Vehicle Tracking in London

Many companies whose fleet of vehicles are required to drive in and out of London’s congestion zone could benefit from a vehicle tracking system. Many tracking systems can provide alerts and reporting for entry or exit of the London congestion zone. This not only allows businesses to ensure that vehicles that enter only do so when necessary and that the company does not pick up late payment charges through not being aware that a vehicle has entered.

To monitor the London congestion zone vehicle tracking systems use Geofences. A Geofences is a virtual ‘ring fence’ around a location on a map. Each time a vehicle enters or exits a Geofence the tracking system stores the data for later review or can provide a real time alert notification via email or text message. The Geofences used by tracking suppliers are very accurate to ensure that companies do not pay the charge unnecessarily. Most tracking systems also take into consideration the non-charging zone that runs down the middle of London (Park Lane).

In addition to the congestion zone, tracking systems also allow users to add their own Geofences to monitor addresses of significance to their business, such as employees or customers. In addition to the increased alerting and reporting functionality, Geofences also help tracking users to identify their vehicle’s locations more easily.
