Abstract:

      Geomatics has become a widespread field with many other disciplines using techniques such as GIS and remote sensing. The Fleet Management System (FMS) is comprised of many disciplines, from hardware/software engineering, technical communications and network that to provide a fast and reliable satellite communication. The Fleet Management System hosted by web application to assist companies with large fleets to efficiently conduct and coordinate their operations. The article has been made to demonstrate implementing and integrating geomatics elements; GPS, GIS, and remotely sensed satellite images as a source of information. FMS in Jordan has been selected to be presented as a demonstration; because it had the most novel solution that could meet the needs and designed in very vigorous, flexible and acceptable way to create an adaptable system that can be implemented in vehicles. The friendly user system can be implemented in any type of vehicles.

Keywords: Geomatics, Fleet Management System, Global Positioning System, Geographical Information System, Remotely Sensed Satellite Images.
