The GPS Advantage

 

 

        For airport shuttle transportation operations, GPS [global positioning satellite] offers the potential to increase efficiency and provide convenience for customers. Indeed, GPS systems can translate into better service and more cost-effective transportation solutions. We are excited to announce that Rocket Parking has installed new fleet tracking GPS systems in all of our shuttle busses. Take a look at some of the advantages to shuttles with GPS systems:

·         Efficient. GPS systems allow drivers to review current route times for traffic and accidents. The GPS system will automatically reroute drivers around the traffic in order to get customers to their destination in a time efficient manner.

·         Improve productivity. All drivers will now be accounted for, making it easier for managers to see where they are and when they will return to pick up customers.

·         Reduce fuel costs. By optimizing routes and reducing idle driving, GPS systems aid in reducing fuel costs.

·         Advance response time. If the GPS notifies drivers that a route will take longer than normal, they will be able to respond with speed and efficiency. This proactive approach will reduce potential customer wait time.

·         Safety. If a shuttle breaks down or gets in an accident, Rocket Parking is able to see precisely where it is located in order to send assistance as quickly as possible.
