Typical Workflow to Monitor a Simulated Shipment

Create a Truck simulation model using the IoT Digital Twin Simulator application and then use the Truck simulation model to create simulated device instances. Start the simulator and its associated shipment, and then monitor the shipment on Oracle IoT Fleet Monitoring Cloud Service.

Note:

The Shipment business object will be deprecated in a future release. Hence it is recommended to use Trips for real-time monitoring of in-transit movements.

Simulated devices behave like real devices. You can control and monitor the devices in real time, turn them off and on, and configure the devices to generate alerts and events.

The simulated devices are linked, tracked, and monitored in Oracle IoT Fleet Monitoring Cloud Service, which allow you to test the application's capabilities and features.

Typically shipments data is imported from an external transportation management systems, such as Oracle Transportation Management Cloud Service. Without importing shipment data, you can create a simulated shipment and monitor it in Oracle IoT Fleet Monitoring Cloud Service. Use REST APIs to create and start a simulated shipment.

Access the IoT Digital Twin Simulator Dashboard	The IoT Digital Twin Simulator Dashboard provides a set of defined existing simulation models, and the statuses of the simulated devices associated with these models. Use the dashboard to create a Truck simulator model.	Access the IoT Digital Twin Simulator Dashboard
Create the Truck Simulator Model	From the Oracle IoT Digital Twin Simulator application, you add a predefined Truck simulator model.	Add a Predefined Simulation Model in Oracle IoT Digital Twin Simulator
Modify Stop Addresses	Start the simulated device of the Truck simulator and modify the vehicle's start and stop addresses.	Modify Stop Addresses
Add a Device to the Truck Simulator Model	To the Truck simulator model, you add a simulated device. It has attributes, alerts, and events, which you can customize.	Create a Simulated Device in IoT Device Simulator
Add the Required Device Model to Oracle IoT Fleet Monitoring Application	After starting the simulated device of the Truck simulator, the urn:com:oracle:iot:device:obd2 device model gets added to the IoT platform. From the Oracle IoT Platform UI, select Oracle IoT Fleet Monitoring Cloud Service and add that device model to the application.	Assign a Device Model
Create the Required Vehicle Type to Oracle IoT Fleet Monitoring Cloud Service	Add a vehicle type using the urn:com:oracle:iot:device:obd2 device model in Oracle IoT Fleet Monitoring Cloud Service.	Create a Vehicle Type
Create the Vehicle to Oracle IoT Fleet Monitoring Cloud Service	Add a vehicle using the vehicle type in Oracle IoT Fleet Monitoring Cloud Service.	Create a Vehicle
Link the Vehicle's Sensor Attributes to the Simulated Device	Link the vehicle's sensor attributes in Oracle IoT Fleet Monitoring Cloud Service with the attributes of the simulated device of the Truck simulator.	Edit Vehicle Details and Device Sensor Attributes
Start the Simulated Vehicle	Enable the simulated device of the Truck simulator, assign stop addresses, and start it.	Start a Simulated Vehicle
Monitor the Vehicle the Map View	Monitor the vehicle whose sensors are connected to the simulated device, on the map view of Oracle IoT Fleet Monitoring Cloud Service.	Locate Your Vehicles in the Fleet Map
Create a User With a Driver Role	Before you create and start a shipment, you need to create an user with a driver role and add the user to the organization of Oracle IoT Fleet Monitoring Cloud Service.	Create a New User Assign Users to an Organization
Create and Start a Simulated Shipment	To produce shipment data, invoke specific REST APIs to create a simulated shipment and start it.	Create Shipment Start a Shipment
Monitor the Simulated Shipment	Track the simulated shipment on the map view and monitor the shipment details.	View Shipment Route Details View Shipment Details
