How can vehicle trackingtechnology be used to increase the effectiveness of a transport fleet?
There are numerous technologies available to ensure that a transport fleet drives the shortest possible miles in the most efficient way, thereby using the least fuel. To tackle inefficiencies a combination of technologies is best. Routing software helps managers and planners select the most effective routes. Scheduling applications ensure delivery sequences of delivery/collection locations are optimised. Sat Nav helps to prevent drivers from wasting fuel by getting lost. Crucially, vehicle tracking shows where the driver has actually been and can help to analyse driver behaviour, and enhancements such as CanBUS provide an even more detailed layer of information. It is best if the data derived from any vehicle tracking technology is filtered and presented in the most manageable way, as this will make management evaluations and decisions fast and easy. For this reason it’s advisable to choose a vehicle tracking solution with KPI reporting functionality which can show trends in behaviour at a glance.
