Vehicle Monitoring

Where has that vehicle been and why are there extra miles on it? What’s going on under the hood and why is it getting poor mileage, and is that car, truck, or trailer allowed to enter or leave a specific property or installation? Questions like these are all related to the concept of vehicle monitoring, but effectively solving these complex questions requires specialized monitoring devices.

The issue… There’s a great need throughout the industry to be able to effectively and inexpensively monitor vehicles, both fleet and privately owned. It’s important to know whether or not they are running efficiently, are being utilized in a safe and effective manner, are traveling to and from their appropriate destinations on assigned times and dates, and are being used by an authorized operator.

The challenge… We’re facing many in the field of transportation. From the rising cost of fuel, to excessive or unauthorized usage, to a need for a heightened level of security in a post 9-11 world, vehicle monitoring can provide solutions for these complex problems, and many others.

The problem… In the last decade a handful of companies have attempted to create vehicle-monitoring devices that are inexpensive, and provide broad vehicle coverage, but with very limited success. Again, there are several stumbling blocks along the way, two of the biggest being vehicle communications issues and cost.

The solution… Leveraging our broad-based experience in the areas of vehicle diagnostics and emissions testing, Nextek brings to the table a range of compact, cost-effective, field-proven cabled and wireless vehicle monitoring devices.
