In today's busy airport environment, with the ever-increasing pressure to improve turnaround times due to limited slots, every second counts on the ramp. Everyone knows that ramp safety is paramount - but there is always the risk that corners will be cut, and basic airport safety could be jeopardised as simple rules and regulations, such as speed limits, are ignored in an attempt to save time. As an add-on to our VTIS fleet management system, v-SPEED is a speed monitoring module suitable for all types of motorised Ground Support Equipment. When the system is set up, a speed threshold is set via software - this threshold can be different for each individual GSE, or can be set a certain level for each family of equipment.

Using advanced GPS (Global Positioning System) measurement technology, v-SPEED constantly monitors vehicle speed. As soon as the threshold is exceeded, v-SPEED transmits an alert message, containing the actual speed recorded, location, date, time and GSE fleet number. If the GSE is also equipped with our v-LOCK system, the identity of the driver will also be included.
