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.
