Vehicle Tracking Stroud

Vehicle Tracking Stroud Gloucestershire (GL5): Vehicle tracking allows businesses in Stroud that run a fleet of cars, vans or other vehicles to manage and locate their fleet in an instant. It provides transport and logistics managers a solution to improve day to day operations and make the most efficient use of their vehicles with real time operation and control. For individuals in Stroud, a vehicle tracking system can be used to notify a car or motorbike owner if their vehicle has been stolen, or can be used to check the location of a shared car to keep your family safe.

EXACTLY HOW DOES VEHICLE TRACKING WORK?

Active vehicle tracking uses a variety of methods to locate and pass information about the location and movement history of the vehicle to which it is attached. Location, speed and direction can be monitored using a GPS device which links to a remote monitoring station via mobile network or radio transmission.

If a mobile network (GSM) is used then either a SIM card subscription, or a subscribed monitoring service via a professional company is required. For those devices using a VHF transmission method, a transmission is sent via radio frequencies (RF) to a bespoke monitoring station, possibly via privately owned repeaters.

Passive tracking systems for your vehicles in Stroud require no permanent link to a monitoring station. These devices store the data within a memory chip and can be uploaded via a hard wire connection or through a recognised wifi link. Active tracking systems will also store data to a local storage device in case of poor signal quality or loss of connection via GPS or GSM signals. Once the signal is restored the live and stored data is uploaded to the monitoring service.

WHICH TYPE OF TRACKING SYSTEM IS BEST FOR YOU?

There are a multitude of tracking systems available on the market; smart applications for your phone, single vehicle tracking and recovery, multi vehicle monitoring, 24 hour monitoring from by a remote company...and the list goes on. Choosing the perfect tracking system for your vehicle in Stroud can be confusing, so let's look at some of the benefits of the most popular types of vehicle tracking equipment:

Individual tracking systems can be linked to an alarm system in your home in Stroud, connected to your smartphone or PC via proprietary software, or can be monitored around the clock by a professional tracking company.

For private vehicle owners in Stroud the benefits of having a professional tracker fitted does not stop with being able to recover your car if it's stolen.

ADVANTAGES FOR TRANSPORT AND LOGISTICS MANAGEMENT IN STROUD

Vehicle tracking systems are improving and adapting their scope of uses as more companies in Stroud employ them in an active role. Some benefits include:

• Valuable asset tracking can be applied to items that require extra special requirements due to their cost or rarity. Small battery operated tracking devices can be hidden inside a package and monitored until it reaches its destination.
• Crash and collision detection can be applied with software that monitors if a tracker comes to a sudden or unexpected stop. A voice or text message is then sent to the driver of the vehicle. If there is no response within a specified time, an emergency call is made to either the operations room or directly to the emergency services.
• Trailers can be tracked in conjunction with their cab and if they are separated a warning can be given.
• Field sales or service representatives can be directed quickly to their next appointment with an accurate time of arrival relayed to the client.
• Vehicle diagnostics can be monitored in real time with OBD II (On Board Diagnostic) devices which plug into the specialised plug and play interface found on nearly all modern vehicles. This relays information from the engine management system and helps to diagnose any faults and flags any problematic areas before serious faults can occur.

These devices can utilise a low power rechargeable battery, or be connected to your car's power circuit or OBD port. These low cost devices are ideal if you're on a budget, but do come with some restrictions.

Often you will be required to take out a subscription with tracking device company, which when compared to a professionally fitted device, can be found to be more expensive over time. In nearly all smaller devices a GSM signal is required for updates and for full tracking features. This means that in areas of poor signal such as multi storey car parks, tunnels and some areas of the country, the tracking device may not work. Bear in mind that if your DIY tracker is connected via the OBD II interface on your car it only takes a few seconds for a thief to remove and discard the device.
