Taxi management tracking using GPS tracking device

And in today’s world, anyone who stops and really thinks about taxis just assumes that they all use Vehicle Tracking System China. It’s a no-brainer. A GPS tracking system and the Taxi business just go hand in hand with each other, and there are very good reasons why. Before GPS Tracking systems, communication with central control and each other ways much more difficult. Cell phones and smart phones either hadn’t been invented yet, or were not small enough and portable enough to do the job. Two way radios were about the only viable solution, and those had range limitations.

The first thing to look for on a GPS Tracker is that if it’s waterproof so it doesn’t get wet during the rainy days. Other than that a tracking device with essential features (live tracking, route history, 5–10 seconds location update and geo-fences) should do just fine. I don't know of any non-installed tracking devices that will work for much longer than ten days. They run off a battery, and like any other portable device, the batteries give out after a while. The only way a tracking device would function for three weeks is is it was either serviced or replaced with a fresh battery, or it was wired into the electrical system of your car. In the latter case, any auto tech would find it easily.

Before two way radios, taxis would queue up near busy intersections, or designated taxi stands, hoping that they would get a fare. If you needed an emergency taxi from your home, you would call the central office and wait until the next taxi went back to the office to be sent out to fetch you. Once the radios made it into the cabs, things became slightly faster, but much more dangerous. Radios that were always turned on caused annoying white noise when no one was on the system, and distracting chatter when contracts were being called out to other cabs. When phones started to make it to the market that were small enough to put in the cabs, they were often to expensive for the businesses. Whether it was a radio or a phone, receiving a call took at least one of the driver’s hands away from the wheel, and diverted his attention. We all know today that distracted driving increases the risk of an accident exponentially.

A taxi company’s central office was a hectic place, with a horde of operators receiving contracts, and then calling out on the radio system, asking for whomever was closest to the contract’s location to answer and take the fare. It was impossible to guess which car might be closest to the contract at any given time.
