Automated Vehicle Location (AVL)

Automated Vehicle Location (AVL) is a technology that uses GPS and other sensors to track the real-time position of a vehicle. It allows fleet managers, public transit agencies, or transportation companies to monitor where vehicles are at any given moment, improve routing, ensure safety, and enhance service efficiency. The system transmits location data to a central computer, making it easier to coordinate operations, provide accurate arrival estimates to customers, and respond quickly to issues. AVL helps optimize transportation services by providing precise, up-to-date vehicle location information.
