The cost of modern freight vehicles, as well as the commercial cargo they carry, is significant even for large transport companies. Simultaneously:
- Strict conditions for the car delivery schedule for loading (unloading).
- The need to draw up optimal transportation routes (especially when delivering groupage cargo from various loading or unloading addresses).
- Reliable information about the location and time of arrival of the cargo, provided to its owner or consignee.
They demand more efficient (in comparison with cellular communication, which does not always work well outside of large cities) control options and is rightfully recognized as the most practical vehicle monitoring system using satellite or GPS navigation.
Monitoring system capabilities
Unlike the simplest GPS programs for online vehicle tracking, which are installed on a Smartphone, the monitoring system has a whole range of additional options. They are especially necessary for the owner (owner) of a commercial vehicle driven by a hired driver. The main ones include:
- Sending notifications (e-mail or SMS messages) about the passage of certain geofences by transport, violation of the speed limit, deviation from the established mode.
- Possibility of building a graph of the dependence of the speed of movement of transport depending on the time of day (to accurately determine the time of delivery of the cargo).
- Obtaining a report on the operation of the main vehicle units (for example, the coolant temperature at one time or in a graph for a certain period of the trip).
There is such an important indicator for the vehicle owner as the remaining fuel and the average fuel consumption, which may vary depending on weather conditions or the degree of vehicle utilization.
