Features of Vehicle Tracking System


Features of Vehicle Tracking System:
It seems you are planning to get a vehicle tracking system installed in your vehicle for your business but you are very much confused with, or finding difficulty in the features given by vehicle tracking systems and the primary benefits they provide.
In this Blog I'm just going to cover some of the most common tracking features and benefits the vehicle tracking system offer.
Live Mapping Facility:
It Provides live mapping facility with real time locations o
f vehicles against a road or google map of the area they are moving, many vehicle tracking systems allow the customers to zoom in and zoom out the map to locate,manage a vehicles specific location or to view the entire number of vehicles in a given vicinity. All the live mapping facility features automatically refreshing of the screen every time an vehicle sends a data update making sure the vehicle’s position that is digitally displayed is currently up to date and accurate. It is one of the most important vehicle tracking system feature which should be available because it helps the customers to have a live tracking option of their vehicles.
Reports availability:
Reports are the main area where a fleet management company concentrates.
The fleet management companies expect to have reports on distance traveled by their vehicle,Route deviations taken by their vehicle,Productivity reports based on the distance traveled,Daily trip reports,Driver over speeding reports,etc.
So these are the major reports a customer will expect before choosing a vehicle tracking system.
Live/Real Time Alerts:
The fleet management people may not find time to check the faults of their driver's all the time so they expect alert facility (either a ring alert or an SMS alert to their mobile)when their vehicle is stationary more than the pre-defined time,when the vehicle enters an unwanted location,when the vehicle is stolen,When the vehicle enters or exits their office premises,Drivers rash driving etc.
Battery status alert:
Some of the vehicle tracking system are cost effective since it runs on the mobile with an app installed so the status of the battery level has to be checked. There may be various app installed in the mobile therefore there is a possibility of battery level getting drained. So when the device battery reaches below certain level an alert has to be generated to the owner.
Lock alert :
There should be a lock alert in the device which is attached to the mobile. So when the vehicle moves without the knowledge of the owner it can trigger an alert.


These are the major influential factors which has to be considered while choosing a vehicle tracking system.
But my suggestion is try to go for the one which offers free trial along with all these features so that you can experience how it works?
