Typical Workflow to Monitor a Simulated Vehicle

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 monitor the simulated vehicles and devices on Oracle IoT Fleet Monitoring Cloud Service.

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.

You can customize the device attributes, alerts, and actions in your simulation models, which can replicate your real sensor devices. You can also add events, images, and data sources for your simulation models.

Modify Stop Addresses of a Truck Simulator

The Truck simulator can be customized by modifying its attributes, images, events, and functions. The stop addresses represent the start, stop, and destination locations of a vehicle, which you can modify to meet your test criteria for monitoring the vehicle on the map view of Oracle IoT Fleet Monitoring Cloud Service.

You should have created a Truck simulator using the Oracle IoT Digital Twin Simulator application. See Task 2 in Typical Workflow to Monitor a Simulated Vehicle

1. Access the Oracle IoT Digital Twin Simulator application by navigating to the URL: https://myiotcs.mydomain.oraclecloud.com/ds. Replace myiotcs with your IoT instance name and mydomain.oraclecloud.com by the domain name of your instance.
2. Enter your Oracle Identity Cloud Service credentials and click Sign In.

   The Simulations dashboard of the Oracle IoT Digital Twin Simulator application appears.

3. On the Simulations dashboard, click Edit on the Truck simulator model.

   The resulting page displays the attributes, device models, events, alerts, function, and images used in the simulator model.

   Note:

   Do not modify the value of Messaging Interval.
4. Scroll down to the Functions section and identify the yiLocations function.
5. On the Definition text area of yiLocations, use the down-arrow key to move to its end. Before the closing square bracket, insert a comma, and enter your stop address within double quotation marks.

   Note:

   • You can delete the existing addresses and enter as many stop addresses you want, in any order.
   • Ensure that each address appears within double quotes and all the comma separated addresses are enclosed in square brackets. For example, ["address 1","address 2","address 3"].
   • Separate each field of an address by a comma, such as, "street,city,state,postal code,country". For example, ["4210 Network Cir, Santa Clara,95054,US","Winters Chapel Rd,Doraville,GA,30360, US","9 Murray Rose Avenue, Sydney Olympic Park, NSW, 2127, Australia"].
6. Scroll up or down, locate the Save button, and click Save.

You can view the new stop address values after you've added a device to the Truck simulator. To create a device, see Task 4 of Typical Workflow to Monitor a Simulated Vehicle.

In the Truck simulator, for a device, click View .

On the Controls section, click the Stop 1, Stop 2, or Stop 3 drop down, and view your new stop address in the list.

Start a Simulated Vehicle

Start the simulated device of the Truck simulator of the Oracle IoT Digital Twin Simulator application..

You should have created the Truck simulator and added a device to the Truck Simulator. See Task 2 and Task 4 in Typical Workflow to Monitor a Simulated Vehicle

1. Access the Oracle IoT Digital Twin Simulator application by navigating to the URL: https://myiotcs.mydomain.oraclecloud.com/ds. Replace myiotcs with your IoT instance name and mydomain.oraclecloud.com by the domain name of your instance.
2. Enter your Oracle Identity Cloud Service credentials and click Sign In.

   The Simulations dashboard of the Oracle IoT Digital Twin Simulator application appears.

3. On the Simulations dashboard, click the Truck simulator model.

   The resulting page displays a device added to the Truck simulator.

4. To edit the device details, click the device name.

   The Device Status page is displayed.

5. In the Device Monitoring section, enable Status to ON.
6. In the Controls section, click the Stop 1 drop-down, and select the starting stop of a trip.
7. Click Stop 2 and select an intermediate stop. Similarly, select the destination of the trip in Stop 3. If there is no intermediate stop, then select the same value for Stop 2 and Stop 3.
8. To start the simulated device, click Drive to Destination.
9. Click Close .
10. Ensure that the Running field of the device displays as Running.
