ABSTRACT
Recently, the rapid evolution of broadband wireless communications and Internet changes the patterns of daily life and communications between people. Wireless communications integrating with global positioning system (GPS) can accurately calculate user’s positioning information. Subsequently the position information can be tracked and displayed on the Google map in mobile devices, such as smart phone, tablet and laptop. Additionally, people communicate with each other via wireless, Internet or smart phone to obtain the required geo-information services, such as restaurants, aircraft or rail timetable enquiries, tour planning, emergency rescue, traffic accidents and so on. The LBS (Location-based Service) application also provides users not only with value-add services, but also creates the service provider revenue.
In this study, we implement a vehicle management system for golf carts operating in the golf course. Using intelligent handheld devices as communication and locating devices, and integrating with the GUI and the Google Map capabilities, golfers can obtain the dynamic status of the course directly from the handheld devices. Golf carts position and relevant status data can be transmitted via the wideband wireless communication network to the cloud platform and displayed on the web page for real-time fleet monitoring and management purpose. Due to the continuous developing in capabilities and applications of smart handheld devices and GAE platform, the results of this study can be easily extended to other vehicle management systems not limited to the golf carts fleet in the golf courses.
