What is GPS satellite vehicle tracking?
The term, GPS (Global Positioning System) in a general sense means
nothing else than a navigational equipment installable or preinstalled by the manufacturer
into a vehicle. Naturally, the GPS system in every case uses signals transmitted
via s in Medium Earth Orbit to calculate the position of a given vehicle, but a
GPS satellite positioning and tracking system is able to transmit
signals required by the software used by companies providing vehicle tracking services,
thus making even fuel theft preventable. This way, during satellite vehicle
tracking, through the GSM network a two-way GPRS communication is established,
creating an automatic and consequently permanent connection between the vehicles
equipped with vehicle tracking system and the dispatch call center. This constant
and automatic connection contributes to high service quality by a notable service
fee reduction, for instance through free of charge messaging with the drivers.
The main element of satellite vehicle tracking - naturally, excluding the satellite
GPS equipment itself - is the software developed by our company, because this software
is the element that enables us to meet the various and numerous needs of our clientele
regarding fleet management. The number of services or specialized vehicle tracking
applications our clients are able to choose from is practically determined by this
software used for GPS vehicle tracking.

Webbase FloMon
Webbase FloMon, a preinstalled software of the Webbase GPS vehicle tracking
system, among other things designed to prevent fuel theft.
Webbase FloMon is also accessible via the Internet, but a program
installation CD is required for the installation of this GPS satellite vehicle tracking
software. However, following its installation, the program automatically upgrades
itself upon every activation in order to provide users with the most
recent fleet tracking version. Due to its technology the FloMon contains a notably
greater amount of data, and is able to manage the software with a considerably greater
speed. Thus, the FloMon - the preinstalled software of the Webbase GPS satellite
vehicle tracking system - though being able to provide a greater amount and more
detailed information, is able to meet more complex and more specialized requirements
than the Webbase Live. This software is recommended for users and companies
requiring greater amount and more detailed analysis within their user- or company
networks, and for those intending to utilize the acquired information
and data in their future work processes. For instance, with the utilization of this
preinstalled Webbase GPS satellite vehicle tracking software the fuel level monitoring
option becomes complete, as the Webbase FloMon software includes the greatest
number of data-analysis, chart and diagram pertaining to and warning of fuel and
gasoline theft.

Free of charge messainging with drivers
The complex system including the hardware equipment installed into vehicles
as well as the custom-developed and installed Webbase Chart&Drive communication
software application - containing the free of charge messaging option - provides
unparalleled assistance in a way that the dispatch call center of the company managing
the fleet is able to communicate practically free of charge with drivers on international
routes. Moreover, due to this selfsame GPS and satellite positioning system based
GPRS fleet managing technology aiding cost-effective fleet management, as well as
to the online vehicle tracking service, drivers can keep
in touch and maintain contact through free of chare messaging with each
other as well. Due to the GPRS connection within the GPS tracking fleet management
system the - still high priced - roaming calls and text messages become unnecessary,
because the drivers have the possibility to exchange messages free of charge with
the dispatch call center as well as with each other. At the same time, the
fleet manager - through satellite tracking - is able to continually
monitor the activity of the drivers as well as the vehicles.

Prevention of fuel theft
Fuel theft is a present problem affecting the
activities of every fleet managing and fleet operating company using even the most
up-to-date fleet managing technology. Different experimental solutions were developed
for prevention of fuel theft even prior to the development of GPS
satellite based vehicle tracking systems utilizing FMS or Canubus
technology. A number of technological methods that today are considered dated are
known by which the amount of fuel filled into the tank of a vehicle and the amount
of fuel used is measured. Most of these technologies - due to their inaccuracy and
unreliability - currently are not in use. The unique solution based on Canbus
technology - also feasible for the prevention of fuel theft - offered by us can
be installed simply, quickly and through a method that is way more cost-effective
than installation by the manufacturer - which is not an irrelevant aspect either.
Installation of this unique solution is possible even if the fleet manager did not
take into consideration the pre-installable FMS connection option at the time of
the purchase of the vehicle. The Webbase ProLine service that is
truly unique in the Hungarian market is capable to measure with even up to ±1%
accuracy the actual amount of fuel consumed by the engine of the vehicle. Furthermore,
the dispatch call center can receive in every minute an update on the actual fuel
level and the modification of the fuel level of the vehicle through the automatic
alarm feature via the GPRS network. Thus, this system is perfectly feasible
for the prevention of fuel theft, as well as for the defining of the
location and the exact time of the occurring fuel theft by providing online, true-time
tracking.

