The
SafeTrac Tracer 100
is a more cost effective
GPS vehicle tracking system and smaller alternative to the SafeTrac Tracer 300.
It is a vehicle tracking device that uses GPS, and GPRS or GSM technologies
to pass locations back to WebTrac or STACC Basestation software. It can
detect ignition messages and perform Geofence operations, but unlike SafeTrac
Tracer 300, does not link into the Engine Management
System. Suitable for cars and vans.
Hardware
The
small 22mm x 80mm size of the SafeTrac Tracer
100 hardware means it can be used in small vehicles such
as vans and cars. It is also being used for earth moving plant and
static machinery. The SafeTrac Tracer 100
can be connected to the ignition to detect engine on/off and idling.

How
does the SafeTrac Tracer 100 GPS Vehicle Tracking System work?
The SafeTrac Tracer 100 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 base-station (via the unique STACC
communication protocols)
Positional information for
each vehicle is provided through the use of Global Positioning System
receiver which resides within the SafeTrac Tracer 100 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 vehicle tracking system receiver in the SafeTrac Tracer 100 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 on-board memory within the SafeTrac
Tracer 100, positional information can be stored ready
for transmission to the base station. The frequency with which you
communicate with your assets is very much your choice.
You may
wish to track you vehicle every 2 minutes, or you may only want to know
their positions twice a day. Whichever you choose, you can be sure that
the on-board memory will pass all the positional information to you for
the entire period. The SafeTrac Tracer 100
stores it all until you need it. We have clients whose vehicles are on
the continent for an entire week - the routes they take are then
downloaded when they return and analysed. This costs them a single
2-minute call to the vehicle. Imagine - 2 weeks of tracks for the cost
of 1 phone call! Nice I am sure you will agree, Use the form for further information about the Tracer 100 GPS Vehicle Tracking System.
