Tracking and telematics
Accelerometer
An accelerometer is a device that measures the acceleration that a vehicle experiences during movement. In the trucking industry, an accelerometer is a critical component of a vehicle’s safety system. It is primarily used to monitor the physical forces that a truck is subjected to during operation. The device is designed to detect changes in motion and provide feedback to the truck’s computer system to ensure that the vehicle is operating efficiently and safely.
Learn moreActive GPS tracking
Active GPS tracking is a technology that enables the continuous monitoring and tracking of mobile assets such as trucks, trailers, and other vehicles. This technology uses satellites to determine the exact location of the vehicle, as well as provide real-time information about its speed, direction, and other relevant data.
Learn moreAsset tracking
Asset tracking refers to the process of monitoring and managing valuable assets throughout their lifecycle using various technologies such as GPS and telematics systems. It involves the use of tracking devices, sensors, and software platforms to gather and analyze data related to the location, movement, and condition of assets. The goal of asset tracking is to provide real-time visibility, improve operational efficiency, enhance security, and optimize asset utilization.
Learn moreGeocoding
Geocoding is a process of converting physical addresses into geographic coordinates such as latitude and longitude. The information obtained from geocoding is crucial for the trucking industry as it helps to determine the exact location of a delivery or pick-up point.
Learn moreGeofence
Geofencing is a term that has become quite popular with commercial fleets in recent years. In simple terms, geofencing refers to a virtual boundary that is created around a specific geographic location. This boundary is usually created using GPS technology and is used to monitor the movement and activity of vehicles within the boundary.
Learn moreGeotagging
Geotagging is a term used in the trucking industry that refers to the process of adding geographical identification metadata to various types of media, including photographs, videos, and audio recordings. The basic idea behind geotagging is to provide a more accurate description of the location where the media was captured or created.
Learn moreGlobal navigation satellite system (GNSS)
The Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) is a term used to describe a network of satellites that orbit the earth and provide positioning, navigation, and timing data to users all over the world. In the trucking industry, GNSS technology is used to track the location of trucks and other vehicles, allowing fleet managers to monitor their movements and ensure that they are operating efficiently and safely.
Learn moreGPS fleet tracking
GPS fleet tracking has revolutionized the way transportation firms manage their fleet operations. In simple terms, GPS fleet tracking refers to the use of global positioning system (GPS) technology to monitor and manage the movement and location of trucks, trailers, equipment, and other assets in real time. The technology involves the installation of GPS devices on vehicles, which transmit data to a central server that processes the information and provides insights into vehicle location, speed, direction, and other critical metrics.
Learn moreRoute optimization
Route optimization is a crucial aspect of the trucking industry, as it helps to minimize transportation costs and reduce delivery times. In simple terms, route optimization refers to the process of identifying the most efficient route for a truck to take, based on factors such as distance, traffic conditions, and delivery schedules.
Learn moreTelematics
Telematics is a term that has been gaining popularity in commercial fleets. It’s a combination of telecommunications and informatics, and it refers to the use of technology to communicate with vehicles in order to gather data and improve performance. This can include the use of sensors and GPS technology to track the location, speed, and driving behavior of trucks or heavy equipment.
Learn moreTime to first fix (Ttff)
Time to first fix (Ttff) is a term that is commonly used in the trucking industry. It refers to the amount of time it takes for a vehicle to be repaired after it has experienced a breakdown or malfunction. Essentially, Ttff refers to the time that elapses between the moment a problem is detected and the moment the problem is fully resolved.
Learn moreTrailer tracking
Trailer tracking is a vital aspect of the trucking industry that enables fleet owners and logistics managers to monitor the location, movement, and status of their trailers in real-time. In simple terms, trailer tracking involves installing GPS-enabled devices on trailers to provide accurate and timely information about their whereabouts. This information is then relayed to a central monitoring system where it can be accessed by authorized personnel.
