yed i do agree , using the tracking system is very effective in reducing traffic accident and it is very useful and benifical if used in investigating accidents causes ...

from my experience ,  that companies are purchasing system , investing a lot of money on that , but in most of cases they dont utilize it well , on the other hand the tracking system devices need to monitored for accuracy ,,,, need to be maintained regularly in order to provide accurate information ...

report of the systems need to be customized and configured to meet buisness needs and requirements ,,, geofences need to be predefined ....users must be quilifed and trained to utlize systems properly ...

in short the tool is very effective if it is used properly ..

AGREEING WITH GPSTRACKING SYSTEM INSTALLED ON VEHICLES BUT IT's NOT SURE PREVENTING ACCIDENTS,

No at all, because using GPS will never prevent or reduce Car accident. Instead of it, we will face more problems and more accidents.

My friend GPS give you directions not driving skill and some sort of system to control drivers personal attitude about driving.

GPS is good tool to find the way or places but not to reduce accidents.

In addition to GPS proximity sensors,cameras on all four sides of vehicles,ability to communicate with other vehicles etc are very useful

GPS to prevent accident is only effective if respected by the user, used properly, maintained properly. But it would entail a lot of money and yet not a fool proof equipment. The best way to prevent traffic of vehicular accident is by changing the driving behavior of all drivers. Driver should have a care when sharing the road with other motorist as much as they care for their selves and families. Company also has a great role in traffic accident by providing the drivers the right tool, training, benefit and equipment to perform their duties safely.
