Fleet controlling
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Fleet controlling is a type of telematic system for wagon-vehicles and mobile equipment used for back-office management.[1] It represents the evolution from simple vehicle tracking to a more comprehensive system focused on business intelligence and operational control.[2]
Depending on the supplier, these systems can provide several functions:
- Collecting and sending operating data, such as vehicle location data, activity logs, and driver performance metrics.
- Logging data from a telematic control unit installed in a vehicle or machinery, including planned routes, assigned tasks, and text messages.
- Sending commands and information from a central operations center, such as alert messages, reports, route planning, and task optimization.
- Integrating with GPS tracking units.
Because they process and exchange location-specific data, these systems are classified as a type of location-based service (LBS).[3][4]
