ALTS (Automatic Location Tracking System)

MWI’s Automatic Location Tracking System (ALTS) solution is based on GPS technology to track vehicles, personnel or any asset that has an in-built GPS receiver and has the means to communicate its position to a backend system.   The solution is feature rich and highly scalable.

Features a light-weight web based scalable solution that can be deployed on the intranet or internet environment to track hundreds or thousands of devices.

The software provides a map-based view to display the real-time tracks of a single device or a group of devices as defined by the customer.

ALTS system has been successfully deployed on several Dimetra & ASTRO infrastructure in the Asian region.  It can support GPS updates from TETRA / ASTRO radios, LEX and other Android based phones.

       Group Map

• Track movement of selected radio groups in real-time.
• Auto Update on/off
• Standard MAP features – Pan/zoom map, re-center map, show device details, distance calculator, etc.
• Specify icons for each group
• Show Geozones
• Location details in tabular form

         Device Map

• Track the movement of selected device / vehicle in real time.
• Auto Update on/off
• Standard MAP features – Pan/zoom map, re-centre map, show device details, distance calculator, etc.
• Replay archived GPS positions
• Show Geozones
• Location details in tabular form

         Ad-hoc Command to Device

• From group map & device map, user can select an ad-hoc command to send to the device. Depends on whether customer server can support ad-hoc commands.

         Reports

• Device Event Detail Report;
• Group Event Detail Report
• Group Last Location Summary Report.

       Geo-fencing

• Geozones being created to track radios inside/outside geozones, or to generate geo-fencing alerts based on geozones.
• ALTS system supports Point Radius & Polygon geozones, which can have up to 20 vertices.

Composite Geo-fencing alert rules can be created with combination of multiple geozones

       Account Admin

• Represents a customer/organization.
• An ALTS system can be shared by multiple customers/accounts.
• Each account can be configured with distinct account logo, time-zone, metric system, GPS format, device/group label etc.

       Device & Group Admin

• Device can be configured manually in ALTS System or imported from exported UCS data in CSV format (for Motorola Radios).
• Device Group definition allows for monitoring of radios as a group, radio groups are created according to functions of organizations, the system can assign radio groups to users so that users can track only assigned radio groups.

       Language Support

• English

       Supported Maps

• ESRI Shape files, Geotiff files,
• Geo database & PostGIS database

(Note: Motorola shall supply the maps for MWI to format & load into MWI’s MAP Server)

• Google Map (Online Map)

(Note: Motorola shall buy Google API key for Google MAP Service usage)

         Basic & Run Time Alerts

• Speed alert – thresholds can be defined.
• Emergency alert – emergency button/man down is triggered.
• Comms Failure – no updates for designated time frame.
• Provides ability for a user to monitor device/vehicle alerts which shall be updated in near real-time whenever system triggers an alert.
• User can acknowledge/close active alerts on this page.

       Geozone Admin

• This feature allows creation, editing and deletion of geographical fences (geozone) on the map display.

       Geo-fence Alerts

• Inside/Outside Geozone, Entry/Exit Geozone alerts.

         User & Role Admin

• Roles can be created for grouping of access rights; a user configured under a role will inherit the access rights from the role.
• Access rights are assigned to different users to access different resources in the system, including functions, and information pertaining to device group.

         Alert Rule Admin

• Alerts are triggered based on alert rules; alert rules can be configured according to different criteria such as position, speed, date time, device groups etc.

        Vehicle/Personnel Admin
