In the past, people would send out convoys and just wait for them to arrive at their destination (or worse, not arrive). Thanks to Cartrack’s advanced in-car connectivity system, the unknown factors in fleet management have been effectively eliminated.

What is the Internet of Vehicles?

The Internet of Vehicles is the product of the integration of telecommunications and information processing. The term has evolved to refer to the automation of information transfer from vehicle to vehicle. For example, the invention of emergency warning systems, GPS navigation, integrated hands-free mobile phones, wireless safety communications, and autonomous driving assistance systems are all covered under the term Telematics.

Cartrack vehicle-mounted Internet of Vehicles

Cartrack’s connected vehicle technology provides fleet managers with information that enables them to gain real-time visibility, significantly increasing productivity, reducing risk and saving costs. The system records events such as hard braking, fuel consumption, fuel theft, odometer readings, excessive idling and GPS location, allowing fleet managers to manage efficiency within their fleets. Armed with this information, fleet managers can prevent accidents by monitoring driver behavior, thereby increasing productivity that affects the bottom line of the business.

In-vehicle Internet of Vehicles – the beginning of wasteful fleet spending

Cartrack’s fleet solutions are designed to save fleet managers time, money and even lives. These fleet solutions are fully customizable and are ideal for small businesses (maybe just one or two Bucky) to medium to large businesses with large trucks. Cartrack’s dedicated and customized approach to fleet management is suitable for all types of vehicle users. Each device transmits up-to-date information about nearly every aspect of the vehicle, including speed, position, and driving behavior such as hard braking and sharp turns. With this information provided by Cartrack fleet management solutions, managers can control every aspect of their fleet.

User-friendly fleet management interface

Once logged in, fleet managers will see an easy-to-use interface with the ability to set agendas and plans for each vehicle or driver, including routes, drive times, alerts, and more. By monitoring driver behavior, fleet managers can reduce insurance risk and reduce maintenance costs.

Routing allows fleet managers to create custom routes for each vehicle and forward pickup and delivery information directly to the vehicle’s driver, saving time and money. Once the vehicle deviates from the route, the system will issue a driver departure warning.

Geofencing allows fleet managers to select specific "no-go zones." If a vehicle in the fleet enters a no-go zone, the system alerts managers via text message, so they can react immediately to the anomaly wherever they are. Geofencing can also be used to highlight "passage zones," such as customer delivery areas, and enable reporting on delivery progress.

Electronic Toll Reporting This system provides accurate estimates and calculations of vehicle expenditures based on SANRAL Electronic Tolling, allowing fleet managers to plan ahead and anticipate monthly electronic tolling expenses.

Tools for defining best practices for new businesses

With all these modern and innovative vehicle systems benefiting fleet managers, they can be freed up to focus on creating “internal best practices” to further improve productivity. Some companies are now using our advanced telematics to offer incentive-based bonuses to drivers and are reporting 10% increases in their productivity and no serious driver accidents in the past 6 months.
