Architecture diagram for Fleet Monitoring integration
Components of Fleet Monitoring integration
- Vehicle monitoring module
- GPS data from a vehicle can be collected by one of the following methods:
- An on-board GPS router sends NMEA data to the GPS plugin with a prepended vehicle ID
- An on-board GPS hardware is physically connected to a Security Center server, and a GPS unit configured with serial communication parameters reads the data
- An on-board SafetyVision process writes a binary metadata file, and a SafetyVision model GPS unit is configured to periodically parse the file and pick up location and input/output data.
- A custom integrated data source (such as a web service) pulls the data
- The GPS SDK pushes the data
- The GPS plugin using a UDP socket or MQTT topic pushes the data
- In-vehicle
