			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><em>Telematics systems are not just for the commercial sector, but also for civic, or the government sector as well.  More and more municipalities are adding telematics systems to their fleet vehicles, especially their emergency vehicles.  There are a number of benefits that stem from using this technology in municipal fleets.  In the following article, the author discusses some of these benefits and how they can server a community.</em></p>
<p>The typical emergency vehicle is equipped with some type of telemetry software. There are benefits to the 911 operators, the EMT specialists, the hospital and the patient. For any municipality or private service that has not invested in the technology, here&#8217;s a look at the benefits.</p>
<p>By definition, telematics or telemetry software allows for the measurement and transmission of data, remotely. The data can be transmitted using radio waves, infrared, telephone services or the internet. Locational information is often provided by GPS electronics embedded and integrated into the circuitry.</p>
<p>There are applications for the military, water treatment facilities, farms, environmental research, retail establishments and even racing equipment. The technology has been used in coronary care units of hospitals for many years. A nurse at the desk can monitor a patient&#8217;s condition remotely.</p>
<p>911 operators can use the systems to locate the nearest emergency vehicle, which speeds dispatching and response time. When the EMT specialist arrives on the scene, he or she can use portable equipment to monitor the patient&#8217;s heart. Once the condition is deemed stable, the patient can be placed in the rescue squad, where telemetry software is used again to monitor the heart and other vital functions.</p>
<p>The information gathered in the emergency vehicle can be transmitted to the hospital, often before the patient arrives. In the case of a severe trauma, saving seconds can mean the difference between saving and losing the patient.</p>
<p>The systems can be used to evaluate the effectiveness of a treatment, such as when digitalis is used to stabilize an arrhythmia. All of these things are advantageous to the patient, as well as doctors, nurses and the EMTs.</p>
<p>Staying up to date with the latest technological advancements is essential for the medical community. In order to provide the best in patient care, hospitals use telemetry for a number of purposes. One example is to monitor the heart&#8217;s reaction to physical activity.</p>
<p>Some systems can monitor 30-40 people at a single time. The transmitter is small and lightweight enough to be worn around the patient&#8217;s neck or placed in a pocket. Antennas placed strategically throughout the hospital transmit the info back to the central station, where the staff can read the results.</p>
<p>In most cases, telemetry software equipped systems provide the most effective method for detecting abnormal heart rhythms, immediately. That increases the patients&#8217; chance of survival.</p>
<p>From the site of the accident to the emergency vehicle and finally to the hospital, telematics is there, improving treatment and often speeding recovery time.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><em>Telematics services and GPS Location Technology is moving beyond the traditional domain of fleet tracking and fleet management into the tracking of assets and even people.  In certain parts of the world, the ability to track people can be a life saving if someone was to be kidnapped or caught in a dangerous situation.  This technology will allow companies to better protect their employees.  In the following article, the author discusses how this telematics service is used to protect the worker who is out there on their own.  Read on for more.</em></p>
<p>The use of GPS Fleet Management, also known as Vehicle Tracking or Vehicle Telematics, is increasingly common in today&#8217;s business environment, both in the private and public sectors.</p>
<p>As the use of GPS Location technology has developed and become more widespread, so has the scope of its use widened. Once the domain of the Fleet Manager used as part of Vehicle Tracking system, GPS Location technology has now extended beyond the fleet department and into the hands, literally, of non-vehicle based staff.</p>
<p>Many organizations with a reliance on a vehicle based workforce have invested in GPS Vehicle Tracking technology to help administer a number of functions related to fleet and driver management, including: Vehicle journey time calculations, Vehicle mileage monitoring, Route planning, two way messaging, Driver behaviour analysis, Fuel usage reporting, Vehicle Service Scheduling and Job Schedule Adherence reporting.</p>
<p>Being able to monitor the real-time location of vehicles across a fleet, means organizations are now more able to respond dynamically to changing events and meet the increased expectations of their customers. Assigning the nearest available fleet asset, based on actual and accurate information produced by a vehicle tracking system improves response times and improves customer service levels.</p>
<p>The advent of person based GPS Tracking can complement existing <a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.uktelematicsonline.co.uk/" target="_new">Vehicle Tracking</a> systems and ensure that non-vehicle based mobile personnel, such Street Cleaners, Park Rangers or Community Support Officers can now also be efficiently deployed, based on precise and accurate Location information.</p>
