AVL – Automatic Vehicle Location
Maximize Your Efficiency on the Road
Automatic Vehicle Location (AVL) allows each vehicle to communicate its location in real-time. PCTrans integrates each vehicle’s GPS location into the maps displayed in the dispatch window. This allows Dispatchers to schedule same day bookings and alter routes to accommodate cancellations and/or last minute requests with ease. Also, changing weather or traffic conditions may be quickly factored into a vehicle’s route to minimize schedule disruptions.
A summary of PCTrans usage of AVL includes:
