Features of Global Positioning Systems (GPS) are as follows:
• Capacity to store data
• Keeps track on vehicles
• Provides systematic information on the location of vehicles on a map
• Generates reports for location and speed analysis
• Availability of mapping features like zoom in, zoom out, full extent and pan
The advantages of GPS fleet management are as follows:
• It decreases overtime of drivers
• It increases drivers’ productivity by giving them proper guidance
• It reduces fuel expenses on a large scale and hence cuts overall expenditure of the company
• It improves customer service with delivery of quick service
• Serves as real time dispatch tool
• It helps in controlling and warning drivers for speeding thereby reducing chances of accidents
• Reduces insurance policy costs by up to 15%
• Enables more accurate billing
A GPS system installed in the vehicle not only identifies its position on a map but also acts as a navigator. The GPS fleet management system has a master unit which receives information like speed, position and so forth from the satellite which tracks vehicle movement. A fleet management system therefore increases the productivity of the fleet and reduces the risk of accidents.
