Vehicle Tracking
|
|
Traccia combines GPS technology and wireless communications and uses internet and
digital maps to provide a complete solution for all your fleet management and tracking
requirements. Traccia’s Mobile Location Tracking Modules maintain continuous GPS
location, direction and speed information and combine that with important threshold
parameters like speed limits, idling limits, geofences and time fences as defined
by the customer to trigger alerts on exceptions.
Vehicle location information is delivered from the vehicle via satellite communication
using GSM technology and robust GPS equipment which is mounted on the vehicle, insuring
that data is uninterruptedly transmitted. All mobile resource data is received,
stored and analyzed at the Traccia Network Operations and Data Center with fault
tolerant infrastructure.
Vehicle telematic data is accessed by logging on to Traccia eTrack application via
web browser from any computer connected to the internet. From this application,
reports are generated, alerts set and all monitoring is performed.

Realtime GPS
|
|
Global Positioning System (GPS) provides reliable positioning information for navigational
purposes. Realtime GPS leverages on GSM technology to continuously transmit GPS
information over the air at very short intervals which enables monitoring of moving
assets or vehicles from remote locations.
Traccia, our fleet management solution makes use of industry reputed realtime GPS
hardware, which is an integration of GPS receiver, a GSM/GPRS modem, antennas and
is highly rugged to withstand harsh conditions.
|
|
|
|
The Realtime GPS hardware is securely mounted on the clients vehicle. The position
information packets are received from GPS satellites through the GPS antenna/chipset
and are processed and encoded onboard. This information along with other vehicle
statuses such as speed, idle/moving status, current local time etc are packaged,
encrypted into a single delivery packet and transmitted over the air through the
GSM/GPRS modem and trusted local telecom provider network, which is received at
our data centre. This information is interpreted by our web application and is made
available to customers over thin browsers and online Google pro maps .

Web Application
|
|
Traccia Web is the user interface layer of our Fleet Management Solution, powered
by industry standard tools, database and Google Pro for maps. This interface allows
you to view the performance of your fleet any time anywhere. All it needs is a computer
connected to the internet.
The salient modules include:
|
|
eTrack
|
|
eTrack provides a high visibility view of the fleet with each vehicles position
and status represented over a map underlay powered by Google pro. The vehicles being
monitored can be filtered based on the fleet, the category or individual vehicles.
The status of vehicles and the speed ranges follow a color legend for easy identification
and detailed status of the vehicle along with the movement details of the last 24
hours is provided on the user clicking the vehicle marker.
The map view is incorporated with a Virtual Geographic Fencing (Geo-Fence) feature.
Geo-Fence allows users to create predefined area(s) over the map that is of specific
interest to the user. Once the vehicle enters or leaves any such fenced area eTrack
automatically sends an SMS alert notifying the event.
|
|
xTrail
|
|
The user can view the trails of the vehicle positions for any day or time in the
past which gives complete information of vehicle movement that has happened. The
traces are represented graphically on the map along with violations against threshold
that have happened during the trip.
|
|
Alerts
|
|
The users are allowed to define threshold parameters for various events like speeding,
permitted idle time etc. Traccia web constantly monitors any violations against
these values and immediately alerts the user either through sms or email or display
on the webscreen or all of the above as desired by the user. The various alerts
that are featured in Traccia web are Speeding Alerts, Idling Alerts, Time Fence
alerts, Geofence Alerts and Maintenanace alerts.
|
|
Geo Fence alerts
|
|
The system is incorporated with a Virtual Geographic Fencing (Geo-Fence) feature.
Geo-Fence allows users to create predefined area(s) within a region that the vehicle
is allowed to go. Once the vehicle enters any such fenced area the eTracking module
automatically sends an SMS notifying the event.
|
|
Speeding alerts
|
|
The user can define speed range for different type / category of vehicles and thereby
receive SMS alerts on any violations in the speed. The speed range can be altered
at any time thereby permitting the same vehicle to travel at different speeds, based
on the route, the nature of cargo, the condition of the vehicle, the experience
of the driver etc. This can be viewed from a live dashboard.
|
|
Idling alerts
|
|
The user can define thresholds for idle time of vehicles and thereby receive SMS
alterts if the idle time of vehicles exceeds beyond the threshold.
|
|
Time Fence alerts
|
|
Similar to the geographic fencing, the system also allows users to create time fence
(s). The user can create time intervals during which any movement or no movement
of the vehicle (s) should be alerted using SMS notifications.
|
|
Maintenance alerts
|
|
The fleet owners can choose to get alerted about their vehicles that are due for
maintenance based on predefined time intervals or mileage clocked.
|
|
Reports
|
|
In order to translate vehicle tracking details to useful information for decision
making, Traccia web provides a variety of reports to the customer. The user has
instant access to 3 categories of reports namely MIS Reports, Exception Reports
and Queries.
|
|
MIS Reports
|
|
They provide summary and detailed reports of fleet movement - fleet wise, category
wise and for individual vehicles. All information pertaining to vehicle movement
namely speed, distance covered, intermediate trip locations and vehicle status are
made available in these reports
|
|
Exception Reports
|
|
These exception reports provide an insight into all violations that the fleet has
caused namely speed limit violations, time fence violations etc
|
|
Queries
|
|
They are on screen reports to cater to specific user requests to find out all exceptions
during the day, textual display of current position of vehicles and to quickly find
information of a particular vehicle that is of interest to the customer
|
|
Apart from the above reports available over Traccia web, the customer can also choose
to receive daily, weekly and monthly reports of fleet movement through emails.
|
|
Other features
|
|
Traccia web also provides useful features to enable our customers to provide a link
to their customers to track the movement of their consignment for a period of time
as determined by the customer or till the consignment enters a particular geofence.
This will help our customers demonstrate their transparency in operations to their
customers.
We also provide features like user management where the admin user can create sub
fleets and assign it to an individual to monitor. This can be put into use for managing
independent accounts within the overall fleet.
Our nearest vehicle locator feature enables the user to locate the vehicles closest
to any chosen point on the map. This will be particularly useful for tourist operators,
call taxis, inter city cargo dispatch etc where this facility empowers the user
to respond quick and in a cost effective manner.
