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-2x30™ 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-2x30™
• Host Device (GPS NMEA only)
• An LM Direct™ communications server
• Backend mapping and reporting software which typically includes mapping and fleet
reporting functions
• PULS™
• LMU Manager™
