When people think of Vehicle Tracking Systems, the first thing that usually comes to mind is real-time location updates. And while that’s a core function, modern systems, like those offered by Prohori, one of Bangladesh’s leading GPS tracking services, come packed with many additional features. Most users are unaware that these systems provide sophisticated features to significantly increase vehicle security, operational effectiveness, and fuel efficiency. This blog post will explore five often overlooked yet highly potent hidden features of vehicle tracking systems.
1. Geo-Fencing: Create Smart Zones for Better Control
Setting virtual boundaries around particular regions, such as your workplace, a school zone, a neighborhood with a high crime rate, or even your own house, is possible with the help of the effective technique known as geo-fencing. The device instantly notifies your dashboard or phone when your car enters or exits specified zones.
- Why It’s Useful: You can make sure your car stays where it should be using geo-fencing. Businesses with delivery trucks or transportation fleets will find this extremely useful. To keep an eye on driver conduct and make sure they stick to designated routes, you might establish zones around delivery locations or restricted regions.
- Real-World Example: A delivery company in Dhaka uses geo-fencing to track when vehicles enter customer locations. This helps automate delivery logs and improve customer service. Geo-fencing is also helpful for personal vehicle owners who want to monitor whether their teenage child takes the car outside a particular area.
- Prohori Advantage: Because Prohori’s GPS tracking system makes geo-fencing easy with the help of the mobile app, it’s ideal for both personal and professional use.
2. Remote Ignition & Engine Shut-Off Alerts
Remotely turning off the car’s engine is one of the most underappreciated advantages of sophisticated vehicle tracking systems. In the event of a theft, this could save your life. As soon as you detect unauthorized movement, you can send a command to the tracking device to cut off the engine when the vehicle comes to a stop. Prohori’s system can also notify you when the engine is turned on or off. This gives you real-time insight into vehicle use, even when you’re not around.
- Why It’s Useful: If your vehicle is stolen or used without permission, you don’t have to rely on the police alone. Remote engine shut-off gives you a powerful tool to stop the vehicle before it gets too far.
- Real-World Example: A vehicle rental company in Chattogram frequently had issues with clients driving outside of allowed areas. Using ignition alerts and remote shut-off reduced unauthorized usage by 70%.
- Prohori Advantage: Our remote engine cut-off system is easy to use and comes with security layers to prevent accidental shutdowns.
3. Fuel Monitoring and Theft Detection
Fuel is one of the most significant ongoing costs for personal vehicles and commercial fleets. But did you know that modern vehicle tracking systems can monitor fuel levels and detect unusual drops? Prohori’s GPS tracking solutions can be integrated with fuel sensors to provide real-time data. This device will alert you right away if the gasoline level drops too low or if someone tries to take it.
- Why It’s Useful: Fuel theft and waste can lead to major losses, especially in fleet operations. Monitoring fuel levels in real-time lets you identify problems and track fuel usage patterns.
- Real-World Example: A logistics company operating between Dhaka and Khulna cut its monthly fuel costs by more than 15% after identifying a driver involved in persistent gasoline theft. The company was informed each time the gasoline level dropped far below the expected level.
- Prohori Advantage: We provide cutting-edge tracking systems with gasoline sensors for businesses trying to cut costs.
4. Analysis of Driving Behavior
If you knew someone often drove too fast or braked too hard, would you still trust them with your car? Driver behavior is monitored by Prohori’s car monitoring system, which analyzes information such as:
- Shock-absorbing braking
- Quick acceleration
- Moving too fast
- A lot of idle time
- Quick turns
Fleet owners can use this data to ensure drivers use their vehicles responsibly.
- Why It’s useful: Monitoring driver behavior helps improve safety and reduce accidents. It also contributes to better fuel efficiency.
- Real-World Example: A ride-sharing firm in Sylhet used driving behavior reports to reward its safest drivers and teach those with unsafe driving patterns. Over three months, they experienced a 25% decrease in accidents and complaints.
- Prohori Advantage: Fleet managers can use our technology to make well-informed judgments regarding driver performance by receiving comprehensive weekly data.
5. Vehicle Maintenance Alerts and Health Monitoring
Although it’s simple to overlook service dates, routine auto maintenance can prolong the life of your vehicle or fleet. The Prohori maintenance alert system can help with that. It automatically notifies you when your car needs maintenance by monitoring mileage, engine run time, and other metrics.
- Why It’s useful: It records engine data and alerts you to problems such as low battery voltage, coolant temperature, or oil pressure.
- Real-World Example: Utilizing Prohori’s maintenance notifications resulted in a significant reduction in breakdowns for a transport operator in Rajshahi. Timely oil changes and engine inspections resulted in reliable travel and fewer customer complaints.
- Prohori Advantage: Using our platform to care for your cars is hassle-free.
Vehicle tracking systems are more intelligent thanks to these hidden features.
