The VehTrak end user software is simply a Web Browser. Users access the
VehTrak system by pointing their browser at the VehTrak server. The
current and historical location data is accessed as a standard web page.
The VehTrak map is also accessed via a web browser.
This browser based user interface
allows many users in your organization to use the VehTrak system without
the headache of maintaining a software installation on each user's computer.
Additionally, as new features are added to VehTrak, only the server software
needs to be upgraded, allowing all end users to automatically have access
to the new features.
If a heavyweight, traditional client application is desired, the vehtrak server
can still be used, with the heavyweight client accessing location data through
the VehTrak Web Service or RMI interface. See the
Application Server Software section of
this site for details on the web based user interface and mapping, as well
as the interface points for a custom built client application.
