A Real-Time Vehicle Tracking & Reporting Solution Share: 9series Solutions Pvt Ltd Score Awaiting client review n/a Date Published 10 July 2019 Reading Time 2-Minute Read iWayTrack is a Central Government innovation award-winning SME startup and has been in this business for 4+ years. Problem Statement In the past, they worked with 2 development companies but were not satisfied with the result they got. iWayTrack could not track their vehicles and get important notifications & reports when required. They were expecting more in terms of efficiency & extensibility. Their system would break-down while fetching information from 100 devices & they wanted a system that could connect at least 10,000 devices at one time. They wanted a bug free solution that would be easy to scale. Solutions We Offered In their discussion with us, they put forward all their requirements for Live tracking. They wanted software that would be able to provide them with a real-time solution to enhance the visibility of their fleet assets, ensure driver safety and also help to reduce the fuel & maintenance cost. We redesigned the base architectures. We developed C++ based TCP listener supporting thousands of concurrent connection. We defined and developed a Python-based algorithm that would process the device information in no time. Implemented Vue.js on frontend side and increased the data rendering experience.

The various challenges faced by our developers while developing the solution were: Designing the architecture in such a way that cost per 1000 device reduces. Google being expensive for asset mapping, for us to find an alternative for mapping, geocoding & reverse geocoding was a big challenge. Third-party Integration was another challenge for the team for Real-time Location Sharing & Live-Tracking. Handling Large size data through the current system was a challenge. Seamless Integration between all subsystems.
