Other technologies can also be used but they are more costly.
What is GPRS?
GPRS is required in case we want to take snaps and transfer them to the
central control room. They are not required for GPS tracking etc.
GPRS does not involve additional hardware but we need to use more
advanced GSM modules which support GPRS.
These maps are useful to locate the address of a vehicle fitted with GPS
system.
GPS-GSM system only provide the longitude and latitude of the vehicle but
GIS software if properly developed can provide details of exact or nearby
address where the vehicle is.
In case one does not have detailed GIS maps of the city it would be very
difficult to track and teach the vehicle in very short time.
IMPORTANT POINTS
• Accurate GIS Maps are available for all parts of the
world
WRONG, Accurate GIS maps like street level maps are not available for all
parts of the world. For countries in USA and Europe they are easily
available but for most other countries you need to search for their
availability.
Satellite modems are used in Vehicle Tracking systems along with GPS
Receivers because GPS Receivers cannot transfer coordinate data to control
room server via GPS satellites. Also GSM Modems can operate only in areas
where GSM network is available. For Global tracking Satellite Modems are
required along with Service plan from Satellite service provider.
These satellites are different satellites then GPS satellites. Also Many
satellite service provider offer services only in USA & Europe. Satellite
Modems and service plans are very costly and not considered cost effective
for fleet management or personal vehicle tracking operations
