Details of Fleet Software, Vigil Geo and Insite i2

The web server and client package (hereafter termed "FLEET") communicates to (Vigil Geo and Insitei2) the Remote Terminal Units (RTUs) via the Short Messaging Service (SMS) supported by the Global System for Mobile communications (GSM) system.  The RTUs have been designed to be monitored and controlled entirely by SMS messages from a customer's cellular mobile telephone.  However, in systems including many RTUs, the demand upon a customer may become onerous, and a FLEET system can be used as an efficient "Human Machine Interface" (HMI).

The features of the RTUs include:

• Global Positioning System (GPS) receiver (longitude, latitude, course, speed, altitude, and geofence alarm)
• 8 contact inputs
• Temperature, battery charger and SOS alarms
• 2 analog inputs
• 2 switched outputs

The features of the FLEET software include:

• Optional support for longitude and latitude display of assets and asset movement by Google maps
• Table style display of assets, incoming / outgoing SMS messages and user information
• User configurable display of alarms associated with inputs and outputs, including colour coded configurable text, acknowledgement, inhibiting and audible alert
• The overriding emphasis in the system design has been on ease of installation and use by end customers, which meant that all database and web server functionality has been built in.  This is a tiny, light weight, ridiculously simple to install application that runs invisibly in the background (as a Windows NT service).  Its operator interface is any of the popular web browsers, and it supports simultaneous access by multiple operators.  Changing information (eg. position of an asset) is pushed to the web browsers in near real time.

The FLEET software consists of the following elements:

• A server with integrated web server and database
• The server serves up an embedded web page (including Google maps support) and a client applet to web browsers such as Microsoft Internet Explorer, Mozilla Firefox or Google Chrome

 The requirements to run the FLEET software include:

• Microsoft Windows XP or Microsoft Server 2003
• Java runtime environment, available free of charge from Sun Microsystems at java.com (version 6 update 13 or later)
• If the optional Google maps facilities are required, the server computer must have internet access, both outgoing and incoming.  This is standard for any internet web server, which will require you to register a domain name (eg. insitefleet.com) and obtain a fixed IP address from your internet service provider, or settle for the less expensive dynamic IP address but sign up with a dynamic DNS service such as dyndns.com.  In addition, to make use of the Google maps functionality, you must agree to Google's "Terms of Service" and sign up for a Google "API key" from the Google web site. This is a very simple process. A fee is also payable for the commercial use of this service.
• The communications between the FLEET software and the RTUs requires a GSM modem of approved (that is, tested with this system) type.  This system has been tested with the the Sierra Wireless Compass 885, and it is very likely that later Sierra Wireless models will also be compatible. 
• Communications between the FLEET software and the RTUs can also be supported by the use of email between the server and an email/SMS service such as ipipi.  However, the the requirement for a GSM modem is still mandatory as it supports the FLEET software licensing. A service such as ipipi incurs a charge by them, however they provide an international service, and as an alternative many cellular mobile carriers provide a similar service free of charge to their customers.
