Implementation of Internet-based land vehicle tracking system using Java

A land vehicle tracking system, which can efficiently monitor and control vehicles, has been researched and developed continuously in the area of commercial vehicle operations. Such a system should be able to satisfy users, who want to track a vehicle or a cargo, by providing its position on a digital map in real time. So far, several GIS strategies have been devised and adopted to develop a land vehicle tracking system, but there is no proper solution suitable for the Internet environment. As a new solution to develop such a system, this paper introduces and describes the Internet-based hybrid client-server methodology using Java
