The GPStrax system, developed by ILI Technologies (2002) Corp. (ILI) consists of five separate hardware and software components which give the end user the ability to view maps, produce reports as well as monitor vehicle and personnel movements customized to their specific needs.

The five components that are available with the complete ILI GPStrax system include the GPStrax hardware and GPS-comm operating software as well as the optional MAPtrax, RTGPStrax and SITEtrax software packages.

The GPStrax hardware module contains a 12-channel GPS board, a propriety microprocessor based control module, a communication board and antenna. The control module, which utilizes GPS-comm operating software, receives the vehicle position every second from the GPS board and records this position at a configurable time into its internal memory. An optional external digital display module is available which displays current time, vehicle longitude and latitude as well as vehicle speed. When the vehicle returns to the base, the control module will transfer the saved readings from memory using the internal radio system to the base station connected to the Windows based GPS-comm operating software.

The base station consists of a radio system connected to a Windows based PC. ILI Technologies provides custom software that communicates with the system in each truck and will receive the GPS position reports from the vehicle-mounted controller. The SITEtrax and/or MAPtrax software will then convert the GPS data to a file format required to produce the required daily activity reports or to produce and display operator specific mapping reports.

The stored data from the trucks can be retrieved using an ILI supplied short range radio system, a customer supplied radio system or a commercial cellular phone system. Should a long range radio system, satellite or cellular phone system be used; real time data can be retrieved utilizing the optional ILI Technologies' RTGPStrax software package.

For the office, field operators or consultants, the SITEtrax software package provides an accurate source of information eliminating the need for pen and paper reporting. Immediate access to the information allows users to maximize route planning, travel time and work activities in the field.

Field supervisory staff as well as corporate accounting and head office management can accurately monitor site visits and inspections to maximize efficiency, ensuring accuracy and reliability.

Readings are digitally recorded and retrieved error free. The easy to use query filter analyzes large volumes of data into concise information sets. Security levels offer full flexibility to database administrators through user passwords. The SITEtrax Report Builder retrieves user defined data requirements with the click of a mouse.

In addition to the SITEtrax software package, ILI Technologies offers a SITEtrax GPS Remote Viewer program that allows operator or field personnel access to the main database for viewing and/or printing reports without allowing the editing or deleting of any of the database information. This program can also be used to create manual daily time sheets if the GPStrax system was not used for a specific assignment.
