Colin Ferguson, managing director of fleet and optimisation at Trakm8 demonstrated this by explaining how their system operates: “Our devices send a signal over the air every minute, every 1,000 metres and every time a vehicle or asset changes direction by 30 degrees or more, ensuring that users are provided with the most up-to-date information as frequently as possible. This data is then instantly available via the web portal.”
