A VEHICLE MANAGEMENT SYSTEM

This paper describes a vehicle fleet management system. The system uses Global Positioning System (GPS) and an axle-driven odometer to determine the vehicle location. The data is compressed and stored on the vehicle, and a low power packet radio interface is used to download the data to a computer which maintains a database of all vehicle movements. The system is advantageous because the wireless interface used to download the data is license exempt.
