The latest development in GPS technology is here and companies are already putting it to good use. Vital information such speed, directions and location could only be relayed the the driver of the vehicle with old GPS models. This is the kind of data that can now be read on a computer screen on the other side on the globe, making everyone’s job easier. A taxi company or Ford van leasing company for instance would benefit enormously. Let’s look at the main advantages of these GPS systems
Speeding. The velocity of the vehicle has previously just been for eyes of the driver but now the bosses can see too. Some devices can show if the driver is accelerating or breaking too aggressively. This helps companies establish who is driving well and within the law, and who maybe needs more driving training
Petrol. Before GPS there was always a risk that drivers, especially in the van leasing game, would claim petrol money from their employers for miles that were covered whilst not on work hours. Minimal information could be taken from the tachometer but it was very difficult to prove that the miles were not covered in work time. However, as information such as mileage, time of travel, and exact route can be mapped, its very hard to get away with claiming more petrol money than needed. The latest traffic information can also be fed into them
Location. Knowing the location of each of your team on the road is invaluable for speeder responses. There is no longer a need to call each and every driver to find their location, you can just look at a computer map and send the nearest vehicle to the location.
