Ensure Timely First Response, Monitor Maintenance, Increase Safety and Reduce Overhead Costs
The local government is responsible for tracking many different types of public safety vehicle fleets—from cars and trucks to planes, helicopters and ships. A number of different technologies can automate tracking of these high dollar assets, including GPS and Telemetry.
GPS can allow forces to automatically track many high dollar assets in real time. GPS enables a wide range of location-based and mission critical applications. For example, geo-stamps provide proof that a caseworker or officer was at the right location at the right time. Mileage and routes can be automatically tracked, eliminating the need for workers to prepare tedious weekly coverage reports.
Also, real-time directions ensure prompt arrival for emergency situations, in spite of a traffic jam, improving first response.
Tracking officers' locations in the field helps improve security supervisors can determine if an officer has been in a location too long and may have encountered trouble. As a result, officers and city workers are safer and more productive to deliver better service to their constituents. Additionally, when GPS data is received from trailers, trucks and more, the location, time and date can be automatically recorded when the asset passes through a predefined geo-fence.
When telematics is integrated into the truck fleet via SafeMobile's telemetry solutions, agencies have the visibility into real-time driving behavior and routes required to minimize fuel use and vehicle wear and tear. The result is the ability to monitor not only safety compliance, but the condition and location of these valuable fleets in real time, helping agencies improve utilization, the total cost of ownership (TCO) and the return on investment (ROI).
