USE OF GPS MONITORING IN TRANSPORT LOGISTICS

Abstract

The subject of this study is the methods, tools and automated systems for monitoring the transport logistics of an enterprise. The object of research is the process of monitoring and controlling the targeted use of motor vehicles. The purpose of the study is to increase the efficiency of vehicle operation at the enterprise. To achieve this goal, the following tasks have been solved: review and analysis of existing methods, tools and automated systems for monitoring the transport logistics of enterprises; selection of components of the monitoring system; development of a structural diagram and algorithm for the automated system for monitoring the transport logistics of an enterprise; modeling of the process of monitoring and controlling the target use of vehicles based on GPS technology. The following methods are used in the work: methods of determining the coordinates of objects, methods of data transmission and processing.  The following results have been obtained: a general description of the automated system for monitoring the transport logistics of an enterprise has been carried out, its composition and main tasks have been determined, wireless data transmission technology and system components have been selected, a structural diagram and algorithm for the automated monitoring system have been developed, a database management system has been selected, an entity-relationship model of the developed database has been created, and the system for monitoring the transport logistics of an enterprise has been implemented as a software tool. Conclusions: the use of the proposed automated system for monitoring the transport logistics of an enterprise allows optimizing costs and controlling the misuse of fuel, monitoring the location of the vehicle in real time, and protecting the vehicle from theft. Another important factor is improving the quality of the company's work. Route optimization not only improves efficiency and reduces business costs, but also allows you to control the level of service, which is especially important for cargo transportation when you need to deliver goods safely and as quickly as possible. Thus, the developed system minimizes the cost of additional functionality and significantly improves the efficiency of its operation and profitability by increasing the system's functionality.
