GPS tracking withthe
Geotab GO-Device
How does vehicle tracking work?
Vehicle tracking allows the owner to determine the position, speed and direction of travel of the vehicle at any time thanks to satellite systems. The GO9 vehicle tracking device from Geotab works with the new GNSS (Global Navigation Satellite System), which enables more accurate positioning data, and can be attached to all types of vehicles and electric vehicles.
The advantages of vehicle tracking
Precise vehicle tracking
Collect accurate data on vehicle location, speed, distance and time traveled, engine idling and more. Even if your vehicle is parked underground, GPS vehicle tracking and telematics start recording as soon as you drive off. The new Geotab GO9 has a 32-bit processor, more storage space, more RAM and a gyroscope.
Assessment of the vehicle condition
Extract important information on vehicle condition and status. Record the chassis number, mileage, fault data and more. With this data, you can not only prioritize vehicle maintenance, but also support the monitoring of vehicle usage to identify safe and risky driving habits.
Collision detection and notification
Geotab provides specialized data for harsh driving (accelerating, braking, cornering, etc.) and collision reconstruction using our patented algorithms and the GO device’s accelerometer. When a suspected collision is detected, detailed forensic data is automatically uploaded from the GO device to enable reconstruction of the event - even in the case of collisions in reverse. The initial damage report is issued via e-mail and desktop alerts.
Secured data
Geotab uses authentication, encryption and message integrity verification for the Geotab GO vehicle tracking devices and network interfaces. Each Geotab GO device has a unique ID and a non-static security key, making it difficult to fake the identity of a device. OTA (over-the-air) updates use digitally signed firmware to verify that updates come from a trusted source.
Driver coaching in the vehicle
Improve driving behavior, e.g. in the event of speeding and engine idling, by issuing an acoustic warning or coaching the driver verbally (available as an add-on). Immediate feedback can increase fleet safety, promote compliance with company policies and encourage your drivers to take immediate corrective action.
Extended data acquisition
Vehicles send data from a variety of sources such as the engine, powertrain, instrument cluster and other subsystems. The GO9 uses several internal networks to collect much of this data. Get more out of vehicle tracking.
Geotab Go - The little technological wonder
A revolution in fleet management – Automatic, integrative and innovative: the Geotab GO9 telematics device has been redesigned from the ground up to meet the changing needs of your fleet not only today, but also in the future.
Where is the vehicle tracking device installed?
The compact Geotab GO9 vehicle tracking device is connected directly to your vehicle’s OBD-II port or, for vehicles without such a port, via an adapter. No antenna or wire splice connection is required for this. The installation process is quick and easy and requires no special tools or professional installers.
Simple installation: Simply connect the GO9 device to the OBD-II interface of your vehicle or, if required, “via” an adapter. The device now performs an automatic calibration. Further information can be found in the installation instructions.
Industry-leading and secure communication
We work with industry associations, universities and authorities to advance cyber security in the vehicle tracking and telematics industry. We integrate the best of their findings and validate the implementation through rigorous external penetration tests. We then share best practices from across our industry. Device security functions are implemented with a FIPS 140-2 validated cryptographic module. Certificate No. 3371.
