Navigation and positioning systems based on GPS (Global Positioning System) are becoming more and more widespread and available. Its operational principle is simple: GPS navigation devices are receiving the sygnals from special satellites, processing the, and, on the base of data received, able to calculate the current position, movement velocity, its direction. Today the most promising corporate area of GPS navigation technology use in Ukraine are Fleet Management Systems.

We are proudly bringing to your attention exclusive navigation and positioning system for fleet management. The application of the system will serve the following purposes:

	Defining the object's position using GPS satellite navigation system in various modes (upon request, with predefined time interval automatically);
	Object's representation on the map;
	Object movement characteristics detection: velocity, movement direction, time and length of halts;
	Object's conditions definition basing on connected sensors readings («SOS» alarm button, impact sensor, capacity sensor, door opening sensor, ignition sensor, etc.);
	Object route and movement characteristics recording to «black box» memory with option to read them remotely;
	Recording to database the object movement history log for defined time range and with relation to geographical map, graphical representation of object's route, velocity, sensors status;
	Generation of object-related reports for defined time range: total traversed distance report, object halts report, velocity excess report, etc.;
	Using the system via WEB interface.

The Main Principles of System Operation

Vehicle is equipped with a set of onboard devices, which set reads its position, velocity, movement direction, and connected sensors state.

Next these data (upon operator's request or after a predefined time interval) are being transmitted to main server via GPRS connection, where they are available for Control Center requests and transmitted there via protected Internet channel.

Control Center is automatically collecting and processing the data, generating the reports.

Dispatcher is able to preview vehicle's position and conditions, analyse statistics, make decisions.

Possible effects of such system implementation are:

• Goods transportation and services provision are increasing;
• Fuels and lubricants expenses are optimised due to superfluous mileage reducing;
• Fast responce to contingency situations;
• Staff labour discipline is increased;
• Number of deadpaths is lowered;
• Lesser breakdown rate;
• Reducing the losses due to vehicle and carriage theft;
• Prolonging the vehicle operation life.
