2 System Overview

2.1 Overview

The entire purpose behind a fleet management system is to be able to remotely contact a vehicle, determine its location or status, and do something meaningful with

that information. This could include displaying the vehicle location on a map, performing an address look-up, providing real-time driving directions, updating the

vehicles ETA, monitoring vehicle and driver status or dispatching the vehicle to its next pick up.

These functions, of course, are completely dependent on the capabilities of the vehicle management application. The role of the CalAmp LMU-5541™ is to deliver

the location information when and where it is needed.

A typical fleet management system based on a CalAmp device includes the following components:

A wireless data network

An LMU-5541™

Host Device (GPS NMEA only)

An LM Direct™ communications server

Backend mapping and reporting software which typically includes mapping and fleet reporting functions
