The GPS Vehicle Tracking system will use SpeedGauge’s database of U.S. speed limits to notify users in real time when VTS GPS-equipped vehicles exceed posted speed limits.

With the use of the SpeedGauge Module, GPS fleet tracking and speed monitoring has never been easier. Vehicle Tracking Solutions customers will be alerted whenever a vehicle exceeds posted speed limits by a “speeding” icon in the Silent Passenger application, an e-mail or text notification, and a historical report which details all speed violations. GPS truck tracking can be a valuable tool to companies with fleet of vehicles of 10 or more.

What sets SpeedGauge apart from the rest is; current speed notification systems offered by GPS tracking providers allow users to set a single threshold to monitor speed. Most users will set this threshold for the state speed limit, to monitor speeding on highways and parkways. Many more options are available to set multiple speed limits based on the posted speed limit signs. Unfortunately, this will not alert a company when their vehicles are exceeding posted speed limits in residential areas, which can expose a company to potential liability.
