How often do vehicle locator of CARTRACK GPS need update?
Updating of vehicle coordinates a combination of event and time changes, such as:
-- Every time the switch is turned off–on, start the engine. -- Every 3 km of straight driving -- a change of direction beyond 10 degrees. -- Stationary for longer than specified. -- When the speed is overdue, and after every 5 km/ speed change, it will be recorded. -- Sudden acceleration, harsh cornering and braking
What will happen if it is outside mobile phone network area, vehicle tracking is still working?
When being out of mobile signal area, Cartrack's GPS devices retain up to 5,000 records of vehicle events and locations. The data saved in the memory unit of the GPS device is saved up to the server when the device is back to the area with mobile signal. The data will then be processed as well.
Fuel monitoring. How accurate is CARTRACK's fuel level monitoring graph? How does it work?
Fuel Theft in Thailand rate is highly increasing in commercial trucks with fuel tanks of 250 liters or more. Cartrack tabs the sensor to the cable of fuel tank float valve. Therefore, the accuracy will be about 95%, Cartrack needs to know the volume and shape of the fuel tank. After that, there are two options to calibrate the parameters to form an fuel graph. Option one, have Cartrack team pump fuel in and out to measure the voltage at the low-maximum oil level for 3 rounds, which will take a few hours. Or option two, if you are unable to pump fuel in and out for any reason, you will be asked to have a wait-up to the warning light (minimum) and fill it up (maximum level) for 3 rounds as well.Do notrefuel when the fuel level in the tank is in half or not full because the initial parameter readings will be completely distorted.
How does DID (Driver ID) work?
Some vehicle that is reserved for some particular drivers, CARTRACK will use driver ID tag reader in the vehicle. When the driver taps their ID tag on the reader, the information is sent to the CARTRACK system to allow the engine start. If the ID tag is not set or an ID tag signal does not match, the reader will give a warning sound until it is correct.
What variables does Cartrack use on driving behaviour alert?
a) Hit the brakes hard at 0.4G. b) Cornering force at 0.34G c) Exert at 0.4G
What does signal light indicating driver behavior mean?
Red – Risky behavior, warning required. Yellow – acceptable, but special attention required. Green – Good driving, safe standard
Does the mileage of CARTRACK system match the car mileage?
They are not always matching because the mileage on the CARTRACK fleet system counts when the GPS-satellite can track movement of vehicle. Measuring with satellite signal far from the earth's surface can cause a deviation of 2-3% from the actual vehicle mileage.
How to correct these different mileage numbers?
Once a year, contact CARTRACK customer service center to provide the current mileage of the car. Cartrack will record the numbers through the cloud system to resynchronize.
What to do if you want the mileage on the CARTRACK fleetweb matching the car mileage?
The two mileage points can be matched using the CAN bus system.
Is there a spare battery in a GPS device? How long does it last?
GPS devices are usually powered by car batteries. In case of GPS device's backup battery is used, the GPS device will last 4-5 hours in an active mode.
How accurate of vehicle location is?
+/- 5 meters
What is Fleet Tracking?
Fleet tracking is the management system using GPS to monitor the activity of tracked assets which are cars, trucks, field workers as well as equipments. Vehicle tracking uses telematics technology to collect data from vehicles counted as assets. All data will be collected in real-time (while in use). This is very useful for managers who need data for strategic operation decision (for example, which vehicle will be assigned the jobs, where is the nearest crane, how many eletricity generators do we have on the site, route planning for work, etc).
