This project involves writing a main program in PC, code in VB to interpret NMEA statements, designing the interface for the program on Pocket PC, and creating a database in Access to store vehicle tracking information. The tasks are assigned to team members for GUI development, code interpretation, interface design, and database creation. Communication between PC and Pocket PC is established through a specific protocol. The PC program uses GeoTools package to draw maps from ESRI shape file in Java.

Group # 3 Week 8
Progress so far • Writing the main program in PC • Writing code in VB to interprets NMEA statement • Design the interface for the program for Pocket PC • Design Database in Access to store information to tracking vehicles
Tasks • Ali: Writing GUI for the application in PC • AHMAD: Writing code in VB to interprets NMEA statement • MUHAMMAD: Design the interface for the program for Pocket PC • SALEH: Design Database in Access to store information to tracking vehicles and convert the map to ESRI shape
Communication between PC and Pocket PC • This is the protocol that PPC and PC will use to communicate with each other: • 1. PPC sends ID • 2. PC sends ACK • 3. initiate connection to GPS • 4. Parse NMEA data • 5. PPC send longitude, altitude , speed , …. Etc to the PC • 6. receive control message : ex Time to send New Phone #
The program in PC • The program use GeoTools package to draw map in java from ESRI shape file. • The webpage for GeoTools package at: geotools.codehaus.org/ There are some example of use the package at geotools.codehaus.org/Snippets
Plan for coming week • Arabization the programs in Pocket PC and PC • Link the programs in Pocket PC and PC by SMS • Write the code in PC programs to use Database
