Why do trucks and tourist buses need GPS locators?

Because of its large size and heavy weight, trucks are very prone to accidents. Once an accident occurs, it will cause serious consequences, ranging from damage to casualties. In recent years, the news has often reported truck accidents, and every scene is terrible. Therefore, the driving safety of trucks is not only the responsibility of the owners, but also the responsibility of society. However, in addition to the safe configuration of the vehicle itself and improving the driver's awareness of safe driving, what other means can reduce truck traffic accidents? With the development of science and technology and the popularization of "internet plus", strengthening the management of freight vehicles through GPS positioning has become another important means.

Mandatory installation of global positioning system on dangerous vehicles

Due to the particularity of transport products, the transport of dangerous goods has always been the first concern of people. The team manager needs to know the situation of the vehicle at any time, and if the vehicle breaks down, he needs to respond and deal with it in time. GPS can track the position and behavior of vehicles. In case of danger or emergency, the management center can know the position of the vehicle in time, give instructions or rescue, and call the police quickly.

According to relevant information, almost all regions have strict requirements for such vehicles to be equipped with satellite positioning devices, which also stems from the Notice of the State Council on Further Strengthening the Work Safety of Enterprises jointly issued by the Ministry of Transport, the Ministry of Public Security, the State Administration of Work Safety and the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology. The circular requires all tourist chartered cars, Class III buses and roads for transporting dangerous chemicals, fireworks and civilian explosives.
