01Context
A logistics company needed to know where its trucks were in real time, including on routes with no cellular coverage.
02Solution
Embedded GNSS devices on the trucks send their position to a real-time web monitoring platform. Starlink provides connectivity in areas without cellular coverage.
03Architecture
- 01
ESP32-S3 (Heltec Wireless Tracker) with GNSS on each truck
- 02
Starlink as the uplink in areas with no signal
- 03
Traccar server (OsmAnd protocol over HTTP)
- 04
React web platform for administrators and clients
04My role
- Developed the embedded firmware for GNSS capture and sending positions over HTTP.
- Adapted the Traccar backend and deployed the tracking server.
- Redesigned the web interface with admin and client views, desktop and mobile versions, and light and dark modes.
- Hardware documentation, version control and milestone-based project planning.
