AVLS Software Components

Server Application– Receives location data from vehicles &

forwards to database and client software– Writes incoming data for all vehicles to SQL

database

Client Application– Maps vehicle location and status– Generates reports– Provides user interface


AVLS Server Application

Receives GPS data via UDPRelates data to proper vehicleForwards all data to SQL server via TCP/IPProvides output of data to other systems– ie. Zoll RescueNet, etc

Forwards vehicle location data to Client on a visibility permission basis via TCP/IPSupports up to thousands of vehiclesBandwidth impact is small - <100 bytes payload / packet


AVLS Client Application

Receives vehicle location & status data via TCP/IP from AVLS ServerVehicle “visibility” controlled on per user basis by administratorPerforms all mapping, alerting and reporting functions.Communicates with SQL server via TCP/IP for report generationLow Bandwidth making remote and mobile use possible
