Vehicle Tracking & Telematics
Overview
Vehicle Tracking and Telematics from The Barcode Warehouse uses a combination of in-vehicle hardware and software together with a hosted web based mapping client and reporting solution to deliver real-time visibility of the location and driving performance of your fleet of vehicles. It is ideally suited to businesses running fleets of over 50 vehicles of all types.
Data on the location of each vehicle is generated from a Global Positioning System (GPS) receiver in the vehicle. Telematics data about vehicle speed, direction, acceleration and braking is generated either directly from the CANBus of the vehicle engine management system (hard telematics) or calculated from the vehicle's change in position (soft telematics), depending on the method of hardware installation you choose to use.
The web based map client provides real-time visibility of the location of the fleet, geo-fencing of client sites, depots and other points of interest to allow automatic alerts of arrival and departure. The system also provides a full set of KPI reports detailing vehicle activity, usage and driving style exceptions.
Key Benefits
- Real-time visibility of all vehicle locations and movements to aid planning and security
- Improve customer service knowing where your fleet and drivers are at all times
- Improves security and reduces unauthorised use of the fleet
- Exception based reporting, real-time alerting and pre-advice / notification
- Operational KPIs for driving performance improvement & driver debrief
- Reduced fuel costs by targeting poor driving styles of overspeed, habitual idling, harsh braking, acceleration and incorrect use of gears and cruise control.
- Ensures owner operated drivers are claiming for the correct mileage / time for work carried out

Vehicle Installation Options
Microlise Tracking Unit (MTU) "Black Box"
The MTU is hard wired into the vehicle providing a GPS satellite receiver, GPRS/GSM data communications back to the hosted web system and "business rule" control for determining how the vehicle is tracked and how events are monitored for exception reporting. The unit allows a variety of other inputs such as door and temperature sensors to provide increased functionality.
The MTU can be directly connected to the vehicle engine management system (CANBus) to provide hard telematics or can use vehicle position changes to calculate soft telematic data.
