Tracking & geofencing use case with satellite coverage

February 23, 2021

2066 white zones have been identified exclusively in France (as a reminder, these isolated zones have no network coverage). As a result, many companies with a fleet of vehicles lack visibility regarding their operations and the conditions of their goods. Tracking mobile assets is difficult, as drivers cross mountainous areas without network coverage for instance. These issues are common in Energy, Oil & Gas and Transportation sectors. The IoT/Sat technology provides the possibility to have real time tracking and insights on all types of vehicles, even in the most isolated places.

Recurring problems

Uninterrupted fleet monitoring (numerous trips through white zones)
Route optimization (time estimation, choice of the best route…)

Optimizing fuel consumption to reduce emissions
Response time in case of technical problems or emergencies

Challenges & goals

Track a fleet of vehicles without interruption, in real time & in areas without network coverage
Optimize routes and reduce environmental impact

Define geofencing zones (when a vehicle exits/enters a specific zone)

Ressources

IoT/Sat permanent & reliable connection
Sensors installed on mobile assets

Itineraries supervision via LiberTee interface
Alert raising thanks to bidirectional connection integrated to HIoTee products

Results

Permanent mobile asset traceability
Adaptation of routes in real time

Estimation of travel time for a better fleet management
Real-time alerts for entrances/exits in specific zones
