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.
