Gps Vehicle Tracking System

A vehicle tracking system is an electronic device installed in a vehicle to enable the owner or a third party to track the vehicle's location

. Most

modern vehicle tracking systems use Global Positioning System or GPS. The Global Positioning System is a global navigation satellite system

developed by the United States Department of Defense and managed by the United States Air Force 50th Space Wing. Many systems also

combine a communications component such as cellular or satellite transmitters to communicate the vehicles location to a remote user.

How GPS Vehicle Tracking works

GPS satellites circle the earth twice a day in a very precise orbit and transmit signal information to earth. GPS receivers take this information and

use triangulation to calculate the vehicle's exact location. Essentially, the GPS receiver compares the time a signal was transmitted by a satellite

with the time it was received. The time difference tells the GPS receiver how far away the satellite is? Now, with distance measurements from a

few more satellites, the receiver can determine the vehicle's position and display it on the unit's electronic map. There are saveral reasons for

why service companies purchase a GPS Vehicle Tracking Fleet Management System.

* Aide and assist in dispatch to calls.

* Have an accurate method of billing for calls.

* Better customer service, "where is the tech".

* Eliminate time theft / virtual time card.
