Key Features

🔴 Live Vehicle Tracking

        Track the real-time location of vehicles on an interactive map with live GPS updates. It helps fleet managers monitor every vehicle’s exact position, speed, and route in real-time.

🔁 Journey Replay

         Users can view complete journey replays for any selected timeframe, including route history, stops, speed, and travel duration. Ideal for analyzing driver behavior and trip efficiency.

📍 Geofencing & Zones

        Create custom zones (geofences) on the map. Receive instant alerts when vehicles enter or exit predefined areas—essential for route enforcement, delivery monitoring, and unauthorized usage detection.

📷 Remote Camera Management

         The portal enables remote access to vehicle-mounted cameras. Users can send GPRS commands to capture live images or videos—perfect for safety audits or incident investigation.

📊 Detailed Reports

Comprehensive reporting tools for:

Ignition Events: Track engine on/off times.

Trip Summaries: Total trips, durations, distances.

Driver Behavior: Harsh braking, rapid acceleration, and over-speeding events.

Alerts and Notifications: Customizable alerts via email/SMS.

👤 Driver Profile Management

         Assign drivers to vehicles and maintain digital profiles for each, enabling accountability, tracking, and historical data per driver.

🔔 Smart Notifications

         Instant alerts for all major events like zone breaches, harsh driving behavior, idle times, and vehicle maintenance reminders.

Challenges Faced

Real-Time Data Handling: Managing live GPS feeds and frequent updates required optimization of socket communication and state management in React.

Device Integration: Coordinating with IoT tracking devices and GPRS commands posed a challenge in parsing and synchronizing data packets.

Scalability: Designing a backend architecture that supports hundreds of simultaneous device connections and real-time event processing.

Security: Implementing secure API communication between tracking devices and backend to prevent data tampering or unauthorized access.

Tech Stack Used

Frontend: React.js, Redux, Leaflet (for maps)

Backend: Node.js, Express.js, Socket.IO

Database: MongoDB

Device Communication: GPRS Protocols, TCP Socket Server

Other Tools: JWT for authentication, Multer for media uploads, Chart.js for analytics
