Abstract

This article deals with and describes the issue of truck logistics analysis using GPS localization technology. Nowadays, it is still a progressive technology that works on the principle of data collection in real-time, so its results are up to date. The Mapon program is used for the evaluation and analysis of this issue. It analyzes selected monitored parameters such as route planning, fuel consumption, driver behavior, breaks, breakdowns, etc. Based on this program, it is possible to optimize parameters and preferentially reduce the costs associated with the transportation of cargo or avoid the movement of freight vehicles empty, which results in inefficient transport and underutilization of resources, and economic loss. Creating a report is the main task of this program, which will be described in the article. The article will discuss a GPS tracking system’s other uses and benefits: operational planning, anti-theft, assistance services, and real-time truck location. Thanks to this option, the ability to guide the driver according to the requirements and also faster assistance in an emergency.
