Having real-time GPS tracking is all about having useful information regarding your fleet readily available to you. Not just any data, but data that is timely and accurate. AVLView’s data is refreshed every 5-10 seconds providing each vehicle’s exact position. The display is an easy to use map with arrows showing the route that any chosen vehicle has taken. The screen is auto-refreshed so you can follow your vehicle’s movement hands free. You can also zoom to view a greater detailed map, including street address, along with the current status of your vehicle.
Here are six great reasons to choose Real-time GPS
Be in Charge of Your Fleet
AVLView’s vehicle IN/OUT management solution resolves the problem of unauthorized vehicle usage, irregular driving patterns, and unplanned stops. Easily accessed historical data allows you to create optimized vehicle routes. When implemented together with trip schedule, it allows you to quickly identify possible unauthorized vehicle usage or route deviations.
Ensure Your Vehicles’ and Drivers’ Safety and Security
Real-time GPS makes possible the tracking of your entire fleet. You will know if the vehicle moves beyond boundaries you have defined by setting a geographical perimeter (fence) around the vehicle or work site. Notification alerts are sent to you by SMS, Email, Twitter, or all of these, for any vehicle abnormalities, such as mechanical warnings or failures, and irresponsible or careless driving techniques. Loss can be avoided if you act promptly and Real-time GPS allows for quick action.
Real Time Alert types:
- Speeding Alert – Set a speed limit for your vehicle and receive immediate notifications whenever that speed is exceeded.
- Green Driving Alert – Jackrabbit starts and harsh driving techniques run up your fuel costs.
- Stoppage (Idle) Alert – Receive immediate notifications if your driver stops for longer than a specified time period.
- Fencing Alerts -AVL View draws attention to possible fraud by sending alerts when a vehicle goes outside of work limits, deviates from assigned routes, or skips delivery points.
- Trip Schedule Alert – No more late deliveries. You can now pre-schedule your trips and, if the vehicle violates scheduled times, you receive alerts via cell phone or email.
- Safety and Security – Real-time GPS tracking lets you know where all your assets are at any time. AVLView also ensures their protection by offering anti-theft and safety measures.
Other Alerts
- Periodic service alerts
- Idling alert: for engine idling
- AC alert: AC switched on/off
- Alert on door open/close
- Alert when temperature changes
With Real-time GPS you not only know where your vehicle is but also how it’s being driven. As fuel prices continue to climb, speeding or even idling for long periods will cost you money. Knowing the characteristics of how the vehicle is driven will allow you to reinforce green driving practices based on available data. Review those who indulge in speeding, harsh braking, and heavy acceleration risking driver and vehicle safety.
Know what your drivers are doing, or not doing, at all times. Monitor driver productivity and ensure there are no unauthorized side trips. With trip scheduling, you can route your drivers the most efficient way to delivery destinations.
