Usage Scenario
Vehicle Tracking Automation with External GPS and MQTT
Coordinates received from the GPS module installed externally to NetRelay can be instantly transferred to the central software via MQTT. Thus, a single vehicle or the entire fleet can be tracked live on the map; Vehicle tracking processes can be automated by calculating the route, distance and estimated arrival time.
- • Instant latitude, longitude, speed and direction data with external GPS module
- • Low latency live vehicle and fleet location tracking via MQTT
- • Estimated arrival time calculation with route and distance data
- • Geofence, off-route and destination-based automations
Live vehicle and fleet tracking with MQTT
Location, speed and time information read from the GPS module is published to MQTT topics along with the vehicle ID. The central tracking application visualizes this telemetry on the map, allowing to monitor the current location, movement history and operational status of multiple vehicles from a single panel.
ETA and location-based automation
Central software; By processing current GPS coordinates with route, distance and, if necessary, traffic data, it can calculate the estimated time of arrival at the destination. Workflows such as sending notifications when the vehicle enters the specified area, preparing the barrier or loading area process when it approaches the facility, generating alarms when off-route and automatically creating arrival records can be implemented.
