Near Real-time Tracking System
Originator and participant in almost all project development phases of the project for position tracking. The system ensures that data is collected from different sources (GPS, radar, open source) establishing a unique database (PostgreSQL, Hibernate ORM). The system is designed using client-server architecture, with the possibility for the client to manipulate tracked data and with an automatic correlation system that ensures unique identification of data tracked from different sources.
