Improving the Fleet Monitoring Management, through a Software Platform with IoT

IoT can provide a stable support to the management of fleets, by means of the use of diverse sensors and the development of software tools that allow the storage and the treatment of the sensed data. Considering the advance of the technologies and the companies, the development of the software systems must support high availability, reliability, and scalability, being these attributes of optimum quality for the management of fleets. This article introduces an online system that incorporates IoT, microservices, containers and the treatment of the OBD (On-Board Diagnostics) for each vehicle in the fleet, with the ultimate goal of achieving effective monitoring of it. The results of the usability analysis of the platform are presented in conjunction with the road tests, as well as the conclusions.
