Vehicle Tracking Device
How does the
Maya work?
The Maya
vehicle tracking device provides
three main functions:
- Providing position information (via
the on-board GPS)
- Storing that position information
until it is needed (stored in the on-board memory)
- Transmitting that position from
vehicle to website or base-station (via GPRS)
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 you 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.
Your personnel
and asset security concerns can also be addressed by the Maya's
Security Module. This comprises of an in-cab panic button.
