Q3 Technologies: Fleet Management Solution

Q3 Technologies, Gurgaon, India provides client with a complete fleet management solution.

Business Situation:

Client had a vision to provide a service for tracking vehicles and cargos for companies which were facing a tough time managing their fleet of vehicles. This service provides real time tracking of vehicles and has both – a web-based tracking system and a desktop tool for tracking and configuring the system.

Solution:

The developed application at Q3 Technologies is a complete fleet management system solution. Its simple interface handles the complexities of processing the raw data sent by the vehicles, configuring the alarms, and setting the vehicle configurations while giving the user a real-time vehicle monitoring and analysis tool. The key solutions provided by the Q3 Technologies to the client are: 

1. Front end is developed using MVP architecture as both the web-based application and desktop application needs to be developed. The MVP Architecture Pattern is used to build ASP.net applications. It refers to splitting up the responsibilities for gathering, displaying, and storing data from a web page into separate objects, such as, a Model object, a View object, and a Presenter object. A View is often an interface which is implemented by an ASP.net web page and a Model is a business object. The Presenter negotiates the transfer of data between the other two objects. 

The advantage of using a view as an interface is that it can be implemented by many different presentation models other than a web page, such as a Finesse page, a NUnit mock class, or a Windows application.

2. The second challenge is to support the ArcPad installed on a driver’s mobile phone and monitor the location of the vehicle and the driver. The ArcPad communicates over the GPRS with the vehicle server and the Vehicle server distinguishes between the data sent from the mobile application and vehicle unit device. The ArcPad sends the data in XML which is processed by the Vehicle server and in turn the Vehicle server sends the response in XML, which is interpreted by the ArcPad. These requests are driver’s next assignment. A pickup point is the shortest route and a map in ArcPad also encapsulates the geo fence area of particular vehicle.

3. The Vehicle server is also capable of reading the RFID signal and processing them.

4. Also enables the review of the vehicle history along with real-time monitoring by the owner and the graphical reports with multi-level detail drill down and comprehensive results. 

5. Numerous reports as given below were created in Crystal reports, which are as follows: 

- Individual Report

- Group Report

- Admin Report

Q3 Technologies: Risk Management Tool

Q3 Technologies, Gurgaon, India develops an exemplary web based risk management tool enabling verification of driving licenses in real time.

Business Situation:

The client’s initiative focuses on the role of satisfying an emerging social trend related to driving – statistically the single most dangerous thing that most of us do on a daily basis. With the presiding social mood, legislative atmosphere and legal outcomes, the client’s initiative is perfectly timed and widely praised

The client’s keenness is to work towards greater road safety i.e. reducing fraud protection insurance for both small entrepreneurs and large companies, while implementing cost reduction without contravening any privacy legislation.

Solution:

Q3 Technologies developed an exemplary solution by focusing on following elements of software development:

• Using .NET technology to develop software modules and impart robustness in their integration.
• Using XML-Data processing including XML-Parsing based on XSD (XML Schema Design) using .NET technology, which is platform independent, and provides faster data communication.
• Using web services, which makes all communications – both incoming and outgoing – using the SOAP protocol.
• Using advanced standards like WS-Trust, WS-Security, WS-MetaDataExchange and many more standards to develop reliable and resilient communication and data-exchange architecture.

Q3 Technologies performed following steps for solution’s usage in real world:

1. Configured the powerful middleware, so that it is now able to exchange information with the devices that are part of users’ remote control infrastructure.
2. Built an intuitive web interface, selecting amongst hundreds of different graphic templates, those that better suit users’ business.
3. Delivered an "on-demand" hosted service from client’s datacenter and made it available via internet browser to any end-users’ PCs.

Another milestone in developing such an ultra-modern solution is testing, which Q3 Technologies has always done par excellence. To test the solution, Q3 Technologies applied following techniques and methodologies:

• Constituted a testing team who fully understood solution’s technical aspect and worked closely in cohesion with development team and the client.

Developed programs that simulated original machines to perform preliminary tests prior to testing with real machines.

Q3 Technologies: Mobile PDA Device

Q3 Technologies, Gurgaon, India ndeveloped a solution for Mobile PDA device synchronizations for seamless data transfer.

Business Situation:

Client needed mobile-based standalone application that would facilitate clinical trials – a type of medical research that is conducted in phases by means of health specific questions, initially on a small scale and then in a larger context. Client required the application not only to allow designing of questions, but facilitate dynamic updations in the design as well.

Practical Situation:

A patient has been assigned a questionnaire for a particular form of disease, but the doctor diagnoses a new form of disease symptom in the patient. So a new questionnaire has to be designed for him. A new set of questionnaires is prepared by the administrator and it needs to be sent to the patient’s PDA.

Solution:

Since, the standalone application for designing questionnaires was to be built for mobile devices, it was implied that the dynamic updations in the questionnaires should be achieved remotely and automatically. Technically, it meant that the standalone application running on a Desktop machine should be able to synchronize with the application running on patient’s PDA.

Synchronization is the process of establishing consistency among data on remote sources and the continuous harmonization of the data over time. Synchronization refers to one of the two distinct, but related concepts, and they are:

• Synchronization of processes,
• Synchronization of data

In process synchronization, multiple processes are to join up, so as to reach an agreement or commit to a certain sequence of action. In data synchronization, multiple copies of a dataset are kept in coherence with one another, or to maintain data integrity. Process synchronization primitives are commonly used to implement data synchronization.

Q3 Technologies decided that a synchronization tool will be developed and installed on the server, which helps in the synchronization process; automatically copying changes back and forth. This tool will allow an incoming GPRS transmission to overwrite the application file with a new application. As a result, once an application build (containing questionnaires) is installed on the SD card of patient’s PDA, any changes made to the corresponding build on Desktop, will be updated on the SD card of the PDA. The SD card number and mobile number of the PDA will be used for synchronization purpose.
