GPS technology dates back to the 1990s, making use of orbiting satellites to allow the tracking of objects on the Earth’s surface. Often, GPS is used so that a driver can find accurate directions to go somewhere, but GPS’s applications are broader than that. Fleet management is possible with fleet GPS tracking systems, a vital part of the larger geospatial data analysis industry. Many Canadian cities today have their own fleet of commercial vehicles, most often snow plows, and these commercial vehicles need coordination. If a city like Montreal gets heavy snow that blocks traffic, commercial vehicles must arrive on the scene at once to clear it all away. With the aid of GPS and a team of geospatial data analysis experts, these commercial vehicles can get an efficient job done every time. How does this work? And what else can GPS be used for?
