The architecture of VTS involves GPRS & GPS integrated devices for identifying the location and transferring data between the vehicle and the web server. VTS unit is installed inside the vehicle (Vehicle unit). The GPS device over the moving vehicle calculates the location, speed, and date and time information. VTS unit process the location data & transmit it via GPRS communication network the web server and from there it is accessed by the call center or the user on his PC or mobile phone. The GPRS again removes the cost of infrastructure and because here we use the existing cellular networks. The transmitted information is sent to a mapping engine that plots the live route of the vehicle on a digital map.

This system is of great value to the fleet managers because it enables them to view real time location of the vehicles by looking at the area map on his PC / mobile phone. A fleet manager may also take control of the fleet through Geo fencing (by demarcating specific geographical area for a vehicle on the computer screen) and if the vehicle violates the defined route, he can have the information. Information retrieved about the actual operation of the fleet is summarized through system generated reports that should help in improving management decisions for cost reduction and increased profitability of the business. <<Back....
