2 System Overview
2.1 Overview
The entire purpose behind a fleet management system is to be able to remotely contact a vehicle, determine its
location or status, and do something meaningful with that information. This could include displaying the vehicle
location on a map, performing an address look-up, providing real-time driving directions, updating the vehicles
ETA, monitoring vehicle and driver status or dispatching the vehicle to its next pick up.
These functions, of course, are completely dependent on the capabilities of the vehicle management
application. The role of the CalAmp LMU-3xx™ is to deliver the location information when and where it is
needed.
A typical fleet management system based on a CalAmp device includes the following components:
A wireless data network
An LMU-3xx™
Host Device (GPS NMEA only)
An LM Direct™ communications server
Backend mapping and reporting software which typically includes mapping and fleet reporting
functions
PULS™
LMU Manager™
