Vehicle Tracking System from IOCL...

By this time, i guess all my dealers will be aware of Vehicle Tracking System Launched by Indian Oil Corporation Limited... Some Info about the VTS...

Name of the Project : Vehicle Tracking System
Developer : CMC Limited
Project Name : Nirdeshak
Objective : Based on its flagship solution ‘Nirdeshak, CMC implemented GPS-based Fleet Tracking System which uses SMS messaging (GSM mobile phones) for real-time data transfer between the fleets and the Central Control Station (CCS).

Benefits to Customer :
  • Increase in utilisation of vehicles
  • Increase in availability
  • Increase in Productivity
  • Fewer Customer Complaints
  • Increase in Business
How to use Vehicle Tracking System by IOCL Dealers

  1. Visit the webiste www.indianoil.co.in or Visit http://web1.indianoil.co.in:8080/iocl/LoginNew.do
  2. Click on Vehicle Tracking System and this will take you to the page below
  3. Enter Desired Username and Password .... Remember : The username and password changes from depot to depot. For getting username and password, Please contact to your concerned Depot Manager or Sales Officer.... The username and password is same for concerned depot, hence it cannot be changed as it gives the access to all the modules uniformly to all the dealers. Click on the Login...
  4. Once you logged on, The VTS will have five modules...
  • Masters - All the TT info will be uploaded in the Masters. Only those reports will be displayed which are included in the masters module...I guess dealers can't do anything on this...hopefully it should be done by authorized persons...
  • Tracking - The name is self explanatory...but how it can be used by the dealers, still unkown for me....
  • Configure VMU - Not much use for the dealers....
  • Reports - This module is very useful for the dealers to track the vehicle on realtime... so i will try to explain this module in detail. Click on the Reports...the tree will get collapsed and displayed with " DYNAMIC STATUS". Click on the Dynamic Status... This will pop up new window....
In the above screen, the state office and supply location will be selected default...Remember if you log on with for example...guntakal depot UN and Password, the state office and supply location will be displayed as " Andhra Pradesh " and Guntakal Depot.

Double click on the TT Category Icon and it will display TT category with three options...

  1. Company Owned
  2. Dealer Owned
  3. Contractor
Select the desired Result and the result will be displayed on the screen.

Click on the icon " Transporter Name " and it will list you all the names of the transporters, who been included in the MASTERS MODULE. Select the desired one. The result will be displayed on the main screen

Click on the "TT NO" icon and it will display all the fleets concerned to the Transporters Name. Select the fleet name for which tracking to be done.

Click on the show report...the main screen of VTS will get updated ...


In the above screen TT NO, Status, Destination, speed will be shown. If you click on Vehicle number, a new window ill pop up showing all the details of Transporter. If you click on Destination, a new window will pop up showing Invoice no and product Name along with invoice generated time and date. In the position screen, the current position of the vehicle will be displayed based on GPS data. I guess there will be a GPS Lag..I mean to say that, the current position of the vehicle will not be displayed correctly. This also happens in "GOOGLE MAP". And this software is displaying current position based on the selected or well known marked points. I am not aware, how may satellilites will be tracking the fleet to determine current speed and position. If it is only one, then there will be a definite GPS LAG. It would have been much better, if it displays the current latitude and longitude position,as it can be used on google maps to determine the current location of the vehicle.

Anyway to see the fleet on the map, click the check mark below the map on the screen and this will pop up new window showing a map of india.


Improvements Needed...

  1. User Interface need to be upgraded
  2. No searching of vehicles can be made on the main screen
  3. Display of current location cannot be understood
  4. No proper display of quantity of product against to the Invoice number
  5. Software seems like in beta stage... needs more improvement
  6. Dynamic status of the vehicle on the map is not available...

  7. Thanks for the info. But they have completely changed the UI with domain IOC to login. It is not accepting previously used "Username" and password. Can you provide us the steps to generate username for new UI.

  8. Real-time vehicle tracking systems rely on both the Global Positioning System
    (GPS) satellites and a cellular system. A GPS tracking module continuously picks
    up the vehicle's precise coordinates, which determines the real-time location of the vehicle that's being tracked. تتبع الأسطول
