3. Introduction
 Maps are older then alphabets.
 Radio Navigation Systems: NAVSTAR GPS (USA), GLONASS
(Russia), GALELIO (Europe).
 Implementation of radio navigation system in vehicles.
 Fleet management system.
 This paper describes the development of a web platform to
make it possible for companies to track, in real time, their
vehicles.

4. Project presentation (1)
 Goal:
 Need: Track, in real time, vehicles equipped with a GPS module.
 Answer: Develop a web platform using J2EE technology to
satisfy this need.
 This project consists of three parts:
 A J2EE Server.
 A database.
 A consultation website.

9. Technologies used (4)
 Detail of the J2EE elements:
This project can be divided into three parts:
1. The J2EE server:
 Wait for the connection of one or more clients,
 Connect to the database,
 Receive data, process it and insert it into the database,
 Disconnect from the database,
 Wait for the connection of new customers.

2. The database:
The database must contain:
 Data on vehicle owners,
 Data on vehicles,
 The positions of vehicles.
3. The consultation website:
 Safe Identification of the Owner,
 The return of the vehicle position,
 Contain an administrator party with a form to register new
users.

13. Conception and realization (3)
 Realization:
1. The database:
 Take into account several parameters (speed and reliability)
to select a database management system.
 Existing DBMSs: MySQL, Access and Oracle.
 I want a light, reliable, and free database which supports a
large number of simultaneous connections.
 The best choice is MySQL.

20. Conclusion and future work (2)
 Opportunity to discover the professional world, its realities,
from the angle adaptation and difficulties.
 Opportunity to learn self reliability and autonomy.
 Future work:
 The challenges of the implementation are not all solved.
 My web platform is not so complete and can be easily
improved.
 I suggest to enhance the graphical side of the web platform.
 Add more features such as a chat rooms.
