Understanding Automatic Vehicle Locators

Automatic Vehicle Locator (AVL) systems use GPS and other technologies to track vehicles in real-time and relay their locations to a control center. AVL systems determine the precise location of each vehicle and display it on a computer screen along with other information like status, heading, and speed. GPS satellites are the primary means of determining a vehicle's position using trilateration to calculate the location from signals from multiple satellites. AVL systems benefit applications like fleet management, emergency response, and cargo transport by providing real-time vehicle monitoring and alerts.

Introduction
Automatic Vehicle Locator (AVL) is a computer –
based vehicle tracking system

The actual real –time position of each vehicle is


determined and relayed to a control center

AVL systems include: computer -aided dispatch


software, mobile data terminals, emergency alarms,
and digital communications
What is AVL Technology?
AVL systems use satellite and land communications to
display each vehicle's
 location
 status
 heading
 speed on the computer's
screen.
AVL System
Navigation Technologies
• There are four types of NAVIGATION
TECHNOLOGIES:-

 Global Positioning System

 Dead-Reckoning System

 Signpost Systems

 Radio Navigation Systems


About GPS:
The Global Positioning System (GPS) is a
space-based satellite navigation system that
provides location and time information in all
weather, anywhere on or near the Earth, where
there is an unobstructed line of sight to four or
more GPS satellites.

GPS Satellite
MORE ABOUT GPS…..
• There are six different orbiting
patterns that the GPS satellites
follow, making a complete trip
around the earth every 12 hours.
MORE ABOUT GPS…..
 The best position for any
GPS antenna is generally
as high as possible with the
best unrestricted view.

 The information regarding


the location of the transit
vehicle is calculated
by TRILATERATION method.
TRACKING SYSTEMS
There are two types of tracking systems

 PASSIVE TRACKING

 REAL TIME TRACKING


WORKING OF A GPS BASED AVL:

 GPS SATELLITES

 RADIO SYSTEMS

 DISPATCH SECTION

 CUSTOMER ASSISTANCE
UNIT
A GPS BASED AVL sYSTEM
MAPPING
Maps allow a tangible, understandable view of
vehicles location and will also allow operators to
apply local knowledge.
CURRENT LIMITATION OF
EXISTING METHOD

User compulsory needs a computer to access lost


vehicle information.

User cannot decode GPS coordinates by himself.


AVL Benefits:
Uses Of AVL
Vehicle location display in real-time.

 Recording of arrival and departure times (proof of

delivery etc).

Monitoring of driving practices (speed).

Alerts if vehicle leaves or enters a defined area.


Applications Of AVL
In Military

Track Anything

In Cargo

In cargo
Conclusion
By using GPS we can track the location of the vehicle

It is a cost effective and efficient technique

It gives protection to the vehicles and also the accident
