Short answer

How can I track my vehicles using AI?

Your AI uses Cartrack tools to pull real-time GPS coordinates and historical trip logs for any vehicle in your fleet. You get specific location data and route histories through a natural conversation.

The outcomes

What you get from your AI

The AI turns raw telemetry into answers you can actually use.

LIVE

Real-time tracking

The AI pulls current GPS coordinates for specific vehicles. You'll see exactly where a driver is right now.

HISTORY

Route analysis

Get a full list of past trips. This helps you review where vehicles have been and how they traveled.

DETAILS

Vehicle info

Pull specific technical or registration details for any unit in your fleet to verify identity or status.

HUMAN

Manual intervention

The AI identifies the data, but you decide if a driver needs a call or if a route needs changing.

The workflow

What your AI does when you ask for tracking

The AI acts as a bridge between your chat interface and the Cartrack database.

  1. Identify the vehicle

    The AI looks up the specific unit you're asking about to ensure it has the right ID.

    get_vehicle_details

  2. Locate the unit

    It grabs the most recent GPS coordinates to tell you where the vehicle is currently sitting.

    get_vehicle_position

  3. Review past movement

    The AI pulls the historical logs to show you the paths taken during previous journeys.

    list_vehicle_trips

  4. Summarize findings

    It translates the raw coordinate data and trip timestamps into a plain English update for you.

FAQ

How the tracking behaves

  • 01

    Can the AI move or stop my vehicles?

    No. The AI can only read location and trip data. It cannot send commands to the vehicle hardware.

  • 02

    How often does the location update?

    The AI pulls the most recent position available in the Cartrack system at the moment you ask.

  • 03

    Can I delete trip history using the AI?

    No. The AI only has permission to read data. It cannot delete or modify any records in Cartrack.

  • 04

    Do I need to give the AI my Cartrack password?

    No. You connect via Vinkius, which manages the connection securely without exposing your password to the AI.

  • 05

    Can the AI generate reports?

    The AI can summarize trip data and locations in chat, but it does not create standalone PDF or Excel files.
