The whole system runs by a complex protocol. Here more then
one technology works together for serving the mankind. Here GPS, GPRS
and GIS these three separate technology work independently and Vehicle
Tracking System coordinate these three for its interest and give a
pictorial display to the client by its device and software. Let it take a
short tour of this technology.
The CADGPS is the only fully functional
Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS). Utilizing a constellation of
at least 24 Medium Earth Orbit satellites that transmit precise
microwave signals, the system enables a GPS receiver to determine its
location, speed, direction, and time. Developed by the United States
Department of Defense. The satellite constellation is managed by the
United States Air Force 50th Space Wing.
General Packet Radio Service
(GPRS) is a packet oriented Mobile Data Service available to
users of Global System for Mobile Communications (GSM). It provides data
rates from 56 up to 114 kbit/s. GPRS can be used for Internet
communication services such as email and World Wide Web access. GPRS is a
best-effort packet switched service, as opposed to circuit switching,
where a certain Quality of Service (QoS) is guaranteed during the
connection for non-mobile users.
A Geographic Information System
(GIS), is any system for capturing, storing, analyzing and
managing data and associated attributes which are spatially referenced
to Earth. This data are use for digital map representation of any part
of the earth. Geographic information science is the science underlying
the geographic concepts, applications and systems, taught in degree and
GIS Certificate programs at many universities.
A Vehicle Tracking System is an
electronic device installed in a vehicle to enable the owner or a third
party to track the vehicle location. Most modern vehicle tracking
systems use Global Positioning System (GPS) modules for accurate
location of the vehicle. Many systems also combine a communications
component such as cellular or satellite transmitters to communicate the
vehicle location to a remote user. Vehicle information can be viewed
on electronic maps via the Internet or specialized software.
Corporations with large fleets of vehicles required some sort of system
to determine where each vehicle was at any given time. Vehicle tracking
systems can now also be found in consumers vehicles as a theft
prevention and retrieval device. Police can follow the signal emitted by
the tracking system to locate a stolen vehicle.
Now come to the point how we
serve our service to you.
- Step 1: Location
and time information of vehicle is received by the device from GPS
satellite.
- Step 2: Device
sends this information using GSM network through GPRS to the central
server.
- Step 3: The
cadGPS application software, residing in the control station, generates
reports/ alerts/ maps
- Step 4: The
reports/ maps are available online through cadGPS web
application.
- Step 5: The fleet
manager views the vehicle on the map and receives the vehicle status
over internet.
- Step 6:
Alternately data on the location, speed and time can be accessed by the
user through a mobile phone query or through the call center
- Step 7: As and
when required, fleet manager can poll data at the click of a
button.
In case of theft of a vehicle, the options of "
Blow
horn" and "
Open Doors" may
be triggered-this will attract the attention of passers by. Further, the
vehicle will come to a grinding halt by opting the
"
Engine Block" feature on the computer
screen of the software. This way, the vehicle may be saved from
theft/robbery and also it run your transport business more
profitable.
