What is GPS? GPS, which stands for Global Positioning System, is the only system today able to show you your exact position on the Earth anytime, anywhere. The three parts of GPS are: Satellites Receivers Software
Satellites GPS Satellites Space Vehicles (SVs) 24 SVs in constellation 3 spares Orbit every 12 hours Altitude of 20,200 km
Receivers and Satellites GPS units receive the signals from 3 4 GPS satellites (which have a much better view of the Earth) to find out exactly where they are on the global scale of things
GPS Signals Each GPS satellite transmits data that indicates its location and the current time. All GPS satellites synchronize operations so that these repeating signals are transmitted at the same instant. Physically the signal is just a complicated digital code, or in other words, a complicated sequence of on and off pulses.
Time Difference The GPS receiver compares the time and signal that was transmitted by a satellite with the time it was received. The time difference allows the GPS receiver to calculate its position. away the

GPS Fleet Management Benefits Increased Driver Productivity Real Time Dispatch Tool Decreased Overtime Reduced Fuel Expenses Improved Customer Service More Accurate Billing Validation of Service Calls Benefits of a Virtual Time Clock Lower Insurance Costs 5 15% Decreased Driver Speeding
Software Fleet management software is available in two types. 1) Web based 2) Client based Web based fleet management software will receive location data from a vehicle unit over a wide area wireless network (e.g. Singular or Versions) and store data in a central server. Customers will be able to view their t fleet s locations and history from anywhere with an Internet connection. Customer data is typically stored for up to 90 days. Client based fleet management software is installed on one or several computers in an office and can be accessed over the office network or a VPN network. The most common method of receiving vehicle data is a local l area wireless connection. Vehicles will transfer their data to a central database when they return within range of a radio antenna mounted at the office. Data is stored at the office and is available as long as a business owner o desires.
Elements of Fleet Management Software There are many common elements of GPS fleet management software. These include maps, history, reports, alerts and administration functions. Every system has a slightly different take on how to provide information to the business owner.
