Vehicle Tracking Systems combine a number of well-developed technologies. Known by many names such as Automatic Vehicle Locating System (AVLS), Vehicle Tracking and Information System (VTIS), Mobile Asset Management System (MAMS), these systems offer an effective tool for improving the operational efficiency and utilization of vehicles. Today GPS fitted cars ambulances, fleets and police vehicles are common sights on the roads of developed countries. Of all the applications of GPS, vehicle tracking and navigational systems have brought this technology to the day-to-day life of the common man. Vehicle information can be viewed on electronic maps via the Internet or specialized software. Many systems also combine a communications component such as cellular or satellite transmitters to communicate the vehicle’s location to a remote user. Most modern vehicle tracking systems use Global Positioning System (GPS) modules for accurate location of the vehicle.
A vehicle tracking system is an electronic device installed in a vehicle to enable the owner or a third party to track the vehicle's location.
