HOW IT WORKS

how 3dtracking works

3dtracking makes use of the latest Global Positioning System (GPS) and
mobile phone(GSM) technology in order to provide the most accurate and
real-time tracking service available:

	the tracking unit gathers location and speed data through the built-in GPS receiver
	the GSM transmitter in the tracking unit sends the data to 3dtracking
	once the data has been received by 3dtracking, a user can log in through the website and view the tracking unit's location, speed and history, as well as obtain numerous detailed and exception reports

Web-based interface

web-based interface The 3dtracking web-based interface has been designed with 1 primary objective in mind, ease-of-use combined with maximum functionality. At the click of a button a user can view the live location of one or all their vehicles, including their current speeds, odometer readings and travel status (i.e. stopped, idling or driving). For a view of any previous journeys a vehicle has travelled,the history section allows a user to display all travel between any 2 dates, detailing the start and end locations as well as speeds travelled along the way. The web-based interface is completely customisable by the user through the selection of the user's timezone, as well as their preference for kilometers or miles. This ensures that the information provided by 3dtracking is always 100% accurate and relevant. Additionally, a number of user accounts can be set up with varying levels of access allowed, giving a company the ability to distinguish between regular and administrative users.

benefits of 3dtracking

benefits of 3dtracking

Here are just a few benefits of implementing the 3dtracking solution in your business:

	reduce idle/stop time and vehicle mileage through 3dtracking's 24 hour vehicle surveillance
	locate your vehicles at any time and generate reports detailing vehicle misuse (e.g. excessive speeding or driving out of work hours)
	validate your payroll through detailed reports showing trip times and driver hours
	obtain alerts if:

	a vehicle enters a non-work related area or when a vehicle reaches its destination
	a vehicle's battery starts running flat
	a vehicle stops/idles for an excessive period of time
	a driver activates the panic button in the vehicle (panic button optional)
	a vehicle alarm activates (alarm monitoring optional)

	automatically calculate the best routes for vehicles to their destinations (routing optional)
	review a vehicle's historic mileage, speed and location data, right back to when your 3dtracking system was first installed

customization

customization

The 3dtracking system is completely customizable to every customer's needs. The location updates sent by the tracking units can range in frequency from 10 seconds to 5 minutes, and the reports and services available on the web-based interface can be added, removed or altered depending on each customer's requirements.

A business that manages a work force of mobile technicians has very different tracking requirements to a breakdown service managing their tow vehicles, and at 3dtracking we have the ability to be tailor our product to provide the best results for any type of business.

3dtracking offers a number of different tracking solutions to companies and private individuals alike. Each of the our products has been explained in a little more detail below:

vehicle tracking and fleet management

A tracking unit is discretely installed in the user's vehicle by a qualified auto-electrical engineer. The tracking unit is completely self-contained and once installed cannot be seen from either inside or outside the vehicle. The tracking unit collects all the data about a vehicle's location and speed, as well as the status of the vehicle's battery and engine. This information is then sent back to 3dtracking so that the vehicle owner can see all these details in their online account.

The tracker is also able to attach to various other sensors inside the vehicle to allow for monitoring of the vehicle's alarm, as well as to allow panic alerts, remote door unlocking and Bluetooth adaptability for in-car satellite navigation.

personal tracking

The personal tracking unit is designed to be carried in a pocket or bag/backpack. The tracker gathers information regarding the location and speed of the carrier, and then sends that data back to 3dtracking for on-line viewing through the web-based interface. A user is able to switch off the GSM capability so that the tracker records all information internally (for transmission to the 3dtracking system at a later date), and Bluetooth is included so that the tracker can be used as a Bluetooth GPS receiver.

additional information

All tracking systems rely on GPS and GPRS signals. The GPS receiver needs a direct "line of sight" contact to the satellites. Therefore it does not function properly when the vehicle is inside a building or the GPS receiver line of sight is restricted.

All units do take a few seconds to get a fix when they first move off from "cold". This is usual with GPS.

The GPRS signal is used to send the GPS data back to our controll centre. This is the same signal used by mobile phones. Therefore if the vehicle is in a bad reception area the unit will not be able to send the current GPS position.

The tracker unit transmits "activity" on a 24/7 basis. This "activity" covers every time the vehicle ignition is turned on and off. A movement sensor is mounted inside the tracking unit. This sensor will sence vehicle movements when the ehicle is unattended with the ignition off. For example sometimes a vehicle may be parked and a large vehicle may drive past and the wind movement caused may trigger a position to be recorded.

web based controll centre is to be viewed with I.E. and Java must be installed.
