Tracking of Routes
SmartTracker features advanced functionality for tracking of routes of all the vehicles that have GPS devices installed. Information about the route is visualized graphically on the electronic map in the “Map” section and in text format in “Track list” section. It includes data for travel distance, average speed, maximum speed, stops and rests, etc.
Real Time Vehicle Location
Smart Tracker features “Real Time Vehicle Status”, which provides instant
information about a vehicle’s current location and status. Real time status,
including data about current location, speed, engine status, fuel level, etc. can
be visualized instantly for a single or multiple vehicles at the same time.
Monitoring of Vehicle Speed
The speed of a vehicle can be easily monitored in graphic and text format in
SmartTracker client application as well as in the Reports Section.
Monitoring Fuel
The measurement of fuel is a feature that allows SmartTracker ‘s users to
monitor the fuel tank level and fuel consumption of a vehicle or a group of
vehicles and to prevent potential theft. The figure bellow illustrates a
representation of fuel level and consumption as well as the idle time of a
vehicle.
Object Region
Regions and Objects
Regions/polygons and objects can be drawn on the electronic map by the
user for vehicle control purposes.
This feature contributes significantly to the process of vehicle tracking and
control related to specific places, for example gas stations, shops, outlets, etc.
A custom picture can be inserted at the location of the object for easier
Rules for Motion through a Predefined Region
Once the client has defined an Object or Region, she can easily design custom
business rules for control of vehicle movement with regard to the object/region.
RULES
EXAMPLES
Vehicle Can not
Leave Region 1
If you want to limit the vehicle movement only in a town area you can define a town as a Region 1 and design a Rule “ The Vehicle Can not
Leave Region 1”. With this rule you will receive an alarm (SMS, e-mail or
message in alarm window) if the vehicle leave the Region 1. Also you will see it in a special designed report for past period. This report will show you all the broken rules predefined by you.
Vehicle Can not Enter
Region 2
If you want to forbid vehicle to visit the driver home zone. You can define driver home zone as Region 2 and set a rule “The vehicle Can not Enter
the Region 2”. The result will be that you will be notified by SmartTracker
Alarm (SMS, e-mail or message in alarm window) section in cases when the driver doesn’t follow your instructions and visit his home with business car. This will be included in the report also.
Vehicle is Allowed to
Stop at Region 3
If you want to permit a vehicle to reload fuel only in OMV gas stations and stops only at your stores you can define as Objects (O1, 02.. O10) all OMV gas stations and places for stop, and set a rule “The vehicle
