The industry which is the first to implement a vehicle tracking systems is shipping industry, because they needed to monitor their trucks position at real time or they can track every checkpoints traveled by the tracks.
Now the Question arrives that how a GPS Vehicle Tracking System Works, Lets Know about the working of the system.
GPS (Global Positioning System) uses the Global Navigation Satellite System network (GNSS) to get data about the time, location, and its vehicle speed. The Global Navigation Satellite System network includes various satellites which transmit information to GPS gizmos by using microwave signals.
GPS based vehicle tracking system easily track locations of multiple vehicles in a real time.
It consists of a GPS device installed in vehicle and a software which collects the data and information of vehicles locations on the screen. Apart from vehicle location GPS device can also send a real time data about vehicle’s condition and specific events which are set in the GPS device.
Commonly tracked events in public transport are ignition (on/off), doors (open/closed) & vehicle’s speed.
There are two ways for the GPS tracking system :
Active tracking.
Passive tracking.
