One of the main challenges in the apron area is that, due to many different companies operating on an airport apron, each company brings in the vehicles and equipment it requires to sustain operation. This causes high levels of congestion in ramp areas, which increases the accident rate and the chances of vehicles and equipment being misused.

By gaining telematic data on the running times of the various vehicle categories, detailed real-time statistics can be obtained. This allows for advanced fleet management and effective maintenance planning in off peak periods, thus helping to reduce the number of vehicles and/or equipment which is considered necessary to maintain a high level of service.

Actual reports on running times allow a good long term budget planning, by showing how many vehicles or pieces of equipment are actually needed to support daily operations. By monitoring, the vehicles unnecessary running times can be avoided, thus reducing costs and environmental impact. This type of information can lead to considerable savings in investment and daily operational costs, and a reduction in vehicles and equipment required, reducing congestion and enhancing safety in apron areas.
