Positional information for each vehicle is provided through the use of Global Positioning System receiver which resides within the Maya on each vehicle. The Global Positioning System (GPS) is a world-wide radio-navigation system formed from a constellation of 24 satellites and their ground stations, developed and controlled by the US Department of Defence. These satellites transmit constant orbital position information, very precise time information, and any error corrections that need to be taken in consideration when making calculations based on this information. The GPS receiver in the Maya interprets the signals broadcast by at least three satellites to "triangulate" a general position. Triangulation requires the receiver to use the clock reading, location, and orbit of each satellite and mathematically determine its relative location. A fourth satellite is used for time corrections between the GPS receiver and satellite's clocks.
Storing Location
With the benefit of the onboard memory within the Maya, positional information can be stored ready for transmission to the base station. You may wish to track your vehicle every minute, or you may only want to know their positions twice a day. Whichever you choose, you can be sure that the onboard memory will pass all the positional information to you for the entire period. This helps significantly in reducing communication costs.
Additional Maya options from SafeTrac
For those who wish to realise the real savings that Maya and WebTrac or STACC can bring, then consider discussing the system's range of the base-to-vehicle communication capabilities that are provided by the Communication Module. These can range in levels of sophistication from simple in-cab displays with pre-formatted text messages for two-way message transmission to hands free voice operation with base station configured phone book.
