How Do GPS Fleet Management and Tracking Systems Work?

In order to implement the system, the vehicle is equipped with a telematics device. For personal tracking, a portable telematics unit the size of a mobile phone. The unit sends the GPS and other status information to the server using the GSM network where it is stored so that the user can access it at any time from his computer via internet.

Operation area: the system can accumulate data all over the world and send it when GSM coverage becomes available.

In case of stationary version the server and JS Baltija 2 Professional access software is located with the customer.

The main features used for a particular period of time:

map - marking of routes including the stops, their time and duration
easy to read charts - fuel status and other indicators
the necessary information can be presented in at least 15 different reports

Warning messages

The system can send warning messages to the user's e-mail or mobile phone, for example, about unauthorised use of vehicle or movement beyond the permitted area and other events selected by the user.

Telematics units with GPS receivers

The task of the telematics unit is to collect vehicle data measured at a certain time and location and forward it for storage.

The data collected and sent by the unit may include:

location coordinates and time;
speed at the given moment;
the average and maximum speed between the messages;
ignition position, vehicle mileage;
additional sensor and identificator readings - fuel, temperature, external equipment
and other data, e.g., trip computer data from the CAN bus

Latvian Geospatial Information Agency topographic map in 1:50,000 scale and orthophoto map in scale 1:10,000;
Maps of 21 regions of Latvia in 1 : 100,000 scale and maps of certain areas;
Latvian and Lithuanian road map in 1:200,000 scale;

Database of addresses in Latvia, Lithuania and Estonia;
The system also offers aerial photographs of the entire area of Latvia in 10'000 scale and the topographic map of Latvia in 50'000 scale.

Google Maps are used for providing European maps and data.
