GPS Vehicle Tracking Immobiliser

Many of today’s GPS vehicle tracking solutions are able to provide additional functionality outside of their ‘standard’ tracking services. These optional extras can help businesses to gain further insight into their vehicles operation as well provide greater control over the vehicles themselves.

One of these features is a GPS vehicle tracking immobiliser. These not only increase the security of a vehicle but can also control which drivers are able to operate a vehicle. GPS vehicle tracking immobilisers are often installed alongside driver identification systems.

GPS vehicle tracking immobilisers have proved themselves to be of great value to companies whose business is to hire vehicles and plant machinery. Should an instance occur where a vehicle is not returned within the agreed period or there is any unauthorised usage of the vehicles the hire company is able to immobilise the vehicle remotely using their tracking application. This means that the vehicle cannot be operated until the vehicle hire company has re-mobilised the vehicle which they are also able to do from the tracking system. Vehicles are able to be immobilised or mobilised instantly and should immobilisation be attempted whilst a vehicle is in motion it will not take effect until the engine has been switched off to ensure that the driver’s safety is not put at risk.
