Satellite monitoring - a system for monitoring objects, built on the basis of satellite navigation systems , equipment and technologies for cellular and / or radio communications , computer technology and digital maps . Satellite monitoring of vehicles is used to solve the problems of transport logistics in transportation management systems and automated fleet management systems. For example: satellite monitoring of crops allows you to track the positive and negative dynamics of plant development by observing changes in the vegetation index obtained by spectral analysis of high-resolution satellite images in separate fields or for individual crops.
