1. Introduction to VM TRACE
Geographical Information System (GIS) allows users to envision the geographical aspects of a body of data. Users can query or analyze data and receive results in the form of graphical maps. Since many kinds of data have important geographical aspects, GIS applications have many applications: logistics planning, sales analysis, resource management, performance benchmark etc.
VM launched its SG version in January 2002 and designed it to be easily accessible by end-users through use of legends and color schema employed by popular published directories. The software has flexibility of rendering raster-based images as well as industry standard vector files (i.e. Mapinfo, Autodesk, Arcinfo) allowing the reuse of previous investments in surveys and cartographic design.
Through the use of Singapore's unique postal code system, VM Trace ™ is able to visually represent virtually hundreds of locations in a matter of seconds. This is particularly powerful as it allows enterprises to analyze their data in a new dimension.
VM Trace™ is an extension of VM Geographical Information System (VM SPACE) which incorporates a range of GPS tracking devices that enable users to monitor on a real-time basis the location of its workforce and assets.
2. System Overview
GPS Tracking products are grouped into two distinct categories:-In-Vehicle electronics include proprietary hardware electronics for tracking a vehicle or pinpointing an individual exact location anywhere on the globe, as well as control capabilities for managing motors on the vehicle such as door locks, fuel pump shutoff etc.
- In-Vehicle Electronics Hardware
- Base Station Mapping and Control Applications Software.
Base Station applications software allows the user full access and control over the in-vehicle electronics hardware. Sophisticated map displays allow the user to overlay the vehicles position and/or route traveled on a city or highway map. In addition, the base application can be used to alert the operator to significant events such as a theft-in-progress. User controllable features such as real-time tracking of the vehicle and the ability to remotely disable the vehicle engine or unlock the doors are just a few examples of what is possible using this technology.
