Insurance discounts for fleets with vehicle tracking?

February 12th, 2009
Comments Off

This is a question that is frequently asked by our prospective clients and while it is common practice in the UK and US, it has yet to really take off with Irish Insurance companies.

At a very basic level vehicle tracking obviously offers an added security benefit should the vehicle ever be stolen, there is a much greater chance of retrieving it in one piece.

But at Transpoco we feel even more important than this is that installing vehicle tracking systems shows a willingness to manage your fleet in a safe and and more efficient manner.

Speeding, harsh braking and acceleration can be identified easily and eradicated. Also alerts on out of hours usage help monitor unnecessary / unauthorised activities should your employees take work vehicles home at the end of the day.

We are also lucky enough to have recently partnered with Heritage Insurance (www.hig.ie) who have vast experience in this area representing clients who are tracking their vehicles.

If you would like to know more please don’t heistate to contact us. www.transpoco.ie.

Port Tunnel Race

November 29th, 2006

Some of E-pire senior management will be taking part in the Port tunnel race, as seen at this link.

We love to track participants progress in races as we did a few months ago with the Cannonball race, However I am afraid we won’t get very good GPS signal in the tunnel, maybe we will track the next race we do!

GPS trails of taxi’s

Heres an interesting use of the data collected from GPS tracked taxies in San Francisco. At Cabspotting they are “trying to find and make social sense of patterns that emerge visually from the data”. The images and time lapse video look good. http://cabspotting.org/
