Fleet management involves optimally planning, supervising, and controlling fleet operations using available resources while considering internal and external factors. It focuses on integrating organizational processes with modern information systems. Fleet management systems allow companies to track vehicles using GPS, monitor speed and idle time, plan routes, manage drivers, track assets, and generate various reports. They provide advantages such as improved productivity, reduced costs, enhanced safety, and more transparent transport operations.

4. Industry Overview

6.  Monitoring the location of a truck, car or
any moving vehicle using the GPS system.
Vehicle tracking systems are commonly
used by fleet operators for fleet
management functions such as fleet
tracking, routing, dispatching, on-board
information and security
GPS Vehicle Tracking

7.  Streamline and control supply chains
 Monitor vehicle speed
 Monitor in-transit idle time
 Vehicle Planning
Applications

8.  Route Planning
 Track vehicle fleets
 Driver Management
 Research on various alarms
 Monitor assets
 Prevent inventory loss
Applications

9.  Avoid major accidents through speed management
 Avoid theft of vehicles through real time tracking
 Avoid fuel theft through sensor based alarms
Safety Tracking

10. Route Planning
 Route Planning is the working out of the
best route for cost effective distribution that
will minimize any distances travelled with
minimal stopovers along the way.
 It is the most efficient plan to serve a
number of orders

11.  Scope of routing procedure is to produce an efficient plan of routes,
taking under consideration all the aforementioned parameters, that
minimizes a given objective function.
Scope/Objectives of Route Planning
Objective Function Examples of conflicting objective functions
 Minimization of the total distance travelled  Increase of total duration, overtimes
 Minimization of the total duration of
routes  Increase of vehicles, other costs
 Minimization of the number of vehicles
needed  Increase of total distance and duration
 Maximization of capacity (both in capacity
and time) of vehicles  Increase of overtimes

12.  Schedule Control Report
 Asset Control Report
 Location Control Report
 Alarm Control Report
 Driver’s Performance Report
Scope / Reporting

13.  Improves productivity and maximize driver satisfaction
 Reduce operating costs and Increase profitability
 Speed up logistics activities and deliveries
 Better communication between local ops team
 Enhance safety and breakdown recovery
 Transparency of all the transport events
 Cut accidents and fuel usage, two of the largest fleet spend categories
