route
allocation
•The system saves trip history, &
from the historical data, one
can select the most efficient
route.
•This save fuel costs, travel
time, & enhances customer’s
satisfaction while providing safe
& calm journey.
•The system stores details
of journey like stops, travel
time, fuel stations, garage etc

data is helpful to predict the
Estimated Time of Arrival (ETA)
to a particular location &
inform the tourist the same. It
provides details regarding
accommodation, medical
services, food places, etc. &
keep tourists

The system provides ‘Live
Location’ & ‘Live Tracking’ of every
vehicle in the fleet,
simultaneously. By knowing the
location of vehicle, its expected
time of arrival to a certain
location, managers can recognise
the vehicle that is nearest to
specific tourists & allot them the
vehicle. This can save time,
enhance customer satisfaction &
optimises the productivity
of fleet.

same system. Each user
can be assigned to
manage different set of

Also, incidents like tourist getting lost, especially in
forests or adventure zones can be avoided with GPS
tracking helping managers to track the lost vehicles.
