For companies engaged in cargo transportation, it is important not only to ensure safety and control over transport, but also to optimize operating costs and increase the efficiency of the fleet.
GPS/GLONASS monitoring systems for trucking companies
The main tasks to be solved are:
Location and Monitoring Solutions
A wide range of equipment is available for vehicle tracking solutions. This can range from a basic location tracker to more sophisticated devices with additional features such as sensors to monitor fuel consumption, driving aggressiveness, side opening, and more.
Driver time tracking
A simple way to monitor a driver’s work hours is to connect a monitoring system that tracks the vehicle’s operation by ignition or voltage. For more precise control, you can install i-button sensors or use tachographs that transmit data to the monitoring system.
Fuel consumption monitoring
Fuel consumption can be monitored using standard sensors or by installing digital fuel gauges (FLDs), which provide accurate data on refueling, draining and fuel consumption. Depending on the requirements and type of fleet, different solutions can be selected, ranging from basic gauges to complex systems with digital devices.
Temperature monitoring
If temperature cargo is being transported, a temperature sensor can be connected to the body of the vehicle. Installing a sensor is not expensive, but it allows you to effectively monitor the safety of your cargo, especially for sensitive goods.
Remote engine lock and panic button
To ensure cargo security and prevent theft, monitoring systems allow you to lock the engine remotely. A panic button will also provide emergency communication with a dispatcher in the event of a threat.
Driving aggressiveness tracking and tachograph data
Aggressive driving can be monitored using accelerometers and CAN-bus. This allows parameters such as sudden braking, acceleration and speeding to be monitored. In addition, the process of receiving data from digital tachographs can be automated to accurately track drivers’ working hours and compliance with work and rest schedules.
Route monitoring and roaming
For fleets that travel outside of Azerbaijan, it is important to provide roaming-enabled systems. This will save on traffic and keep in touch with vehicles even in other countries.
Tire pressure monitoring
Proper tire pressure is an important aspect for safety and saving on repairs. The sensors installed transmit data to the monitoring system, and dispatchers can monitor this in real time and be notified of potential problems.
GPS/GLONASS monitoring systems can solve many problems, increasing safety, reducing costs and improving fleet efficiency. With solutions such as telematics sensors, trackers, and monitoring systems, management processes can be significantly improved, increasing safety and profitability of the business.
