The idea of creating a satellite navigation system appeared at the same time with the launch of the first artificial Earth satellite. The first navigation system was used for the needs of the military-industrial complex. Today, this system is GPS monitoring – used in the civil society control over the movement of objects. This system received the greatest widespread in the field of tracking vehicles.
The satellite monitoring system is so popular that today almost every child knows how it works and why it is needed. GPS equipment installed on a car allows you to control its location in space, speed of movement and even fuel consumption. Is it worth it to equip the equipment with appropriate software and set parameters necessary.
Neither the time of day, nor weather conditions can affect the quality of the signal and, thus, on the accuracy of the information received.
Satellite tracking system operates in online and offline modes. Online mode allows you to control the movement of transport in real time. When using the offline mode, the dispatcher receives information about the route done only at the time of inclusion of the device. This regime does not make it possible to adjust the situation along the way, but there is also a similar system cheaper than its online analogue.
Car hijacking
The use of satellite monitoring systems in the field of vehicles not only allows drivers to better navigate the road and save fuel, but also increases the likelihood of finding a stolen car.
For a large fleet
Large enterprises that have a fleet of vehicles use a satellite tracking system to control the direct use of cars by drivers. It is difficult to track the movements of each car during the day and, therefore, control the fuel consumption. For such purposes, the enterprise organizes the dispatch center, where all the information about the location of the cars is flowing. In case of deviations or emergence of freelance situations, the dispatcher can immediately respond to this and take appropriate measures.
Another positive point in the use of satellite monitoring systems is the tracking of vehicles that carry valuable goods. There are situations when fuel carriers do not proceed to the gas station, but partially merge, extracting personal material benefits from this. In case of identification of such a situation, which is manifested in a deviation from a given route, the dispatcher instantly receives a notification.
Traffic jams are not a hindrance
It is impossible not to note the pluses from the use of GPS monitoring in modern roads, when the density of movement is too high. Based on the satellite data, you can choose the optimal and less loaded movement route, which in some cases plays an extremely significant role, especially when it comes from a fleet of quick response services.
