INTRODUCTION


3

Group

• This is the final year project of three students from BS(CS) program:

- Ayaz Ali Qureshi- Salik Aziz Khan- Syeda Khushbakth Rizvi

• Project is under the supervision of Dr. Sayeed Ghani


4

Project

• The project being presented is an Android based asset tracking and monitoring system, using Global Positioning System (GPS) technology to locate and Global System for Mobiles (GSM) / General Packet Radio Service (GPRS) services to transmit the updates to a remote server which can use the incoming data to pinpoint assets


5

Industrial Partner

• The project caters to the market demand of customizable tracking solution and has an industrial client

• This project is endorsed by HinoPak

Motors Ltd and its tailored to their needs


6

DESCRIPTION


7

Need

• The project is IBA’s graduation requisite, which serves as the foremost need

• The requirements of HinoPak Motors Ltd served as secondary need factor


8

Scope

• The scope of the project includes an android application, web based interfaced and underlying frameworks

• The project scope was defined after careful discussion with the industrial partner


9

Scope – Contd..

• The project boundaries were set to all things software related. Any use or manipulation of hardware is considered beyond the scope of this project, for this stage

• Any task which deviates from the core of tracking and vehicle monitoring is deemed out of scope


10

Learning Objective

• To develop a business viable solution from scratch

• To understand, learn and implement product development & software engineering techniques applied in real life projects


11

• To be able to better translate real life scenarios into functional features

• To polish competencies learned during the course of the program

Learning Objective – Contd..


12

Project Objective

• Develop a low cost asset tracking and monitoring solution

• Provide a highly customizable solution to our industrial partner

• Development of video surveillance of assets’ interior as an add-on capability


13

SYSTEM DEVELOPMENT


14

Implementation Method

• Waterfall model is employed for software development. Tasks were broken down into segments, namely:- Planning - Analysis - Design - Implementation - Testing - Delivery


15

Technological Basis

The technologies used to develop the system include:

- Android OS - GPS and GPRS enabled devices - HTML/CSS/JS - LAMP(Apache, MySQL, PHP) - Google Maps - Linux based servers


16

Mode of Delivery

• Tracking will be done via an Android application

• The data will be sent to remote server in real-time via SMS or GPRS service

• The data can be viewed via web panel

which accesses database residing at the server

Features

• Feature #01 – Last known location• Feature #02 – Current location• Feature #03 – Travel route• Feature #04 – Route coordinates • Feature #05 – Speed(current/average)• Feature #06 – Estimated time of arrival *• Feature #07 – Points of interest *• Feature #08 – Time taken for a route

(lapsed/remaining) • Feature #09 – Ignition Notification *• Feature #10 – Distance travelled (lapsed/remaining) * Currently under development


24

SERVER


25

Overview

• We have two server instances:– A primary server hosted at HinoPak– A secondary backup server hosted by

IBA

• Servers have Ubuntu 12.04 OS, LAMP stack on top

• Web Panel for administration which is in PHP


26

DEBUGGING TOOLS


27

Overview

• A desktop application written in C# to transfer data file created by application during offline logging.

• A mobile application for android to transfer data file created by application during offline logging.


28

WEB PANEL


29

Overview

• Web Panel is the server side interface.

• It has the capability to display variety of information collected via the mobile application.

• Major features include: Last co-ordinate, All co-ordinates, Load/Save route, User management.


30

CURRENT STANDING & PROGRESS


31

Milestones

• Meeting with HinoPak’s management for requirement gathering purpose

• Development and approval of a comprehensive and structured SRS document

• Implementation of minimum requirement set by HinoPak Motors Ltd


32

Milestones – Contd..

• UI design formalized

• A working prototype is developed

• Currently the application is the testing phase for real life scenario

• Development of a dedicated website to introduce and inform the interested entities about the solution and all the relevant aspects


33

Milestones – Contd..

• Preliminary experiment design was devised and a test run was done to gather sample dataset to be used later for research purpose


34

Limitations

• We faced some glitches with the server up-time, GPS accuracy (device specific) and network reception

• Also selection of appropriate algorithm proved to be challenging task


35

Requirements

• Some limitations pertains to usage of Android application specifically:

- Subscription to GPRS connection(For active data logging)

- SD card with sufficient memory(For offline data logging – in the event of lost transmission)

- Android OS version 2.2 and above- GPS enabled Handset


36

FUTURE PLANS


37

Vision

• Pertains to the Computer Science Project II, where we would experiment & incorporate hardware with the tracking system

• Essentially, it looks at monitoring functionality on ground, gathering video surveillance of vehicle from the inside in real time


38

Research Paper

• A theoretical research paper concerning our tracking and monitoring solution, its model and unique characteristics

• Also, results collected through specifically designed experiments


39

Hardware Extension

• Raspberry Pi – a microcomputer is obtained for this purpose

• This will gather all cues from the assets


40
