GPS Systems Send Transport Fleets Into 21st Century
The newest technology in Sat Nav devices is providing lots of companies with information they previously could only dream about. Sat Navs and GPS tools of old could only let the driver know about their locations, which directions to take and speed etc. This is the kind of data that can now be read on a computer screen on the other side on the globe, making everyone’s job easier. A taxi company or travel company for instance would benefit enormously. Lets look at the main advantages of these GPS systems
Speeding. The velocity of the vehicle has previously just been for eyes of the driver but now the bosses can see too. The intensity of the breaking and acceleration of the vehicle can also be monitored on some models. This helps companies establish who is driving well and within the law, and who maybe needs more driving training
Petrol. Stats released by Jump The Sun show that drivers, especially in the taxi business, would claim petrol money from their employers for miles that were covered whilst not on work hours. The tachometer could always be looked at but this only showed the miles traveled and doesn’t say when and where. However, as information such as mileage, time of travel, and exact route can be mapped, its very hard to get away with claiming more petrol money than needed. They can even pick up traffic reports
Location. Knowing the location of each of your team on the road is invaluable for speeder responses. There is no longer a need to call each and every driver to find their location, you can just look at a computer map and send the nearest vehicle to the location.
