A Real time locating system for local fleet management

Abstract Local locating systems are necessary where a big number of units are handled. In this case, we propose a management system for parking spaces for vehicles that are distributed among eight different-sized lots on a 1.8 million square meter premises. In order to quickly locate each particular vehicle in this area, a new real time location system (RTLS) has been successfully installed. The vehicle location system Moby-R automatically monitors every vehicle movement and tracks its current parked position. All the vehicles are given a data carrier which is attached to the inside rear-view mirror with a special hanger, precisely locating the vehicle within approximately five meters
