A WebGIS-based system model of vehicle monitoring central platform
Yong Wang, Dafang Zhuang, Runhe Shi, Su Li · 2005
The vehicle monitoring central platform is establishing a uniform information portal on vehicle monitoring in China. Rather than elaborating sophisticated vehicle monitoring and management approaches, the WebGIS-based system model is striving to develop a technical umbrella for the distributed and Web-based vehicle management systems, which employs several technologies, including communication technology - SMS (short message services), vehicle position technology - GPS (global positioning systems), and information display and matching technology - GIS (geographic information systems). The model presents prototype application for vehicle monitoring central platform, which provides an enabling technology to directives and city management for online dissemination of vehicles information. The model's architecture and its designing considerations are introduced in this paper. The systematic framework and structure, the data management components and the program tools to develop final applications are also explained. The prototype system shows this prototype model is an efficient and feasible one.
