Global Positioning System (GPS) is the most
popular and effective technology for fleet
management nowadays.
GPS in-vehicle device receives signal from any
3 of 24 satellites that moving along the 3
orbits to pinpoint location over electronic
map

KPI Setting
KPI Report
Example of Cost Saving in Excessive Idling
Average fuel consumption on 5.5 tons LGV is
approximately 2L / hr. in idling mode.
Cost of diesel / liter is HK$ 7.8
With effective GPS monitoring procedures, fuel
cost saving per monthly could be rely on the
following formula:
HK$ 7.8 x 2L x 2 idling hrs. x 26 days
= HK$ 811
LOGISTICS SECURITY APPLICATION
Zone Monitoring for security
• Pre-defined zone to reinforce security (GeoFencing)
• monitoring with updated status of vehicle and
goods
• Deviated from the pre-defined zone and trigger
alerts
• Acknowledged in advance for vehicle arrival
Geo-Fencing
When the vehicle enters pre-defined zone, a pop up
window will be displayed at Web UI

travel time, traffic condition
• The congestion level of roads using different
color code
• The shortest path/fastest path
• Display alerts (e.g. weather information, news)
Congestion Level
Journey Time in Shortest Path
ITS Application
• Make use of real time traffic data
• Useful and effective during traffic incidents and
updated road news
• Better allocation of fleet resources
• Save waiting time and energy
