RESEARCH OF EXISTING GPS MONITORING SYSTEMS IN ROAD TRANSPORT

Abstract

Transportation of goods by vehicles makes up the majority of the total flow of goods. Starting from the transportation of raw materials and semi-finished products to factories and ending with the delivery of the finished product to stores and directly to buyers, cars are used. Against this background, the issue of monitoring vehicles arises, which is necessary for both security reasons and financial control. Considering various options, GPS monitoring turned out to be the most effective. The GPS monitoring system is a satellite system for tracking the location and condition of any moving objects. GPS monitoring should not be considered as a way to determine the position of a car in space, but should be considered much more broadly.

First of all, this is obtaining data on the speed of delivery of goods by different routes. If a company makes deliveries to the same cities on a permanent basis, then shortening the route by several kilometers and reducing delivery time by several hours in annual terms results in a significant amount of savings.

Satellite vehicle monitoring is the right solution for many companies. Such a tool allows you to not only verbally, but actually master the situation at your enterprise, monitor the work of each driver, eliminate the possibility of fraud, stop the misuse of vehicles, as well as eliminate fraud related to fuel, significantly save time for transporting goods. These problems are very common for modern fleets of any industry specifics.

A comprehensive freight transport monitoring system allows you to:

exclude the misuse of wheeled vehicles and other machines;

minimize the risk of fuel overconsumption;

assess the qualifications of drivers and dispatchers;

reduce downtime by calculating the delivery time for loading or unloading.

All this leads to a decrease in the cost per ton-kilometer of delivered cargo. In conditions of fierce competition in the freight transportation market, this is a strong argument that will allow a transport company that wants not only to maintain its position in the market, but also to expand its presence.