<p>Increasingly defined rules and guidelines pertaining to employers responsibilities under Health and Safety and Duty of Care legislation, means the benefits of this technology is increasingly being as much more than just a tool used to increase efficiency and productivity.</p>
<p>Advice published by both the HSE and Business link says that if you employ lone workers, you have the same responsibilities for their health and safety as for any other employees. You may, however, need to take extra precautions to ensure lone workers are at no greater risk than your other employees.</p>
<p>What is a Lone Worker? According to the same advice, a lone worker is anybody who works alone. The term itself makes is quite clear. The advice continues; A Lone Worker can include; self-employed people and employees who work away from their business base. This occurs in a wide range of business activities, such as transport, construction, maintenance and repair.</p>
<p>In addition to being a tool that provides a location and journey history, Lone Worker GPS Tracking devices, now also serve as personal security devices and include the ability to make and receive voice calls, send a Panic Alarm, which when pressed, transmits an Alarm message with the precise location of the device carrier. Many units also include a Motion Sensor which transmits an alert location if the carrier falls, is lying prone and perhaps requires emergency assistance.</p>
<p>Businesses and organizations, who may have initially introduced GPS Location technology such as vehicle tracking, primarily to maximize the efficient use of their fleet and drivers, are now finding that GPS Location and Tracking technology can also help them meet their other duties and responsibilities.</p>
<p>About the author</p>
<p>Matthew Wright is the publisher of the UK Telematics Online website. Vehicle Telematics solutions such as vehicle tracking are now widely available from a huge number of suppliers; many of whom promote themselves as the &#8220;market leader&#8221; and promise to deliver &#8216;cost benefit&#8217; and &#8216;return on investment.&#8217; With extensive experience of working with both suppliers and customers &#8220;I feel that users of vehicle telematics, if they are actually to see the benefits promised by suppliers and manufacturers, want and need to be better informed.&#8221;</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><em>This article talks about some of the different ways you can rig together a simple telematics system for truck fleets.  The simpler and less expensive the system however, the less information it gives the fleet manager.  In the end however, most fleet managers would rather pay a few bucks more for the bells and whistles that give them more information to work with.  Read on for more on some of the different ways a telematics system can be rigged up for a truck fleet.</em></p>
<p><br class="spacer_" /></p>
<div id="body">
<p>Connect a satnav to a mobile phone and you have a simple telematics system that can track the progress of a vehicle in real time. People have been doing that for years now, and with great benefits, but telematics systems have continued to evolve, and these days they do much more than just give vehicle location.</p>
<p>On early telematics systems you could select a vehicle and be presented with a little map, showing its last reported position. Look at modern control centre software for telematics systems and you&#8217;ll see the whole fleet pinpointed on a zoomable map, updated in real time. In addition to the fleet information, the map can show traffic information with data updated in real time. It is possible to see drivers heading into problem areas and reroute them, or at least reschedule on the basis of predicted delays.</p>
<p>You can map the history of a vehicle&#8217;s movements throughout the day. The ignition key is monitored as well so it&#8217;s possible to check drivers hours, and see how much driving time they have left. Control centre software can also log movement data, truck miles and driver hours, and elaborate the data for both personnel management and truck maintenance purposes.</p>
<p>On trucks, a telematics system can be provided from just a satnav and a smartphone. These are not limited to telematics use, they can be used as an ordinary satnav and mobile phone as well. smartphone use is on the increase; they allow additional specialised software packages to be deployed. Truck drivers can use a smartphone application to make their daily walkaround vehicle inspections. Vehicle check and defect reports get sent straight back to the operations centre where they can be stored as VOSA approved electronic reports.</p>
<p>Another smartphone application is electronic Proof Of Delivery, the type of delivery note where goods are signed for on a touch screen. A copy of the signature goes straight back to the control centre so administration staff can close the paperwork straight away, without having to chase around for lost bits of paper. Customers can have access to a system that shows them the state of consignments in real time. Of course there are stand alone systems that can do this, but incorporating the functions with a Vehicle Tracking System is more efficient and can allow customers to view the vehicle location online to check progress.</p>
