Abstract: An automatic vehicle locator (AVL) is an IoT application widely used in companies and organizations for the safety and security management of their mobile assets, such as vehicles, engines, ships, equipment, etc. AVL is generally used to track and locate assets in real-time as an essential function, using the global positioning system or GPS. The application relies on the extensive mapping that has been done to support GPS-based applications and satellite services. AVL has many benefits, such as assets utilization, optimization, and maintenance of historical data records, among others. The application creates a specific user interface to locate and track a mobile object on a map quickly. The AVL systems (AVLs) provide organizations with a tool to optimize their fleet by giving an overview of how the vehicles are used, and can be relocated within the organization based on the organization’s needs. Moreover, AVLs track the assets in real-time, which contribute significantly to the security and safety of the people during emergencies situation. AVL systems have a specific module for the maintenance with alerts for a periodical check-up to keep the assets healthy.
Keywords: AVL, global positioning system, fleet management.
