2. Core Features
- Real-Time Tracking:
- GPS-based tracking of vehicle location with real-time updates.
- Display of vehicle location on a map interface.
- Historical tracking data and route visualization.
- Vehicle Management:
- Addition and management of vehicles, including details such as make, model, and license plate.
- Assignment of vehicles to drivers or users.
- Geofencing:
- Creation and management of geofences (virtual geographic boundaries).
- Notifications and alerts when a vehicle enters or exits a geofenced area.
- Alerts and Notifications:
- Real-time alerts for events such as speed limits, unauthorized movements, or deviations from planned routes.
- Notifications for vehicle maintenance schedules or issues.
Advertisement - Data Management:
- Storage of historical tracking data, including routes, speeds, and stops.
- Reports and analytics on vehicle usage, mileage, and performance.
- User Interface:
- Dashboard for viewing and managing vehicle locations, status, and alerts.
- User-friendly map interface with zoom and pan capabilities.
- Search and filter options for vehicles and routes.
- Admin Panel:
- Management of user accounts, roles, and permissions.
- System configuration and monitoring of overall system performance.
- Tools for managing and configuring GPS devices and tracking settings.
3. Technical Requirements
- Frontend:
- Responsive and interactive interface for web or mobile platforms.
- Technologies like HTML, CSS, JavaScript, and mapping libraries (e.g., Leaflet, Google Maps API).
- Backend:
- Server-side development using languages like Python (Django/Flask), JavaScript (Node.js), or Java.
- RESTful APIs or GraphQL for communication between frontend and backend.
- Database:
- Data storage for vehicle information, tracking data, user profiles, and alerts.
- Relational databases (e.g., MySQL, PostgreSQL) or NoSQL databases (e.g., MongoDB).
- GPS Integration:
- Integration with GPS devices or APIs for real-time location data.
- Processing and parsing of GPS data for accurate tracking.
- Security:
- Encryption of sensitive data (e.g., location information, user details).
- Secure authentication mechanisms (e.g., OAuth, JWT).
- Protection against common web vulnerabilities (e.g., SQL injection, XSS).
4. Additional Features (Optional)
- Mobile Application:
- Development of a mobile app for tracking vehicles and receiving notifications on the go.
- Vehicle Diagnostics:
- Integration with OBD-II (On-Board Diagnostics) for monitoring vehicle health and performance.
- Route Optimization:
- Features for optimizing routes based on traffic conditions and delivery schedules.
- Driver Behavior Monitoring:
- Analysis of driver behavior, including harsh braking, rapid acceleration, and speed violations.
- Multilingual Support:
- Support for multiple languages to accommodate diverse user groups.
5. Project Deliverables
- Documentation:
- Technical documentation (architecture, database schema, API documentation).
- User documentation (how to use the system, for both administrators and end-users).
- Testing:
- Comprehensive testing plan (unit tests, integration tests, user acceptance testing).
- Deployment:
- Deployment on a server or cloud platform (e.g., AWS, Azure).
- Ongoing maintenance and updates.
6. Timeline and Milestones
- Define the phases of development (e.g., planning, design, implementation, testing, deployment).
- Set deadlines for each milestone.
7. Budget and Resources
- Estimate the cost of development, including hardware, software, GPS devices, and any third-party services.
- Identify team members and their roles.
