The Vehicle Tracking System allows tracking of vehicles in real time. This system is ideal for owners of fleets of trucks or buses who would like to keep track of vehicle location. It is an aid to Logistics & supply chain management and increases the efficiency of warehouse management systems. It allows vehicle owners to keep tabs on their vehicles and goods and also acts as a deterrent to drivers engaging in untoward activities. ... The solution is based on GPRS, GSM and Internet technologies. The GPRS receiver captures position data from the satellites, computes the position of the vehicle and sends this information to a central base station, using SMS. This information is collected by the web-server at the base station. The location of a vehicle can be viewed by logging into the base station. As this server is on the internet, it can be accessed from anywhere and at any time. It is a versatile and cost effective solution. ...The basic unit can be customized to provide enhanced functionality at an additional cost. For example, we can customize the transmitter so that the driver can also send messages back to the base station. The standard equipment does not have this feature. Other features that can be added are vehicle diagnostics e.g. monitoring vehicle speed and fuel consumption, and in-vehicle temperature etc. ...An off-line system calls a Data-logger , is also available. This version does not use SMS, but stores data from the GPS for re-play when the vehicle returns to base.
