What is fleet monitoring?
It is a method used to monitor vehicle status, location, and, driver behavior typically using GPS tracking devices. The dispatched vehicles are tracked in real-time, providing vital information to fleet managers that can help them manage their fleet conveniently and securely.
How does it work?
The GPS tracking device will be equipped on every vehicle, it uses a built-in cellular or satellite connection to transmit data to the fleet manager usually through a secured internet server/ cloud from where the fleet manager can access it from a website. Recorded data is usually transmitted every two minutes, but this can be adjusted according to your preferences.
Fleet managers can retrieve information on;
- Vehicle health – such as engine status, fuel consumption, sensor alerts, etc.
- Real-time vehicle location usually displayed on high-resolution maps which can pinpoint where all your vehicles are at any time
