Trac-Car

Why Trac-Car?

Models enable deployment cost savings, ease of use, and a starting point for security on the way to the next leve of application automation.

For example, industry domain and logical models have enhanced and enabled implementations in sensor, field device, asset and vehicle tracking integration.

Knowledge management, and automated metadata production results in the ability to improved cost-effectiveness for building telemetry applications in an enterprise technology context.

Trac-Car UML Models
The Trac-Car UML Models provide an architecture framework for a head start on delivery of integration of applications, connected with existing technology.

The Technology Integration Metamodel provides a complete architecture framework and process for the integration of applications from an MDA approach.

The Technology Integration Model provides a common model for data exchange on standard technology capability e.g.

Portal/Workflow

Complex Event Processing

Data Distribution Services

Application Integration

Application domains include

Asset Management

Energy

Vehicle Tracking

Mobility Management

Geospatial

View an Enterprise Architecture Guide to the use of the model

Utilities CIM Model

The current Utilities CIM Model may be downloaded from the CIM User group website.

Trac-Car can provide integration of technology deployment models with the CIM

Contact us to discuss integration of the Utilities CIM with existing technology deployment using shared information and data models based on Utilities Domain Models.

About the Technology Integration Framework

The Technology Integration Framework is a delivery framework to assist organizations to monitor and manage the delivery of telemetry applications.

The Trac-Car UML Models provide a head start for organizations starting out, or rebuilding telemetry systems.

The types of application for the Technology Integration Framework include:

Equipment maintenance and inventory information gathering

Meter monitoring e.g. electrical, hydro, etc

Shipping of freight

Parcel tracking and management

Road toll monitoring

Fleet vehicle tracking

Road pricing

Biometric sensor monitoring e.g. in a healthcare context

The Technology Integration Framework is a framework to be populated by architects, program managers, analysts and developers who are making decisions about the kind of technology to be used for building telemetry systems.

It provides a template approach for documenting technology architecture artefacts and as an aid to decision making.

It is oriented towards telemetry applications, and it favours a Complex Event Processing and Data Integration approach to gathering telemetry data, as this is a very effective way to deal with the kinds of data volumes involved in many telemetry applications.

The framework also accommodates any kind of application integration, from web services, to adaptors, to electronic file transfer, to connect telemetry systems with existing corporate applications, packages and platforms.

It is vendor and technology neutral, and provides for a business process/ workflow centric automation of business requirements.

Technology Integration Metamodel

This architecture model is a UML 2.1 representation of the architecture artifacts required to build enterprise-strength telemetry applications and systems integration.

It is supplied for Sparx Systems Enterprise Architect technology.

It can be imported into any UML architecture modeling technology that supports XMI 2.1

The model encompasses definition of

Business Requirements

Business Process/Workflow

User Interaction

Information Models

Application and system metadata

Software platform, hosting and network infrastructure

Platforms - Windows and Unix

The Technology Integration Metamodel is available for Sparx Systems Enterprise Architect Version 7.5 and 8. This technology can be used to provide DDL Database scripts for logical data models are provided for the most popular databases:
IBM DB2; InterBase; Informix; Ingres; MySQL; SQL Server; PostgreSQL; Sybase Adaptive Server Anywhere and Adaptive Server Enterprise; and Oracle 9i, 10g and 11g.

Contact us for a free initial architecture assessment overview of how Trac-Car and partners could benefit your organization.

The Technology Integration Metamodel is also provided as XMI Version 2.1, which can be imported into any other UML architecture technology, that supports XMI 2.1.

Mobility Tracking Model

A foundation for building on demand enterprise-wide solutions, the Mobility Management model provides industry-leading framework for your mobile workforce field information to synchronise with existing portals, enterprise systems and reporting.

The Mobile Telemetry Entity Model maps the principle functions and data involved in real time tracking of a moving object by a telemetry device designed to transmit information over a wired or wireless network.

This model relates to an identifying technology, such as RFID or barcodes, the use of a device with a SIM card, that supplies a mobile workflow, collecting information about the tracked object at various locations.

Scenarios include:

Shipping container tracking
Parcels and Freight tracking
Transport e.g. vehicles passing a fixed point tracked by RFID

Biometric Sensor Telemetry Model

For medical sensor information to be integrated with a patient Electronic Health Record, and other health related data, the Health model provides an easy start to gathering data from health related telemetry devices.

The Biometric Sensor Entity Model maps the principle functions and data involved in the use of biometric devices in health care..

This model relates to various identification technologies, e.g. passive and active RFID, devices with a SIM card, barcodes and biometrics.

Scenarios include the collection of sensor data for a health care patient by a Care Facility Unit to be integrated with a patient record, as part of a collection of Electronic Health Records compiled by Care Professionals.

Vehicle Tracking Model

Designed to be up and running in a short timeframe, the Vehicle Tracking Model is a head start for collecting not only position data from vehicles on the road, but also information from on-board vehicle microcontrollers,

The Vehicle Telemetry Entity Model maps the principle functions and data involved in real time tracking of a vehicle with a GPS antenna by a telemetry device designed to transmit information over a wireless network.

This model relates to a device with a SIM card, which may integrate data on the device from vehicle microcontroller sources such as RPM and other on-board vehicle diagnostics.

Scenarios include:

Fleet vehicle tracking
Road pricing

Asset Management Model

For many companies, management of assets in the corporate portfolio is a matter of a spreadsheet here, a database there, and a document somewhere else. Information about assets can be collected using mobile devices, and integrated for reporting purposes.

The Asset Maintenance Entity Model maps the principle functions and data involved in routine and incidental equipment maintenance involving a telemetry device designed to transmit information over a wireless network.

This model relates to a mobile device with a SIM card, which may use RFID or barcodes to identify the equipment in a device workflow, or the device may include a smart chip fixed to the equipment relaying information via a WAN or LAN

Scenarios include:

Power utilities equipment maintenance
Equipment inventories
Electricity and other types of meter monitoring

With our partners, we can provide a model based deployment of integration services based on logical data models, providing common message formats and standard interfaces, using CIM model elements as the logical basis for all Utility specific information, data and function.
