Good time of day.
IntroThe last year or two, the popularity of GPS monitoring of mobile objects is growing. To a greater extent, it is of course monitoring the movement of vehicles, but there are also other applications (monitoring the movement of children, people, responsible cargo, and even animals).
But all these systems are closed.
How it works.The system consists of 3 main parts.
- GPS tracker is a portable device that receives its GPS coordinates and with a given periodicity (or on demand), sending those same coordinates and other information about its status to the server via TCP or UDP protocol through the cellular networks of mobile operators. It is configured remotely via SMS.
There are 2 main types: Portable (personal), and automobile (has additional inputs and outputs for sensors and relays).
- Server part (1) - accepts and processes the received data from trackers and puts everything into a database.
- Server part (2) - Web user interface for displaying the received information (current position, route traveled, data from various sensors).
The user only needs access to the Internet and a browser.
The birth of the system.The project was born at the beginning of last year, as another crazy idea of additional, and subsequently permanent, earnings. All this was realized in time, free from the main work.
Why OpenSource?- For the birth of new ideas. (I am a techie, to organizational skills, but here with the creativity tugovato)
- Attracting labor reserves. (The system is being written and developed, but I would like to be faster. With a detachment of Full Time programmers, I cannot cope with one :))
')
Implementation:Perl + Postgresql. Along the way, HTML, CSS, JavaScript.
How to earn ?- You can earn on the sale of equipment for this system, and on technical support.
What is already there:- 2 test devices in the open spaces.
- Have your own server (slightly upgraded workstation) initial configuration.
- TCP / IP server for receiving data from test devices of one of the Chinese manufacturers.
- Database where all the data obtained after processing.
- WEB interface for user access to their devices with the functions of displaying the current position of the GPS tracker and building a route for a specified period of time.

- A list of the desired improvements (including those that so far no one has).
What you want:I would like to attract people to the project.
