Thesis (M.Eng.)--Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Dept. of Civil and Environmental Engineering, 2003.
Includes bibliographical references (leaf 60).
Advances in GPS (Global Positioning System) technology and wireless communication have introduced new grounds for applications in tracking systems. In addition, the rapid proliferation of the internet as a ubiquitous network to share and exchange information has created a new channel to reach clients or businesses. This has enabled the integration of disparate technologies into one system: an innovative tracking system that provides its users with a real-time monitoring method from any web-enabled device. This thesis explores the development of a GPS-enabled tracking system implemented on a Web services architecture. Web services building blocks will be described from a technical and business perspective with special emphasis on the viable business model that can be adopted by potential Web services providers.
