Fleet vehicle tracking is a process in which GPS devices are used to monitor the activity of a Fleet vehicle tracking and the people that drive them. A fleet is generally considered a collection of land-based vehicles or assets such as cars, trucks, equipment or teams of workers.
Tracking uses GPS technology in a process known as telematics which refers to technology that is used to collect a range of data from vehicles and other assets; this can include location, speed, idle time and various parameters associated with a vehicles mechanical performance. This is used by fleet managers to make strategic decisions about the most efficient deployment of fleet assets and to help improve efficiency and fuel use. It can help improve driving habits, reduce fuel costs, improve location and dispatching of assets and help with maintenance by responding to diagnostic information provided by vehicles.
