  How to use it: 
  VSS can be used to create and manage routes for a fleet of vehicles. It allows users to assign vehicles to routes, set up route parameters such as start and end points, and track the progress of their vehicles in real-time. It also provides users with the ability to optimize their routes by taking into account factors such as traffic, weather, and road conditions. 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When using VSS, it is important to ensure that all route parameters are set correctly before assigning vehicles to routes. This will help ensure that the routes are optimized for maximum efficiency.
