GPS Based Vehicle Tracking

Tracking solutions have been available for some years now and many companies were early adopters of the technology. There have been various methods of tracking over the years including GPRS/GSM (Cell ID) which uses the mobile phone network, the problem with these systems was that the accuracy was unreliable and could range between 10 metres to a kilometre depending on the quality of the signal. GPS based vehicle tracking systems have put an end to these inconsistent accuracy issues and provides users with accuracy levels of between 3 – 20 metres.

GPS based vehicle tracking systems have been available for some years now and have proved themselves to be an essential solution to many of the UK’s companies that operate a fleet of vehicles. These systems provide companies with benefits including reductions in fleet operating costs, increased driver productivity and vehicle security. Many businesses install these systems to reduce their monthly fuel bills and improve the overall efficiency of their fleet.

The price of GPS based vehicle tracking systems has come down substantially in recent years. This has led to tracking becoming affordable to even the smallest of companies. In addition, businesses that only run 1 or 2 vehicles are still able to achieve a worthwhile return their investment.
