Real-time urban transportation service tracking and monitoring

In today´s corporate world, many small businesses, as well as big commercial companies, manage small or large number of vehicles on which their business depends on. One of the main factors in leading an efficient business proved to be commanding a fleet of vehicles in the best and most efficient way. This basically means providing the route, which takes the shortest trip time from point A to point B with the lowest gas consumption. The biggest expenditure for these kinds of companies is the cost of gas, due to its large consumption and abuse. To lower expenses connected with time of travel and gas usage, GPS tracking is the best way to go. By using OpenGTS system, companies are immediately provided with the tool which is enabling them to have an overview of the whole state of their fleet of vehicles, their position, driving speed, their previous speeds and stops, routes they are driving and many more. Also, it automatically provides a security system that will keep the fleet safe. This paper will provide an overview of the open source OpenGPS Tracking System, all of its requirements and possibilities, and present them on a simulation of real-time urban transportation monitoring.
