Tracking of assets
This might be undoubtedly the most important function of fleet management system in the construction industry. The industry is often susceptible to loss and theft of resources and tracking a loaded vehicle from the source to the construction site becomes easier with a fleet management software.
However, individual monitoring of resources is possible by combining the RFID technology with GPS. Passive RFID tags consume less power and can prolong tracking time. Devices which combine Smartphone technology with satellite or GPS system are also available. In short, construction supervisors and site managers can easily track all the goods which are loaded onto a vehicle or entrusted to a driver.
With the advent of GPS tracking system, you can now conveniently analyse the driving patterns of individual drivers and thereby, recognize their unacceptable driving habits. Over the Air security and control features enable you to prevent the engine from switching on in cases of emergency. Consequently, stolen or lost vehicles can thus be easily identified and cargo can be retrieved in less time. Meanwhile, you can also utilize the data to keep an eye on potentially erring drivers to lower the chances of resource damage and theft. And, the automatic systems decelerate the vehicle, thus putting a stop to the vehicle and locks the brakes or prevents engine from switching on again for a predetermined
