AVL Systems
While automatic vehicle location (AVL) systems do utilize
GPS technology, the two are not one and the same. AVL systems
work with GPS satellites to determine a vehicle's location.
This information is then transmitted (usually via a cellular
network) from a receiver inside of the vehicle to its destination.
Depending on the update frequency, this process is repeated
roughly every fifteen minutes, or much sooner in many public
safety applications.
Industries that benefit from AVL technology include the aforementioned
public safety services (police, ambulance, fire departments,
etc.), waste management companies, and delivery services,
among many others. However, such technology is not exclusive
to only those businesses and organizations with extensive
mobile workforces. AVL is affordable enough for virtually
any company that needs to keep track of its employees.
We at InSight USA have developed a wide range of AVL plans
that feature a combination of hardware and our StreetEagle
software. In addition to tracking your mobile employees, you
can work towards improving efficiency and increasing your
profits. Two of StreetEagle's many features to help you achieve
this include the ability to map the most cost-effective routes
and the capacity to see when vehicles are idling when they
should be shut off.
For small companies, the idea of investing in AVL technology
is certainly daunting. However, we've developed a Pilot Program
that will diminish any trepidation you may be feeling. For
a minimal fee, you can test drive our Pilot Program on one
vehicle for up to two months. To learn more about this plan
or any of our other products or services, don't hesitate to
contact
us to request more information.
