Two-million dollars in grant funding will be put to work improving technology for Columbia, Missouri’s city bus transportation system, including the possible addition of a GPS tracking system to the city’s bus fleet, and the addition of natural gas powered buses.
The GPS tracking systems would allow smart phone users to view the location and arrival information of each bus.
Other technologically-advanced considerations include auto-counting of passengers and length of individual bus rides with the goal of creating a more efficient public transportation system for the city.

Another Innovative Use for GPS Tracking
According to the BBC, a Scotland man is using GPS tracking technology to track his herd of cattle, after the request was made by a local agency managing wildlife preservation. The GPS tracking project’s goal is to make the cattle’s grazing area more suitable for birds and other wildlife, in an attempt to increase their populations.
Here at TrackingTheWorld, we enjoy reading about how people put GPS tracker devices and GPS tracking software to use for their businesses and livelihoods. But one question remains…is this considered fleet tracking?

We’ve often blogged about the use of GPS trackers for municipalities, including GPS tracking for school districts and police departments. Here’s another story from Bergen County, NJ that provides an excellent example of how cities and towns are using GPS tracking systems to cut costs and increase efficiency.
In August, the county implemented the use of 100 GPS tracking systems in county vehicles and is considering the installation of 100 more. Since the county police department had previously installed GPS tracking units, the new GPS trackers were spread among multiple county departments, including the public works and parks departments.
County officials cite that they are pleased with the results of the GPS trackers, reporting that the GPS tracking units save time, and result in greater employee attention while driving a county vehicle.

Train riders in parts of India are going to get a serious upgrade to their
train system. A new GPS tracking-based passenger information system, known as the
Satellite Imaging for Rail Navigation (SIMRAN) system, will soon be giving them
real time information on the location of trains. The GPS tracking systems will be installed in the Mumbai and Howrah Rajdhanis lines. The type of information available will include the exact location, the speed and the estimated arrival time of trains, based on this information.
The system will begin with four select trains as a pilot program, though
private testing has taken place. If the system turns out to be a success it
could be installed in over 8,000 trains that connect to 8,177 stations. The
system could, in time, replace a human-managed system that relies on phone calls.

Saving cash is important in any business, and with the help of GPS tracker technology
companies that rely on a fleet of vehicles can cut their costs while simultaneously
increasing their productivity.
Case in point, Columbus Water Works recently installed a GPS tracking system
in their fleet of vehicles, and they found that this system effectively increased their productivity by about 15
percent, which allowed them to increase preventive maintenance work order
scheduling by 25 percent. That extra work, without overtime shifts or more pay
was able to reduce the fleet maintenance expenses by one quarter as well.
As anyone with a fleet of vehicles can tell you the maintenance
expenses of the vehicles is one of the biggest expenses that you can
incur. Cutting these costs with the help of GPS tracking devices represent a
significant savings.
