Copious amounts of gps tracking data is collected from your cars and trucks every day. The value of that data is largely dependent on the tools provided to make sense of the data. This is an area that Tracker Systems has spent a lot of time and energy. To get our Fleet Management Software right, we've talked to our customers to understand what they do, what they want to see and we've put together a uite of tools to answer their most pressing needs. What we provide is a set of analysis tools are a combination of alerts, reports, and route playback widgets. Here is just a sampling.
Geo Fences, geo what? What's a Geo Fence, man? That is a fancy name for a virtual boundary around a geographic area, like a job site, home. office, warehouse, or even an entire city. Geo Fences will alert you when one of your trucks enter the area, leave the area, or both. You can have many of them on the real-time GPS tracking system, even geo fences within geo fences. Alerts can be emailed to get instant notification that one of the geo fences were triggered. There are two types of reports showing summary and detailed history.
IFTA is an agreement between US States and some Canadian provinces that allows members (truck owners) to coordinate all their fuel tax and tax filing responsibilities with their base jurisdiction rather than each jurisdiction where they operate. This coordination applies to fuel taxes only and does not cover road taxes, weight taxes or similar taxes.
We’re excited to announce this all new 3G GPS Tracker. It joins our plug and play OBD-II tracker family. It simply plugs into the vehicle’s diagnostic port. It sends to our servers location data and vehicle diagnostics data using a 3G cellular network. And, its selling at a great price.
There are various factors that go into choosing a GPS Tracker for a Car or Light Truck. Examining these factors is the first step to choosing the proper hardware to meet your needs. Having a full grasp on your requirements makes it easier to sift through all the different hardware out on the market and in our store. Additionally, reviewing how you use the different vehicles in your fleet, may make it clear that different vehicles may need different hardware. This guide is designed to help in choosing a car or truck tracking device.
We’re excited to let folks know that our App has been accepted into both the iOS iTunes store and the Android store. The downloads are easily available through each store by searching for TrackerSystems. These links will also help: TrackerSystems on iTunes and Tracker Systems on Google Play.
Now that we’ve passed the first step of being accepted into the store, we have a list of features to add and a pretty aggressive schedule to get them in and up to the stores. We’re excited to say the least.
The current feature set is focused on accessing the fleet’s status. The mobile apps have been optimized for small devices, weaker data networks and all the challenges of seeing details on a phone. We give a detailed list of fleet status including last alerts, current ignition state and similar ‘want to know now’ details. The app also includes on map details like fleet location and unit trails. We’ve also included all of our reports.
If you’re interested in fleet information when you’re on the go, but not so interested in installing another app, all the same information is available from our mobile website: mytracker.mobi
Of all industries, the trucking industry probably benefits the most from the technologies of GPS Truck Tracking. Send trucks out to distance places and keep track of them. A match made in heaven. But really, who wants to sit and watch a truck on a computer terminal for hours, if not days. The question then, is how to use the tools in the fleet management system effectively. And of all the tools available, which ones do the trick and should be focused on.
The focus of this post is on one system function that can get you away from computer monitor and back doing the things that help your business grown. Which feature is this? Geofences!
Monitoring Driver Behavior: SPEEDING, IDLING, RAPID ACCELERATION, AND HARD BRAKING
The real risk to business owners with deployed fleets is driver behavior. Within driver behavior, there are many facets. Are the drivers speeding or driving erratically? Are they burning fuel with long idle stops? Jack Rabbit starts? Rapid braking? For the business owner, this translates to wasted fuel, dings on their reputation and in the very, very worst case, accidents that damage the owner’s livelihood. By monitoring driver behavior with GPS tracking the risk can be mitigated.
Let's look at the "Big 4" factors in what we in the GPS tracking business call driver behavior.
A question often comes up with our customers about how to best protect their fleet. For a fleet of vans or cars the response is rather simple, protect each. When it comes to trailered equipment, like mowers, chippers and similar, the options seemingly begin to expand. Our recommendation is to take a tiered strategy to security. One trailer, one truck, several mowers cover them all. But, the first reaction is that it could get expensive. Is that expense worth it? And how to justify it? yes, its our belief that is is worth it and that there are several benefits of full coverage that make the whole package make a lot of sense. This article will look into some of the trade-offs and justifications to mower tracking.
In a picture perfect GPS Satellite launch, against a beautiful blue sky, the United Launch Alliance launched the latest GPS IIF-8 Satellite into orbit on October 29. The satellite, built by Boeing, was launched into orbit for the US Air Force, from Cape Canaveral Florida.
The gps satellite will be tested and then placed into operation by December. This is the 8th satellite built by Boeing. Four more are built or being built and will be pressed into service by early 2016. The next GPS Satellite launch is planned for early spring. Lockheed Martin is under contract to build the next generation of satellites.
The satellite was launched by an Atlas V rocket. The satellite was launched into an orbit 11,000 miles up. There are more than 31 satellites in the GPS constellation.
