Offline GPS tracking system is a valuable solution for industries like freight systems and transportation fleets. It’s a GPS application. LoRa offline tracking system is perfect for dedicated and limited areas.
As the name indicates, it doesn’t require any communication protocol or Internet connection. More importantly, it’s a cost-effective GPS tracking system.
How Does Offline Tracking System Work?
Tracking system records and process data on geographical location, distance traveled by cars, individuals, transport fleets, and speed and direction. Once the registration is done, you can analyze and monitor the information and compare it with previous reports.
For example, car tracking has special applications such as urban taxi services, urban buses, commercial fleets, and repair services. All these vehicles contain a GPS tracker that can help you monitor the vehicle at any time.
As mentioned, the recorded information or data include permissible driving duration and permitted speed and can help find stolen and defective cars.
Benefits of Using GPS Tracking System in Transportation System
- Optimize routes
- Reduce operating costs
- Reduce fuel use and costs
- Notice the speed of the vehicle
- Notify the exact location of the vehicle on the map
Two Major Types of Tracking Systems
Let’s discuss the two major tracking systems:
Offline Tracking System
In these tracking systems, a GPS module locates and records time data in local device memory. Offline tracking devices come with internal storage memory. Meanwhile, some tracking devices have removable memory.
In LoRa offline GPS, data is transmitted via wireless to a gateway.
It gives you real-time information, but the subject should be within range and vicinity of the LoRa gateway. If the object is out of range of the LoRa gateway, then the data will be stored in the memory and can be accessed in the future.
Online Tracking System
As the name indicates, GPS information is sent through LTE, 5G, or cellular technology in such tracking systems. It provides real-time data, so it’s easy to recognize stops, speeds, and paths of objects.
But the problem is all organizations and companies can’t use the cellular system because it’s not affordable. They can try LoRa offline GPS tracking method because it’s cost-effective.
What Is LoRa?
It’s a long-range, low-power solution. It’s an effective solution for IoT applications in an outdoor environment. Moreover, LoRa is ideal for low-power applications and not suitable for video calls.
How LoRa Offline GPS Tracking System Works
A vehicle contains a GPS module that receives information such as time, speed, and location. This data is stored in flash memory. This information is transferred to the LoRa gateway when a vehicle reaches the station. LoRa gateway gathers all the information and transmits it to the cloud server.
Advantages of LoRa GPS Offline Tracking System
- Data is transferred and stored on a private network
- It doesn’t need to be connected to the cloud, which means it’s highly secure
- No need for LTE, 5G, or cellular networks, which means no need to pay for data service.
Conclusion
LoRa and Offline GPS tracking systems play a vital role in IoT applications. Therefore, they’re widely used in many industrial applications. You can contact Arshon Technology to get a compact PCB board. GPS tracking device comes with a chargeable battery, and you can charge it by plugging it with a USB port.
