Vehicle Tracking System - TMVTS

Vehicle Tracking System

Vehicle tracking system is a system that combines the use of vehicle tracking device and tracking software to track real-time vehicle information such as vehicle location, speed and direction along with status (parked or running). Vehicle tracking solution commonly use specialized GPS tracker (often called as vehicle tracker device) that employs Global Positioning System (GPS) for finding location of the device which corresponds to the location of the vehicle. The vehicle location information provided by the vehicle tracking device is transmitted to the tracking software over internet or mobile data connection through GPRS network by installing a GSM sim card in the tracking device. The vehicle tracking software collects vehicle information like status, speed and location; and presents it to the users in a meaningful way such as displaying the location of vehicle in a map with color-coded status. Advanced vehicle tracking system such as Transport Management Vehicle Tracking System (TMVTS) correlates real-time vehicle information with other information available from enterprise software to provide details such as vehicle route and expected time of arrival at destination along with geocoding and geofencing capabilities.

Vehicle Tracking System Types

Vehicle tracking systems can be classified into two broad types as Active and Passive. Active vehicle tracking systems are far more common as the GPS tracking device has a built-in GSM/GPRS module that enables it to publish GPS information to a tracking software or vehicle tracking service over internet to provide near real-time information about the vehicle. Passive vehicle tracking system has a built-in memory to store GPS information but does not have a GSM/GPRS module. Passive GPS tracking device require the stored vehicle information to be retrieved from the tracking device at regular intervals to be imported in the tracking software.

Components of Vehicle Tracking Solution

A vehicle tracking solution has the following two components:-

• GPS Tracking Device or Vehicle Tracking Device

  A GPS tracking device also known as GPS tracking unit or GPS tracker is used for tracking GPS location that is publishes to the vehicle tracking server through GSM or GPRS network by the tracking device.

  A vehicle tracking device or vehicle tracker is a specialized GPS tracking device with ability to collect and publish additional information about vehicle apart from the GPS location such as engine running status (on/off), remaining fuel or mileage.

Frequently asked questions:

What is a Vehicle Tracking Unit?

A vehicle tracking unit is a device that uses the Global Positioning System to determine the precise location of a vehicle, person, or other asset to which it is attached and to record the position of the asset at regular intervals. The recorded location data can be stored within the tracking unit, or it may be transmitted to a central location Server connected to the Internet using a cellular (GPRS or SMS), modem embedded in the unit. This allows the Vehicle's location to be displayed on a map in real time or when analyzing the track later, using GPS tracking software.

What is VTS or Vehicle Tracking System?

Vehicle tracking system (VTS) is a system that combines the use of vehicle tracking device and vehicle tracking software to track real-time vehicle information such as vehicle location, speed and direction along with vehicle status (parked or running). VTS enables users to locate position of vehicle through internet in near real time and remotely monitor their vehicle's condition.
