This lecture explains how satellite navigation and IoT devices enable real-time vehicle and asset tracking for fleet management, providing location and usage data and remote control.
Explore backend tracking systems for fleet management, covering on-premise and cloud deployments, SaaS options, real-time device data, trip replay, geofence alerts, and maintenance scheduling.
Explore how series and parallel circuits govern automotive electrical systems, detailing how voltage splits, current flows, and resistance shape drops, with batteries in series and parallel configurations.
Learn how events trigger positive or negative current flow in automotive circuits, turning on brake and dome lights via sensors, relays, switches, and ignition key positions.
Identify automotive circuit wires by testing battery positive and ignition circuits with a multimeter, grounding the negative probe, and tracing the blue wires with tracers using ignition on and off.
In this lesson, I will demonstrate how to install a Coban GPS-303F tracking device on a Mercedes Benz E200 (2002 model). Knowledge gained here is applicable to other vehicles.
This training will introduce you to satellite-based vehicle tracking and fleet management systems, the IoT devices, sensors, and systems employed in rendering fleet tracking services, modern automotive electrical systems, how to make good installations, fuel monitoring systems, how to work with hosted back-end tracking systems, among others. The course offers thorough explanations on the working principles, while providing detailed step-by-step practical instructions on "the how to". GPS tracker Installation skills are in high demand. Students who complete this course will acquire the hard skills that will enable them install tracking devices on any automobile.
Although the course was initially designed to train installers inhouse, the course curriculum has been revised severally to provide thorough explanations on the working principles of fleet tracking systems, how to evaluate and choose the right tracking system for any area of application, while providing special insights to enable persons saddled with the responsibility of overseeing fleet operations to plan, procure and oversee the deployment of fleet tracking systems in companies of all sizes.
Fuel monitoring systems are gaining popularity among fleet operators, in recent times. In this course you will learn the various ways fuel monitoring can be achieved. Fuel level monitoring is not always about buying expensive aftermarket fuel level sensing units - knowing the available alternatives can save you or your company huge money.
The course curriculum undergoes constant review. I will be adding more contents to the course over time. Once this is done, you will receive an email notification, if enrolled in the course.
