NRSC/ISRO devised a mobile-based Bhuvan Smart tracking application to implement vehicle tracking, integrating with near real-time data and data management to visualise, monitor, and manage the entire process . This enabled the officials to make the right decisions and provide appropriate re-deployment instructions as and when required in fleet management.

The smart tracking application has

1. Mobile Android application mounted on the vehicles which communicate location information to the Bhuvan server.

2. Server-side application on Bhuvan server to acquire data from vehicle-borne/individual devices & geo-processing and
