The EK-Tracker device for satellite monitoring is fitted into the vehicle and connected with a GPS/GSM antenna, various sensors and CAN busbar. It constantly monitors vehicle speed, direction and location using the GPS navigation system and also data given by the sensor inside the vehicle (kilometres travelled, fuel consumption etc).

The EK-Tracker is very small, making it easy to mount it in the vehicle.

The information is sent to the central EK-Dispatch server using GPRS technology. Frequency of collecting and sending information is determined by the user’s needs and can be altered, if requested. 
At the same time, information is saved in EK-Tracker device’s internal permanent memory. 
These can accessed directly or wirelessly, if requested.

EK-Dispatch is a stationary part of the EK-Fleet system in which all the vehicle information are collected and processed, and, finally saved in the central database where they are secured and thanks to the EK-Web module accessible to users via the Internet. This part of the EK-Fleet is located in Elektrokem because it is the best way to secure its constant functioning and data safety in all circumstances.

Users of the EK-Fleet system access the information, that is, the EK-Dispatch server via the Internet using a standard Internet browser or a specially designed application, the EK-Manager. The customers can manage the information given in real time or subsequently using their own computers where they can generate reports about the exact vehicle destinations, speed, amount of time the vehicle spent in a particular (user chosen and defined) area, entrances in forbidden areas, speed limit exceeding and so on.

The information is given in a format suitable for further processing using all the standard programming tools and can be adapted to particular user’s needs, whether it be graphical or textual information display.

The system contains detailed vector road maps of Croatia. They enclose all major cities and enable monitoring objects even on street level.

Another textual way of getting information about objects are text messages (SMS) which are sent as a reply to SMS upit (SMS query) about the location or automatically to predefined numbers from time to time. Also, they are sent in case of a predefined vehicle occurrence or its particular location.

Vehicle location is in this way described by vehicle speed and direction, and also by the street name in which the object is located.