<p>Truck telematics systems are simple in concept, but they can be complicated to piece together. Rather than try and commission their own systems, most operators adopt a ready made and proven system from specialist suppliers. Operators often want to integrate their telematics systems with existing control centre software and administration system; control centre software allows for this with interfaces to custom software modules.</p>
<p>Implementing a fully featured telematics system can be a big outlay, and not just for the up front costs; maintenance and running charges must be accounted for as well. Many operators prefer to use a telematics service where they pay a fixed daily fee per vehicle for an all inclusive package.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><em>This is a short article about the benefits of using telematics if you use a fleet of vehicles in your business.  Most of the benefits are obvious, such as finding stolen vehicles, knowing where your drivers are in an instant, the lower need for communication, which also lowers costs such as phone bills, etc.Â  I think the list can be longer as well such as lower insurance costs because of the anti-theft benefits as well as being able to implement policies such as safe driving speeds, and limiting the area where the vehicle can go.  Read on for more info however.<br />
 </em></p>
<div id="body">If your company runs a fleet of vehicles then you should think about having tracking systems fitted for some very good reasons.</p>
<p><br class="spacer_" /></p>
<p><em>Vehicles could be found if stolen!</em></p>
<p>If you had a vehicle stolen from your yard or anywhere the it would be possible to trace the location of that vehicle and pass on the information to the police. Also it is possible to fit an &#8216;input&#8217; into the tracking device that would alert you at your &#8216;watch&#8217; station that a vehicle was being moved without authorization this could also be set up to send you a text message so you don&#8217;t have to wake up in the morning and find a vehicle missing.</p>
<p><em>You would have a eta of vehicle without contacting driver!</em></p>
<p>If you get a phone call from a customer asking how long until the vehicle arrives you would normally let the customer listen to some music on hold and get hold of another phone and contact the driver for hs location and then take the customer off hold and give him the information. With a tracking system fitted you could stay on the phone with the customer, saving him the music, and with the click of a mouse find the vehicle location and inform the customer on the eta.</p>
<p><em>Lower mobile phone bills!</em></p>
<p>Due to the above situation you would save on phone bills when trying to locate a vehicle/driver.</p>
<p><em>Your drivers could be wasting time and getting to customers late!</em></p>
<p>Being able to trace the vehicle movement historically will reduce overtime costs and journey time by checking the route taken by the driver and debriefing them on journey route and break time duration. With overtime you would be able to confirm end job times and see if drivers are finishing early.</p>
</div>
<p>If any of these reasons seem to be for you then to have a tracking system fitted would benefit your business. It is not all about the driver there are the security benefits too. visit us at <a id="link_78" href="http://www.autonav.biz/" target="_blank">http://www.autonav.biz</a></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><em>This article discusses some of the benefits of fleet telematics and fleet navigation.Â  This is a technology that a business can receive their investment back through various ways of savings in operating costs.Â  The larger the fleet, the sooner the investment can be recouped.Â  Smaller fleets can still receive benefits from fleet navigation as well.<br />
</em></p>
<div id="body">If your company runs a fleet of vehicles then you should think about having tracking systems fitted for some very good reasons.</p>
<p><em>Vehicles could be found if stolen!</em></p>
<p>If you had a vehicle stolen from your yard or anywhere the it would be possible to trace the location of that vehicle and pass on the information to the police. Also it is possible to fit an &#8216;input&#8217; into the tracking device that would alert you at your &#8216;watch&#8217; station that a vehicle was being moved without authorization this could also be set up to send you a text message so you don&#8217;t have to wake up in the morning and find a vehicle missing.</p>
<p><em>You would have a eta of vehicle without contacting driver!</em></p>
<p>If you get a phone call from a customer asking how long until the vehicle arrives you would normally let the customer listen to some music on hold and get hold of another phone and contact the driver for hs location and then take the customer off hold and give him the information. With a tracking system fitted you could stay on the phone with the customer, saving him the music, and with the click of a mouse find the vehicle location and inform the customer on the eta.</p>
<p><em>Lower mobile phone bills!</em></p>
<p>Due to the above situation you would save on phone bills when trying to locate a vehicle/driver.</p>
<p><em>Your drivers could be wasting time and getting to customers late!</em></p>
<p>Being able to trace the vehicle movement historically will reduce overtime costs and journey time by checking the route taken by the driver and debriefing them on journey route and break time duration. With overtime you would be able to confirm end job times and see if drivers are finishing early.</p></div>
