Projects:
Qatar Petroleum
Automatic Vehicle Location System & Fleet Management System
Using GPRS & GPS technologies allocate, monitor and manage vehicles on fields. Sensory input and output from vehicles and vice versa provide the system with the row messages to be processed for the purpose of intercommunication. This project include installation of 1100 Intelitracs AVLS device on QP vehicles. The device is equipped with a dual GPRS intercommunication to send and receive singles to/from vehicles. Also it works as an Auto location System using the GPS capability.
The in-house developed software based on processing the row messages from vehicles. The final output is to be displayed on the PC running the software (THIN CLIENT) for monitoring and reporting purpose. Another version of the software is THICK CLIENT for administration purpose. Part of the applications developing technology was to use the advanced GIS mapping system based on ESRI software technologies. The geo-database (ArcGIS, ArcSDE) is used to maintain all the spatial and relational information using SQL or ORACLE database
