This document discusses how GPS systems can be used to track company vehicles. It provides examples of how GPS can help enforce policies, optimize routing, calculate accurate mileage, and increase accountability. The document explains that GPS uses satellites and wireless networks to pinpoint vehicle locations. It then shows how location and other data is transmitted to a company's servers to be viewed on maps and reports. Examples of maps and reports are displayed. The document discusses potential cost savings from using GPS for scheduling, identifying unauthorized trips, insurance rates, and workman's compensation costs. It provides an example of how one company saved over $1400 annually on their workman's compensation costs by implementing a GPS tracking system costing $880 in the first year.

3. Why GPS ?
• Enforce company safety and speed limit policies
• Recognize significant fuel cost savings
• Identify unauthorized travel
• Cut down on vehicle maintenance expense
• Address overtime and idle-time issues
• Measure time of each stop
• Collect an accurate record of the time, date and location of
every trip
• Optimize routing, improve safety, reduce overhead and
improve customer service
• Automate state by state mileage calculation
• Increase accountability of vehicles and drivers

4. HOW GPS Works
• GPS uses both Satellites and wireless
networks to pinpoint vehicle location.
• Information is transmitted to the
companies offices via the wireless
network.
• GPS information is then converted to
location, speed and heading and
displayed on the map or in the reports.

5. The OBi System uses information from
the GPS satellites to provide accurate
location information.
The GPS antenna receives the data from
the satellites and forwards it to the
compact RSB unit mounted in the vehicle.
The RSB will then convert the GPS data
into location, speed, heading, and time
information.
The RSB sends the information through
the wireless networks to the OBi Server.
The OBi Server is located at the user’s
facility and can be accessed by anyone
with the OBi System software.
User’s can access the OBi System to view
location information on a street level map
and can also access OBi Reports to
generate any one of the reports provided.
