•  Vehicle Tracking

The Alkan Telecom Vehiclel Management solutions are a GPS based vehicle tracking system. The term ‘vehicle' is used in the generic sense referring to either a motor vehicle (car, truck, locomotive, taxi etc), a vessel (cargo vessel, tanker, supply vessel, semi-submersible drilling rig, jack-up rig, construction barge etc) or an aircraft (aeroplane or helicopter).

Alkan Telecom offers a complete management system insofar as multiple vehicles can be positioned, tracked and displayed in real-time at any desired location. Positions are displayed on a PC computer running Geographical Information System (GIS) software, hence relevant background data can be shown in reference to the vehicle locations.

The system obtains an accurate position from a satellite based Global Positioning System (GPS), which provides world-wide 24 hour coverage from a system of high orbit satellites.

The communications link for transmitting position information from the vehicle can be via radio (HF, UHF, VHF, trunked radio), cellular telephone, or satellite link, whichever suits the application or environment.

The management display system utilises MapInfo, a Geographic Information System (GIS), to provide a detailed map or geographic display overlaid with the vessel location by utilising specifically written software routines to interface the GPS data and then incorporate it within MapInfo.

Alkan Telecom allows its flexible design to be configured to meet individual company requirements in the oil & gas industry.
