And <a href=\"https:\/\/www.microlise.com\/au\/fleet-management\/fleet-telematics\/fleet-tracking\/\">for businesses running a fleet of vehicles, real-time tracking is essential<\/a> for modern day fleet management and transport planning.<\/p>\n<p>As you can imagine, finding and tracking vehicles in the early days consisted of a lot of manual labour. From physical logs, radios and stopping off to use a telephone, (remember no hands-free!) drivers would report their positions at set intervals for the planners back at HQ to update their records. So providing estimated times of arrival was somewhat of a guessing game!<\/p>\n<p>Fast forward to the 1990\u2019s and the arrival of GPS for commercial and civilian use. In terms of the transport industry, that\u2019s what you call a game changer.[\/vc_column_text]<div class=\"ult-spacer spacer-69e7bbc75aeb0\" data-id=\"69e7bbc75aeb0\" data-height=\"10\" data-height-mobile=\"10\" data-height-tab=\"10\" data-height-tab-portrait=\"\" data-height-mobile-landscape=\"\" style=\"clear:both;display:block;\"><\/div>[\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_custom_heading text=&#8221;What is vehicle tracking?&#8221; font_container=&#8221;tag:h3|text_align:left|color:%23152644&#8243; use_theme_fonts=&#8221;yes&#8221; css=&#8221;&#8221;][vc_column_text css=&#8221;&#8221;]Using GPS technology and sensors from within the vehicle, it\u2019s possible to find the real-time location of any vehicle, at any time.<\/p>\n<p>Beyond location, we can also access other basic information like speed, route and driving style. For businesses, this means you can track and locate your vehicles and assets whenever you want.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_single_image image=&#8221;43316&#8243; img_size=&#8221;full&#8221; css=&#8221;&#8221;][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_custom_heading text=&#8221;How does vehicle tracking work?&#8221; font_container=&#8221;tag:h3|text_align:left|color:%23152644&#8243; use_theme_fonts=&#8221;yes&#8221; css=&#8221;&#8221;][vc_column_text css=&#8221;&#8221;]At the heart of all vehicle tracking software is GPS.<\/p>\n<p>GPS uses a network of satellites to determine the precise location of a vehicle. These satellites send signals to a GPS tracking device installed in the vehicle, which gives an exact location in relation to Earth\u2019s latitude, longitude and altitude.<\/p>\n<p>But what\u2019s way more interesting than simply locating a vehicle, is the additional information we can harvest using more advanced <a href=\"https:\/\/www.microlise.com\/au\/fleet-management\/fleet-telematics\/\">telematics systems<\/a>.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_custom_heading text=&#8221;What is a vehicle tracking system?&#8221; font_container=&#8221;tag:h3|text_align:left|color:%23152644&#8243; use_theme_fonts=&#8221;yes&#8221; css=&#8221;&#8221;][vc_column_text css=&#8221;&#8221;]A vehicle tracking system is<strong>\u00a0<\/strong>used to view and manage the data collected by these in-vehicle devices. The more information you gather, the smarter your system can become.<\/p>\n<p>Vehicle tracking alone will show where your assets are, but using telematics that plug directly into a vehicle\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sciencedirect.com\/topics\/engineering\/engine-management-system\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">engine management system (EMS)<\/a> will give you access to a world of useful and insightful data. By having visibility of things like speed, braking and acceleration, you can start to understand how a vehicle, or a driver, is performing.<\/p>\n<p>So vehicle tracking systems today, or transport management systems (TMS), go way beyond dots on a map, and offer smarter ways to manage your fleet.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_single_image image=&#8221;43349&#8243; img_size=&#8221;full&#8221; css=&#8221;&#8221;][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_custom_heading text=&#8221;What are the benefits of using a vehicle tracking system?&#8221; font_container=&#8221;tag:h3|text_align:left|color:%23152644&#8243; use_theme_fonts=&#8221;yes&#8221; css=&#8221;&#8221;][vc_column_text css=&#8221;&#8221;]Knowledge is power.
