems on board are involved in fewer accidents and are rarely stolen.
Increasesales, as customers realize that deliveries of the company was on time.
Only a few examples of cost savings and increased efficiency of the mules, as provided in the operators fleet of vehicles could be reached, the installation of GPS vehicle tracking systems. No one can deny that the digital revolution that technology GPS was the top, place in a better world for fleet managers did. And certainly more peaceful.
