Fleet management systems
In recent times, to address problems in fleet management and the ever expanding need to monitor usage of vehicles, commercial organisations have designed automated control systems and other approaches to vehicle management. Simple management systems can be designed in-house for internal use to provide a good analysis of the vehicles and driver performance.
Vehicle management systems are structured in a way that enables the capturing of information on various aspects of fleet usage, maintenance and operations. For example:
distances travelled;
destinations reached;
distance travelled by vehicle showing official and private mileage;
fuel consumption;
repair and maintenance per vehicle;
rate of consumption of spare parts; and
servicing planned and completed.
