At the moment, it is essential that fleet managers are aware not only of the exact movement and location of their fleets but also their drivers. Driver management is a highly important and necessary ingredient in mobile asset or vehicular management.

The road to successful introduction of vehicular communications has to pass successfully through the analysis of potential security threats and the outcome of this should be the design of robust security architecture able to cope with these threats.

Accident management is one of the most fundamental ingredients of a good vehicle management system. Any organization whose business mainly involves or depends upon mobile assets should ensure that there is awareness about good accident management techniques amongst its drivers.

Advanced and integrated driver assistance systems have the potential to increase safety on roads and adherence to traffic regulations. Integrated vehicle based safety systems is an initiative to fully integrate individual solutions by combining research results, state – of – the – art commercial products and system integration in order to equip all vehicles with advanced driver assistance systems.

Vehicular communication networks provide a wide range of applications possessing multi – faceted characteristics. The main purpose of these applications is of course vehicular safety. Many of the institutions involved in intelligent transportation systems have their own set of clarifications and applications.

Vehicular communication systems are a very popular, emerging category of networks in which vehicles and roadside units communicate and provide information including safety warnings and traffic information. This integrated approach can directly result in increasing the effectiveness of communication systems as they help a great deal in avoiding accidents and traffic congestions.

Intelligent Transportation Systems encompass a broad range of wireless and communication based information and electronic technologies.

Intelligent transportation systems (ITS) basically refer to transportation systems which use emerging and existent hard and soft system technologies to acknowledge and address transportation congestion issues. They encompass a broad range of wireless and communication based information and electronic technologies.

Vehicle theft has been a common enough phenomenon from time immemorial. With the advancements in technology, vehicle thieves have also become savvy enough to bypass the security measures installed in a vehicle.

There is a large amount of diversity in the identification of transportation conveyances. While on one hand, a large number of transportation equipment has no identification beyond serial numbers and perhaps, barcode labels, the actual occurrence of identification remains very rare.
