Location tracking

Through the use of geospatial analytics and tracking novel use cases can be imagined and realised.

---

This use case demonstrates geospatial location alerting using mobile location data and user defined geofences. When a mobile enters a geofence zone a tracking trigger is generated and tracked until the user exits the geofence. Three tracking states are generated per entity; Entered, dwelling and exitted. Geofences are manually defined within the configuration file.

Use case configuration

File: app-geotrackedDevices.env

SOURCEFILE=conf/sources/mobileSimulatedStream.yaml
ENGINEFILE=conf/usecases/analytics/mobileEventGeoTrackingAndAlertingStream.yaml
PUBLISHFILE=conf/publishers/anonymisedGeoTrackedMobileEventFile.yaml

Pipeline configuration

This pipeline will add tracking geofence Ids, using defined geofences, to an event once a device as entered.
