Auto-tracking devices meant to track down missing vehicles at the click of a button will soon be available in the state.
Introduced by Auto Track Systems India Limited, the system will help police as well as motorists monitor vehicles.
"One person can monitor many things at the click of a button," said Kamal Jadhwani, managing director, Auto Track systems India Limited.
Any vehicle with I-track device, if goes missing, can instantly be traced on web. While this tracking system is helpful to the police, M-track works as a personal tracking system with which individuals can track their vehicles.
How it works
While I-track device is used four-wheelers, M-track devices can be used not just for tracing vehicles, but it can be fitted to other objects like laptops, mobiles and even school bags of kids.
Information on I-track system is constantly displayed in auto track website. Police can easily track down missing vehicles using this system.
It also has Geo-fencing facility, where an alert is made if the vehicle crosses prescribed geo-fence area.
M-track system will be connected to the mobile phone of an individual user. This will keep him constantly updated about the position of the object that has M-track device. The system is based on RFI (Radio Frequency Identification) technology. Wireless telecom network is used in which most parts of country is covered.
Cost effective?
While an I-track device costs Rs 22,000, M-track device costs Rs 21,000. But if I-track devices are installed by the state government, Auto Track Systems may decrease the price.
"We are holding talks with the state government. The government has considered our proposal to introduce this system in the state. At first we plan to have this technology as a pilot project in selected 1,000 vehicles," said Manjunath T A, manager, Melcole Communications, which is working with Auto Track Systems.
