Fleet Management System

Computer Engineering

Fleet Management System (FMS) is a system which helps institutions to manage vehicle fleet efficiently and effectively through smart allocation of resources. The fleet management application functionalities such as tracking, routing, dispatching, on-board information and security are to be performed by FMS. Once vehicle location is determined from the GPS components, additional tracking capabilities transmit this information to a fleet management web application. The main purpose of the proposed Fleet Management Application is essentially to automate entire operations and information of vehicles at a particular given point of time. So that the admin can get the information about their vehicles and drivers at any point of time. Web services have become quite essential in web application development. RESTful web services are one way of providing interoperability between computer systems on the internet. REST-compliant web services allow requesting systems to access and manipulate textual representations of web resources using a uniform and predefined set of stateless operations. These services, which are online APIs, can be accessed from various applications and the results can be used to offer specific functionality to users. This project consists of an Android app, a Server application and a Client application. The Server application exposes a REST API (Web Services developed using Representational State Transfer (REST) protocol) using, which the consuming client applications can make use of various functionalities as services across the network. The Android application will be installed in the smart phone present with each driver, this app would send live location data to the database using the REST API. The manager/admin uses the client application to track the vehicles in real time, the manager can also choose to track a particular vehicle.
