Document Title: Insivate IFMS Overview v2.docx www.insivate.com Copyright: Insivate CC – 2014 Page 1 of 8 [email protected]1 Technology The key success criteria for any technology company is the concepts of INSIGHT and INNOVATE. The name INSIVATE was thus derived through combining these two key concepts. Applying these two key concepts to real-time vehicle tracking and integrated fleet management has led to the selection of the technologies described below for INSIVATE’s Integrated Fleet Management Systems (IFMS). 1.1 MT4000 Vehicle Tracking Unit (VTU) Novatel Wireless offers an extensive range of vehicle tracking units and their MT4000 is a feature rich quad-band GSM/GPRS unit. Key features include: Flexible application customization through Smart Agent programmable rules and event engine Innovative internal cellular and GPS antenna design Configurable driver behaviour reporting, polygon geo-fencing, driver ID, and multiple GPIO capabilities Deep sleep and low power management for 12 V & 24 V passenger cars, trucks, and transit vans worldwide The Novatel MT4000 is distributed and supported in South Africa by Vodacom. 1.2 Microsoft Bing Maps Platform Today’s economy intensifies the need to improve fleet management for effective asset tracking and efficient fleet utilization levels. The Bing Maps Platform supports software-based monitoring and tracking solutions that help mitigate loss and control operational costs for transportation companies and other organizations with fleet vehicles, mobile assets, or mobile workforces. 1.3 Rich Internet Application (RIA) using Microsoft Silverlight 5.0 Microsoft Silverlight is a cross-browser, cross-platform implementation of the .NET Framework for building and delivering the next generation of media experiences and rich interactive applications (RIA) for the Web. Silverlight uses the Extensible Application Markup Language (XAML) to ease UI development (e.g. controls, animations, graphics, layout, etc.) while using managed code or dynamic languages for application logic. 1.4 Microsoft Windows Services The Real-Time Vehicle Tracking Server (VTS) is implemented as a multi-threaded Microsoft Windows Service and executes on a server hosted at Vodacom. The VTS receives and stores all the tracking event data sent by the VTU’s. When a VTU connects to the VTS, a dedicated thread with its own UDP port is allocated to the VTU. This design approach enables the VTS to support more than 60 000 VTU’s per server depending on the processing power of the server. Figure 1: Novatel Wireless VTU Figure 2: Microsoft Bing Maps
