GeoMoV: um framework para georreferenciamento de objetos em movimento

Abstract

With the expansion of smart cities and the increasing use of the Internet of Things, one of the emerging topics is the tracking of moving objects, which brings several challenges. This work focuses on this theme by defining and implementing a framework that allows for the collection, organization, storage, and retrieval of real-time geographic information from moving objects. The proposed framework is named GeoMoV and should handle dynamic data, have an extensible structure, and be compatible with market standards. Dealing with dynamic data means that system developers should be able to manipulate fields and values that compose the application while it is running, without the need to release a new version or implement new entities every time a change in the data format is required. In addition, a service called Tracking Service was implemented, which uses GeoMoV following a microservices architecture. The work also includes the evaluation of the Tracking Service compared to another application developed using the framework, the name of this other service is GeoTrack. The structure of the work consists of chapters that address the theoretical foundation, the implementation of the framework and service, and finally, the discussion of the obtained results.
