Hi!

I would suggest you please go through some literature about how a vehicle tracking

system (also known as GPS tracker) works.

Just to explain you briefly- you must have used uber/Ola Apps.. where you can see

the location of your cab. Similar is the concept of GPS tracking devices. Only

difference is in Ola/Uber APP, the location co-ordinates or the GPS co-ordinates are

taken from the mobile phone where as in case of the vehicle tracking system, the

location co-ordinates of the tracking device installed into a vehicle are relayed to the

tracking software hosted in a server. These set of strings used by the tracking device

and web server to communicate with each other is called COMMUNICATION

PROTOCOL and the tracking software hosted in server with a dedicated IP / static IP

is called the TRACKING PLATFORM.

Now-

Please go through traccar.org

They provide tracking platform source code for free (open source). They

already have communication protocol of various tracking devices integrated

into their platform.

1. You need to host the tracking platform using their source code in our server

with dedicated IP address. Ofcourse- with minor changes like integration of

our logo etc etc.

One IMPORTANT aspect is every tracking platform uses a map and we would

use google map and hence you must use google map API while hosting the

tracking platform in our server.

2. You need to also cross check whether the communication protocol that we will

give you is already integrated or not. In case if its not, you should integrate the

communication protocol. Its not a big task- as you just need to update our

device strings set or command/communication protocol into the platform

which is already ready.

3. Once 1 & 2 are completed- you have to segregate / customise the user

interface as following:

a. Master ADMIN: it will have all the features including tracking, reports, new id

creation features- with specific user rights like admin, reports, emergency

assist, end consumer etc etc under its dashboard.

b. Device/Vehicle entry login: They will basically creat user profile and creat new

IDs/ Logins with vehicle owner details/ vehicle registration number etc

c. Reports: this login will generate/ forward the reports like vehicle wise or

location wise total vehicle ACTIVE/INACTIVE status report, over speed report,

emergency alarm report etc

d. Emergency assist/ customer care: Once a device or set of device sends in

any emergency alarm signal to the server, it will be relayed/flashed on the

screen of the next available customer care/ emergency assist login online with

details of vehicle registration number, owner contact number, driver contact

number & location co-ordinates.

The available/online care personal will try contact the vehicle owner, find out

the nature of emergency and relay the information to police or ambulance as

may be required through call or SMS or web interface.

He/she also need to mention on the portal whether the case is closed/

problem is addressed.
e. Supervisor login/ Team leader login: He/She will monitor progress of calls

taken by the customer care/ emergency login and monitor response time,

pending cases, total cases attended etc etc and will intervene as and when

required.

f. End user login/ vehicle user login:

End user will have tracking/monitoring facility of the cars assigned to him. One

user may be assigned with multiple number of vehicles. He can monitor his

car’s current location, location history for 30 days, over speed alarm,

emergency alarm, geofencing alarm, driver behaviour (harsh braking, sudden

turns) etc etc

We would also want an end user APP (OPTIONAL).

Now please confirm how long will take to complete steps 1, 2 & 3 mentioned

above.

For your reference, I am giving you following demo login credentials so that

you understand various aspects of a tracking platform:

www.sinotrack.com

allow/run flash

username: dpsjorhat

password: 123456

This is a end user login but will give you a fair idea what we are looking for in

the customisation as you can see tracking function, replay (for location

history), geofence, report, user center (to creat new login/assign vehicles etc),

selection of MAP options etc etc

ONE YOU COMPLETE THESE PRELIMINARY STUDY & CONFIRM US

THE TIME LINE AND YOUR ABILITY TO COMPLETE THE TASKS, WE

WILL SPEAK AGAIN & CONFIRM THE ASSIGNMENT TO YOU WITH

DETAILS OF THE COMMUNICATION PROTOCOL THAT YOU NEED TO

CHECK/ INTEGRATE.
