Vehicle Telematics

 

 

From time to time a new technology appears that changes the way people communicate and conduct business. GPS Vehicle Tracking Systems evolved from the technology of personal computers, mobile phones, the Internet and the Global Positioning System (GPS). These technologies have been formed to a new technology which is called "vehicle telematics".

 

Business's may use different tracking hardware for a fleet management but it will always use GPS to find out its location and then updates are sent to the tracking hardware at regular intervals or it may be triggered after a certain event such as ignition being turned on or off or even when the engine idles for too long. A common use is also the trigger of speeding which can cost a company large amount of money due to the drivers carelessness. Viewing of the vehicle location is access via a website or your own internal software. Here at F16 consulting we use Google maps to track our vehicle and this makes out telematics solutions one of the best out there. Google maps and Telematics is a match made for one another. Google maps is the most extensive mapping system in the world, not just the UK. It covers more up to date information for roads throughout the UK then any other mapping tool. It even has a "street view" for most areas so you can soon in at street level and see the surrounds of the vehicle being tracked.

 

A general discussion of telematics can cover many areas. The subject focus of F16 consulting is with vehicle telematics, which is defined as "Technology of receiving, sending and storing information via telecommunication devices in conjunction with effecting control on remote objects including vehicles." A main part of many vehicle telematics is Vehicle Tracking.
