CIOReviewIndia TeamAccording to a report, the market size of Vehicle Tracking System will reach the expected worth of USD 14,957.5 million by the year 2025. Market for vehicle tracking system is booming at a CARG of 19.9 percent from 2018 to 2025. The prime accelerating factor for the rise in global vehicle tracking system is the adoption of intelligent transport system. The latest GPS tracking trends have helped keep drivers safe and cut down the cost by eliminating the risk of damage to the assets, people and vehicle. With the emergence of 5G, vehicle connectivity will reach new levels. Here are some of the major trends in vehicle tracking system, keeping in mind the safety of commercial vehicles and transporters:

Telematics Evolution

In today’s world that is being influenced by smart phones and wireless devices, people have the capability to get control over moving vehicle anywhere and at anytime. Vehicle tracking is made easy for the commercial vehicle and transporters as telematics monitors wide range of information that is related to an individual vehicle or to the large number of vehicles.

Monitoring behaviour of the drivers

Before the use of GPS in vehicle, drivers were free to do whatever they wanted and take breaks according to their will. Monitoring the behaviour of the drivers reduces the loss that is borne by the business because of the not so punctual behaviour of the drivers. Driver safety is the biggest issue because road accidents are more common nowadays. A study by Virginia Tech Transportation Institute says that commercial truck drivers are 23 times more likely to get into an accident as compared to someone who was not distracted.

API Integration

API integrations bridge the gap between customers and the service vehicle as it reduces the wastage of time and waiting by the customers. Improvement in the better customer relationship increases the number of satisfied customer. Food delivery vehicle uses this trend to inform their customers at what time their food will be delivered.

Photo and Video Reporting

Sending a report that includes photographs and video recording makes an issue more accurate and acceptable for the business and will help in improving customer service quality when any customer disputes an invoice.

Vehicle maintenance

Vehicle maintenance prevents truck breakdowns by managing the accurate real time data that is provided by the vehicle tracking system as a fleet manager. An unscheduled breakdown creates lots of loss to the business and to the receiver too. These problems can be resolved by using GPS to track time taken by the vehicle, idle time that it will take to reach to the destination, odometer readings and for how long engine has been running. By keeping record of all the important data, scheduled maintenance check is easy to perform. Money can also be saved by fewer breakdowns and less huge repair required at the same time. By taking these preventive measures businesses can reduce the loss incurred.
