GPS Vehicle Tracking – An Introduction

If you have a big logistics company managing a large fleet of vehicles for transporting goods then you should certainly try out a reliable and advanced transportation management systems. One of the advanced features of such vehicle routing software is the GPS (Global Positioning System) vehicle tracking system. The GPS fleet tracking helps you to keep track of your vehicles and ensures secure, safe and faster delivery of your transportation goods.

The Global Positioning System was first implemented at the Pentagon in 1973 and the first operational GPS satellite was launched in 1978. By the 90s the system more functional with 24 orbiting satellites transmitting radio signals.   This opened way for yet another digital revolution and more and more applications started using GPS systems.

In a  GPS vehicle tracking system, a GPS receiver is  installed on to a vehicle and the GPS receiver send out information to a back office. It provides information about its location and helps the fleet owners to locate their vehicles and plan accordingly.

The GPS fleet tracking system that is installed on a vehicle sends out the exact information regarding the latitude, longitude and altitude and this helps the fleet owners to get an exact idea about the position of the vehicles.

A basic freight management systems provides vital information such as route, location and vehicle speed. This will help the fleet owners to keep track of the travel records and time taken to complete each route. An advanced GPS vehicle tracking solution is  also used by big logistic companies to manage complex information and for this they need to have an advanced vehicle tracking system.

An advanced GPS vehicle tracking helps to get data related to a large group of vehicles, digital and satellite maps etc. Advanced reporting is also offered by these system and this can be used as a  good business intelligence system and help in the overall performance of the system.

This is an effective vehicle scheduling software and can yield you better results by providing effective information on  a regular basis. You could easily make your customers happy as you would be able to deliver them the goods at the promised time or date.  Vehicle tracking through GPS system also ensures safety to your vehicles as you would be able to track the exact position of your vehicles in case of theft.

This can also lead to overall business enhancement as you would be able to bill your customers accurately and thereby ensure profit margins. The efficiency of your vehicle drivers can also be determined by analyzing the speed of the vehicles and the routes covered.  GPS vehicle tracking can also help you to reduce your unwanted expenses such as communication costs required to contact the vehicle drivers to know about their location.

In short,  the GPS vehicle tracking  is an advanced shipping management system which leads to an increased ROI in less time, provided it is carried out in the proper way.

Aus Wikipedia. Nicht dargestellt. Auszug: The Decca Navigator System was a hyperbolic low frequency radio navigation system (also known as multilateration) that was first deployed during World War II when the Allied forces needed a system which could be used to achieve accurate landings. As was the case with Loran C, its primary use was for ship navigation in coastal waters. Fishing vessels were major post-war users, but it was also used on aircraft, including a very early (1949) application of moving-map displays. The system was deployed extensively in the North Sea and was used by helicopters operating to oil platforms. After being shut down in the spring of 2000, it has been superseded by systems such as the American GPS and the planned European GALILEO positioning system. It was deployed in the United Kingdom after World War II and later used in many areas around the world. Decca employees used to joke that DECCA was an acronym for Dedicated Englishmen Causing Chaos Abroad. The Decca Navigator principle.The phase difference between the signals received from stations A (Master) and B (Slave) is constant along each hyperbolic curve. The foci of the hyperbola are at the transmitting stations, A and B.The Decca Navigator System consisted of a number of land-based stations organised into chains. Each chain consisted of a Master station and three (occasionally two) Slave stations, termed Red, Green and Purple. Ideally, the Slaves would be positioned at the vertices of an equilateral triangle with the Master at the centre. The baseline length, i.e. the Master-Slave distance, was typically 60~120 nautical miles. Each station transmitted a continuous wave signal that, by comparing the phase difference of the

Ground-based Wireless Positioning $120 Ground Based Wireless Positioning provides an in-depth treatment of non-GPS based wireless positioning techniques, with a balance between theory and engineering practice. The book presents the architecture, design and testing of a variety of wireless positioning systems based on the time-of-arrival, signal strength, and angle-of-arrival measurements. These techniques are essential for developing accurate wireless positioning systems which can operate reliably in both indoor and outdoor environments where the Global Positioning System (GPS) proves to be inadequate. The book covers a wide range of issues including radio propagation, parameter identification, statistical signal processing, optimization, and localization in large and multi-hop networks. A comprehensive study on the state-of-the-art techniques and methodologies in wireless positioning and tracking is provided, including anchor-based and anchor-free localisation in wireless sensor networks (WSN). The authors address real world issues such as multipath, non-line-of-sight (NLOS) propagation, accuracy limitations and measurement errors.Presenting the latest advances in the field, Ground Based Wireless Positioning is one of the first books to cover non-GPS based technologies for wireless positioning. It serves as an indispensable reference for researchers and engineers specialising in the fields of localization and tracking, and wireless sensor networks.Provides a comprehensive treatment of methodologies and algorithms for positioning and tracking  Includes practical issues and case studies in designing real wireless positioning systemsExplains non-line-of-sight (NLOS) radio propagation and NLOS mitigation techniques  Balances solid theory with engineering practice of non-GPS wireless systems
