Abstract : IoT-based systems are increasingly important for managing assets and activities, and implementing such a system can greatly benefit institutions like WASAC. The purpose of this system is to effectively manage WASAC's fleet, improving vehicle tracking, dispatching, fuel management, maintenance planning, driver behavior and safety, accident reduction, vehicle lifespan, customer service, unauthorized vehicle usage control, and data analysis and reporting. Currently, WASAC relies on paper-based methods for data recording and fuel management, resulting in financial losses and inadequate driver monitoring. By developing an IoT-based system, several sensors and devices such as a CAN adapter FMB140, automatic alcohol test sensor, fuel sensor, relay, I-button, and buzzer will be employed. These devices and sensors will be connected to the FMB140 IoT device, which will capture data and store them in a server database. This data will then be used to create an interactive web-based application using socket programming for fleet managers and the monitoring team. The application will be developed using PHP and React technologies. By implementing this IoT in fleet management will enhance safety and security measures for institutions specifically within the WASAC fleet management system, Real-time tracking, geofencing, prevention of fuel theft, driver behavior monitoring, and remote engine cut-off will significantly improve driver and vehicle safety while boosting fleet productivity. Overall, the IoTbased system will streamline operations, reduce costs, and enhance efficiency for WASAC's fleet management.

Keywords : Iot-Based Fleet Management System, Real-Time Tracking, Fuel Management, Maintenance Planning, Driver Behavior And Safety.