<p>If any of these reasons seem to be for you then to have a tracking system fitted would benefit your business. It is not all about the driver there are the security benefits too. visit us at <a target="_new" id="link_78" href="http://www.autonav.biz/">http://www.autonav.biz</a></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Telematics or Vehicle Telematics is a term used to define vehicles that are connected with each other and to a home base while exchanging data over a wireless technology such as GPS.Â  The practical applications that offered through vehicle telematics include vehicle tracking, trailer tracking, Cold Store Freight Logistics, Fleet management, satellite navigation, mobile data and mobile television, wireless vehicle safety communications and emergency warning systems.Â  Many of these applications can fit well into a business who uses their vehicles as a part of providing services to their clients and customers.</p>
<p>Commercial telematics historically has been the domain of businesses with large fleets of vehicles.Â  As this market saturates and service providers economize their costs, they can provide these services to businesses with smaller fleets.Â  There are many different segments of businesses that can make use of the fleet management systems that telematics services provides.Â  These target industries include: cargo containers, car-sharing programs, commercial trailers, emergency response vehicles, field service/repair fleets, government fleets, heavy equipment, intermodal shipping, long and short haul trucking, military vehicles, municipal fleets, regionally-based delivery vehicles, rental cars and trucks, school buses, taxis/limousines and transit buses and trains.</p>
<p>Business who donâ€™t maintain fleets can benefit from the technology that commercial telematics has to offer even if only the sales people or technicians are using motor vehicles as a part of their jobs.Â  Features such as vehicle tracking, when combined with mapping software, can assist the driver in locating the client, and using the shortest route to get there.Â  When a company keeps a database of the movements of their employees, over time, they will be able to come up with estimated times of arrival for their clients and customers as well as avoid traffic jams due to trouble spots (some systems offer this feature).Â  This will save wasted time on the road and increase productivity.</p>
<p>Another important feature of vehicle telematics that can save businesses money is its ability to provide security for its vehicles.Â  Many telematics service providers provide stolen vehicle tracking and shutdown features.Â  This means if the vehicle is stolen, it can be tracked and shut down remotely.Â  No matter the size of the fleet, whether it is 1 vehicle or 1000, this feature alone will lower insurance costs.</p>
<p>Some tracking systems provide a remote diagnostics feature so that the home base can know when it is time for a vehicle to come in for maintenance, or warn of potential maintenance problems.Â  This will keep the vehicle in peak performance thus saving the company the cost of more expensive repairs and savings in fuel due to more efficiently running vehicles.</p>
<p>Commercial telematics, once the domain of the big boys has very real and very key roles in smaller companies who have to use their vehicles as part of servicing their customers.Â  The biggest investment is the up-front cost of purchasing the hardware for the vehicles and the management system, which is usually a software package.Â  The ongoing costs would be accessing the communication network that allows the vehicles to communicate with the home base.Â  When choosing your service provide, first determine what features you will need for your business and select your provider based upon your needs.<br />

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><em>Here is an official government definition of telematics.  It&#8217;s just nice to give an official definition from time to time. I think telematics is the first step to Intelligent Vehicle and Highway Systems paradigm. Anyway, feel free to leave a comment.</em></p>
<p><br class="spacer_" /></p>
<p>Intelligent Vehicle and Highway Systems (IVHS) and Advanced Transport<br />
 Telematics are the names which have been used in America and Europe, respectively, to<br />
 describe  the application of information, communications, data acquisition, and control system<br />
 technologies in surface transportation. These range from mundane traffic advisory  message<br />
 signs on freeways and transit passenger information systems to visionary automated highways<br />
 where computer-controlled cars might tailgate a few feet apart at 100 mph or more.</p>
<p>IVHS technologies could reshape our communities and societies in far-reaching ways<br />
 over the next  several decades, affecting our lifestyles, environment,  economic structure, and<br />
 social equity nearly as much as  the automobile has over past decades. The fundamental<br />
 architecture and vision of IVHS established in the mid-1990s may serve as a foundation for a<br />
 technology-driven transformation with considerable consequences. We must ensure that these<br />
 technologies are harnessed to serve our long-term social, economic, and environmental goals.<br />
 This  will require much broader public participation in IVHS policy making, the establishment<br />
 of clearer performance objectives and measures for transportation management systems to<br />
 guide IVHS deployment, and broad-based assessment of the social and environmental impacts<br />
 of IVHS</p>
