Oracle by Example brandingTrack Trips in an Oracle IoT Fleet Monitoring Cloud Service Application

section 0Before You Begin

This 15-minute tutorial shows you, a fleet manager, how to track vehicles and trips in the Oracle Internet of Things (IoT) Fleet Monitoring Cloud Service application.

This is the second tutorial in Quick Start Tutorials for the Oracle IoT Fleet Monitoring Cloud Service Application. Read the tutorials sequentially.

Background

Vision Corporation, a tablets and smartphones manufacturer, wants to optimize the supply chain management of its display pickers, glue dispensers, and display mounters. The company is using a new type of glue that will avoid temperature fluctuations and improve the reliability of displays.

To avoid production delays, the company implemented an Oracle IoT Fleet Monitoring Cloud Service application so that it can track glue shipments from the warehouse to the factory. The application is configured to generate alerts (vehicle departure and speed), trigger incidents (vehicle breakdown), and display vehicle status.

In this tutorial, you use the Oracle IoT Fleet Monitoring Cloud Service application to track the trips. You create rules, track alerts, and manage incidents. The Oracle IoT Digital Twin Simulator application generates data about the vehicle.

What Do You Need?

section 1Configure Rules

When a specified condition causes a service disruption, a rule in the Oracle IoT Fleet Monitoring Cloud Service application can trigger an incident or an alert. In this section, you create rules that generate alerts when a truck leaves the warehouse, a driver speeds, or a truck breaks down.

  1. Sign in to your instance of the Oracle IoT Fleet Monitoring Cloud Service application.
  2. Click Menu Menu icon, and then click Rules.
  3. On the Rules page, click Create New Rule Create New icon.
  4. On the Create New Rule page, enter or select the following values, and then click Save and Back:

section 3Track Alerts

In this section, you use the simulator to start the vehicle, modify its speed, and then track the alerts that are triggered in the Oracle IoT Fleet Monitoring Cloud Service application.

  1. Sign in to the Oracle IoT Digital Twin Simulator application at https://your Oracle IoT Cloud Service instance name/ds.
  2. On the Simulations page, click Truck.
  3. On the Truck page, in the row of the device data, click View View icon.
  4. On the Device Status page, in the CONTROLS section, ensure that the value of START is 4120 Network Circle, Santa Clara, and select 1 Market, San Francisco, CA, 94105, US for DESTINATION.
  5. Click DRIVE to DESTINATION, and slide the SPEED bar to 60 KPH.
  6. Sign in to your instance of the Oracle IoT Fleet Monitoring Cloud Service application.
  7. Click Menu Menu icon, and then click Fleet.
  8. On the map, locate the vehicle in Santa Clara, click the Vehicle icon, and then click View View icon.
  9. On the Vehicle: T680 page, click the Alerts tab Alerts icon, and verify that an alert was triggered due to the TruckLeavingWarehouse rule.
  10. Repeat steps 1, 2, and 3, and then, on the Device Status page, slide the SPEED bar to 145 KPH.
  11. Repeat steps 6, 7, and 8, and then, on the Vehicle: T680 page, click the Alerts tab Alerts icon, and verify that an alert was triggered due to the DriverSpeeding rule.
