Manage your Fleet with SupaTrak

The introduction of vehicle tracking systems to the transport industry has been viewed by many to be a miracle. It is also just another example of how science and technology have crept into every aspect of our modern lives. A vehicle tracking system is an electronic mechanism that is installed into a vehicle in order for its owner to be able to track down his or her vehicle’s location.

Traditionally GPS tracking systems were used in the shipping industry to help large shipping companies monitor where all there ships were at any given time. More recently, haulage and large transportation firms require similar systems in order to provide an efficient service to their clients. Corporations with a large fleet of vehicles need some sort of technology or fleet management system to help them determine the positions of their entire fleet at any given time.

The most recent vehicle tracking systems utilize Global Positioning System (GPS) technology to locate the exact location of the vehicle(s) in question. However, some systems combine communication components such as cellular or satellite transmitters that can be used to communicate the vehicle’s location to a remote user. A vehicle tracking system provides the information about the vehicles via the internet or specialized software which can then be viewed by means of an electronic map.

Many vehicle tracking systems are using specialized software or a form of automatic vehicle location (AVL) in order to follow their vehicles. Some of the AVL systems do not even require an antenna to catch the frequency. However, terrestrial based systems such as, LORAN and LoJack tracking modules use radio frequency (RF) transmitters which transmit through walls, buildings and garages.
