AVTS-1000

Automotive Vehicle Tracking System

Introduction:
  • This system is ideal for owners of fleets of trucks or busses who would like to keep track of the locations of their vehicles at anytime.
  • It is an aid to Logistics & Supply chain management and increases the efficiency of warehouse management and vehicle management systems. It allows vehicle owners to keep tabs on their vehicles and goods, and also acts as a deterrent to drivers engaging in untoward activities.

  Software Interface:    
 Web Based
 The Web Based AVTS application software does not require the installation of client software in clients’ PCs at client end. The vehicle AVTS unit communicates with a Web service hosted on the Web server via SMS or GPRS to update position data on database server (MSSQL/MS Access). Clients simply have to subscribe to Web service and log on to Web server via the Internet to access vehicle data on database server, and view latest vehicle positions on map.
 Server-Client Based
 The Server-Client Based AVTS application software requires the installation of client software in clients’ PCs for vehicle data download from server. Client logs in to client software using a valid username and password to download vehicle data stored in central database maintained by Local or Web server for monitoring and analysis purposes.

 The GSM modem receives data from vehicle AVTS units via SMS or GPRS and the data is then stored at Local or Web server. The central database contains all vehicle data stored in different databases, i.e. vehicle regular interval position report/activity report data, over-speed report data, SOS report data, barcode report data, vehicle configuration data, Point of Interest (POI) report data, geo fencing violation report data and route violation report data. Individual user is able to view only the vehicle data which he/she is allowed to view, depending on the user rights assigned to individual user by the administrator. The software administrator has the rights to view all vehicle data as well as remotely configure hardware units. The GSM modem can also send outgoing configuration messages to AVTS hardware units installed in vehicles via SMS or GPRS.

 Apart from requiring the installation of client software at client end, every PC with client software installed needs to have applicable map imported for vehicle locations tracking or viewing.
