What is VTS?

Vehicle tracking systems have a number of uses including but not limited to logistics fleet management, Public transport, Cab services, School buses, Solid waste management and much more. With the advancement in technology, devices have become smarter and much more efficient then what they used to be.

Let’s take a look at the various components included in a VTS.

1.      Tracking Device:

There are many different types of devices available in the market depending on what the organization’s or fleet operator’s needs are. These devices commonly are powered by plugging them into the car or they may have an inbuilt battery. For most part, if a fleet of vehicles is involved, the device is powered using cables attached to cars

2.      Server:

A server is where all the information recorded by the device goes and is then transferred from there to the end user or organization or fleet operator. The quality of VTS changes depending upon the quality and speed of the servers. Some servers are very efficient and transmit data almost instantaneously. 

3.      UI / User index / User screen:

The server transmits its data to the UI in an understandable format. Here the operator can choose or change the features. This can include features like live tracking, over speeding alerts, Fuel sensors, Geo-fencing. Some advanced systems also have features like Ignition on/off sensors, AC on/off sensors, vehicle immobilization, In-built recorder etc. Depending on the fleet operator’s needs, a personalized Device and UI can easily be created.

Vehicle tracking systems are important because they not only promote efficient management but also avoid the theft or misuse of vehicles. To know more about VTS and how you can make optimal use of it, Leave a comment below or write to us!
