What is taxi tracking?
Taxi tracking involves using GPS technology to monitor the real-time location of taxis. This data allows you to optimise routes, identify the nearest taxi, and even understand driver performance to boost the efficiency and security of taxi operations.
Radius is home to a comprehensive taxi GPS tracking system. Whether you are a single black cab driver or manage a fleet of taxis, our solutions can help elevate your operations to the next level. We are a global telematics leader with over 650,000 live subscriptions worldwide.
Benefits of a taxi tracking system
Greater level of efficiency
Real-time tracking allows you to optimise routes by providing the fastest, most fuel-efficient paths from A to B. This also minimises idle time – key for a quicker and more productive taxi service.
Better customer service
Accurate ETAs and optimised routes equals higher customer satisfaction. Passengers appreciate timely pickups and drop-offs, increasing the likelihood of repeat business.
Added layer of security
With the recent increase in theft of older black cab models, security has never been so important. To secure your taxis, our software offers instant alerts for unauthorised movements and potential theft.
Reduction in costs
Efficient route planning and reduced idle times result in significant savings on fuel. Additionally, for fleets, tracking driver behaviour helps lower maintenance costs.
Simple compliance
Electronic records of trips and vehicle maintenance support regulatory compliance. Detailed logs aid meeting local transportation regulations and simplifies reporting requirements, making audits and inspections more manageable.
Increased fleet visibility
With detailed reports on vehicle locations, trip histories, and driver performance, you gain full visibility of your taxi operations. This enables better decision-making and fleet management.
How a taxi tracker benefits different business sizes
Single operators
Single operators, like black cab drivers, benefit from enhanced security, real-time tracking, and route optimisation. This can support drivers to have more efficient operations, where customers experience a better overall service.
Fleets
Taxi fleets gain considerable benefits by utilising taxi tracker systems. These systems can offer comprehensive fleet management by updating individual cab locations in real time so you can improve efficiency by dispatching the nearest driver to the closest location more easily.

Real-time vehicle tracking
Trip history
You can use the trip history feature to review past journeys, understand the routes taken, and learn how your taxi was driven. Replay journeys to review recorded events and optimise future routes to cut waste and reduce operating costs. If dash cams are in place, download footage for a real-world view.
Driver behaviour
Understand how your taxis are being driven, with detailed driver performance information. Identify unsafe driving habits, such as speeding, and take action. Incentivise your taxi drivers to improve performance, cutting fuel costs and vehicle damage, whilst reducing the risk of incidents to improve safety.
Geofences
Create virtual zones around specific locations, such as company premises or Low Emission Zones in city centres. These geofences monitor movement into and out of these locations, providing greater transparency over your vehicles and avoiding fines.
What is geofencing?
Alerts
Create alerts based on geofenced locations, helping you manage your taxis proactively, protecting against vehicle misuse and theft. Receive an alert when a vehicle enters or leaves a geofenced area, either at any time of day or during specified hours.
Geo-Plus
Maximise your fuel efficiency and protect against unauthorised use. Link your fuel cards and vehicle tracking devices from Radius to access in-depth analysis of fuel card usage with taxi journeys and mileage. See if any fuel cards have been used without the vehicle being present to spot potential misuse and guard against fuel card fraud.
Geo-Plus
Reports
