Iranian Technologists Develop Real-Time Monitoring System for Vehicle Fleets, Vessels
“The company's real-time tracking system or online tracking is capable of receiving comprehensive information on vehicle movements at any time and presenting this data in a visual format on a map through software installed in the control center, or via the web without the need to install software,” said Mahshid Aqayee, a technologist at the knowledge-based company.
She underlined the ability to store information statistically and in formats like MDF or MDB in the database, and stated, “This system has a communication port and USB converter for connecting to a computer, and it also provides the possibility of using digital output ports by sending commands from the central computer to these online GPS devices.”
Noting that the system can also be used on vessels, Aqayee said, “With this system, we can monitor the performance of vehicles or engines in vessels by reading their computer data, and by providing analytical reports to manufacturers, we can help improve the design and production of vehicles and vessels."
In a relevant development in late 2023, specialists of an Iranian knowledge-based company had also succeeded in designing and building a marine positioning system with the aim of navigating and guiding the vessels.
“GPS map, or position finder, is a system based on software and hardware that is used in commercial, fishing and military ships. It works in a way that a hardware along with software is installed on the ship which is similar to a 10-inch monitor and a set of tools for working with the map,” said Gholamreza Najafpour, the managing director of the knowledge-based company which designs and manufactures industrial radars.
He added that the system is able to load marine and satellite maps and connect to radar and AIS, saying, “The user of this system can find his/her position based on the information he/she receives from systems like AIS, radar and GPS and observe the sea at any moment.”
“It can also report the topology of the sea, including the depth at any moment, and detect other ships and boats that are using this system and similar systems on the map at any moment. Finally, with this information, it can navigate and guide the vessel and control the path so that no collapse happens in the sea,” Najafpour said.