Automatic alarm feature
What does the automatic alarm feature entails within the GPS satellite vehicle
tracking system?
It is evident that a fleet manager or operator of a company or fleet operator organization
owning a vehicle fleet consisting of a large amount of vehicles, during its every
day work is unable to monitor each vehicle of its fleet, thus the owner has little
knowledge of the whereabouts and condition of most of its vehicles. For instance,
the owner is unable to properly monitor the run time, the actual location and the
fuel consumption of each of its vehicles, as well as is unable to guarantee that
all the drivers observe traffic regulations. This is why our company has developed
a vehicle tracking system that includes an automatic alarm feature based on
GPS satellite signals. During vehicle tracking this feature automatically
informs the client of all events perceived by the client to be significant pertaining
to the working of the vehicle.
What type of events can be monitored by the automatic alarm feature option?
Within the features of GPS satellite tracking, automatic alarm option
can be set, for instance to monitor predetermined speed limits, thus the vehicle
registration pate number will appear of each vehicle exceeding compulsory speed
limits, automatically signaling that the driver of the given vehicle has failed
to observe applicable traffic regulations. The automatic alarm option can be set
in a way that the tracking system will send a warning message if the vehicle is
stationed on a location marked in our database as illegal fuel or pallet distribution
location, thus the GPS satellite vehicle tracking system will warn you on
all events you need to know about pertaining to the proper management of your fleet
and the monitoring of your drivers. Our database on such events is continually upgraded.
In the case of companies engaged in product distribution or in the case of employees
using vehicles to go on business appointments, on the map of the Webbase satellite
vehicle tracking system the locations of competitor companies can be marked and
even the amount of time spent on any location can be calculated. Only the shortness
of time prevents us from continuing the ever so long list of application possibilities
the automatic alarm feature option of the GPS satellite vehicle tracking
includes, as with the help of the GPS signal based vehicle tracking software the
automatic alarm feature option can be set to an endless number of conditions specified
according to the needs of our clients, the fleet managers.

Driver monitoring
On the map appearing on the "Present" page of our website - based on the online
real-time GPS vehicle tracking - you can continually monitor the
geographical position of your vehicles and the current activity of your drivers
while using our software under the trade name Webbase-Live. All vehicle drivers
can be monitored from any part of the world via the satellite based
GPS fleet tracking system with the aid of different setup options.
You can check and see if the drivers are taking a detour from their preplanned travel
rout, if they fail to stop at a preplanned location or destination, if they fail
to abide by traffic regulations, or perhaps unnecessarily tank fuel. The options
of vehicle identification and vehicle usage monitoring are at the disposal of the
fleet operator and the fleet management at any
time. With the possibility of the drivers being monitored at any time via the
satellite GPS fleet tracking system, management becomes more cost-effective
and administrational work is greatly simplified.
back
Cost-effective fleet management
With the aid of numerous easy-to-use software - among many others, the Webbase
FloMon - and hardware offered by us, on the one hand the number of manned work hours
can be reduced, on the other hand - with the application of such software and hardware
- the run of your vehicles can be optimized, the activity of your
drivers can be monitored during any time of the day, and thus the goals of manning-control,
cost-effective fleet operation and up-to-date fleet management can be accomplished.
Our experience gained as to this day prove that in possession of the above listed
information our clientele - the fleet operators and the fleet managers - are able
to accomplish a great deal in the area of technical upkeep and usage-maximization
of their vehicle fleet, of employee monitoring, of vehicle identification, as well
as in the area of economization of the usage of vehicles, and are able to cut back
on unnecessary administrational tasks. All this is accomplished with the aid of
an easy-to-use software, offering the highest number of vehicle tracking feature
options.
Thus, cost reduction is accomplished in numerous areas via the
GPS based vehicle tracking with the application of the Webbase
satellite fleet tracking system, namely, for instance through the feature
of free of charge messaging with drivers enabling a virtually costless way of GPS
based communication between the driver and the dispatch call center. Furthermore,
there is a possibility that the drivers - by taking advantage of your trust - obtain
gasoline through illegal means, the cost of which will be deducted from your company
profit. With the aid of satellite vehicle tracking and the application
of the GPS vehicle tracking system fuel theft can be prevented and avoided, and
if effective gasoline management and driver monitoring
is attained, unaccounted for fuel consumption can be radically decreased.
As a result of such further decrease in costs, cost-effective fleet management can
be achieved.
back
Cost-effective fleet management
How can cost-reduction be achieved through effective fleet management?
By stating that with the application of cost-effective, company-tailored vehicle
tracking, and with the application of GPS satellite tracking software - among others,
Webbase FloMon - and hardware cost-effective fleet operation and
fleet management can be achieved, our basic intention is to bring to your attention
two important aspects. One aspect is that the application of GPS vehicle tracking
reduces the need for manpower employment. The other aspect is that the run-parameters
of the vehicles can be optimized, and the activity of the drivers can
be monitored in virtually any given moment of the day. The latter aspect is of especially
great importance because, in the world of cargo transport it is a well known fact
that numerous problems related to fuel or even the act of fuel theft can be prevented
by effective fleet- or vehicle monitoring.
How can cost-effectiveness be further aided during GPS vehicle tracking?
By the application of our satellite vehicle tracing system enabling cost-effective
fleet management, virtually every move of the drivers can be monitored
by signals transmitted to the dispatch call center - via the GPRS network - thus
a number of subsequent misunderstandings can be avoided, and the drivers continue
their work more consciously, with this thought in mind. Although many think of "signal
transmitting" on the accelerator pedal position, and on the current rev - features
included in GPRS cost-effective fleet management - as unnecessary information, our
prior experience proves that in possession of such information our clients were
able to accomplish a great deal in the area of technical upkeep and usage-maximization
of their vehicle fleet, as well as in the area of cost-effective fleet operation
and fleet management, and were able to cut back on unnecessary administrational
work.
