Abstract

------------- Abstract ------------- Daimler FleetBoard offers telematic services by means of a special hardware installed in customers’ vehicles to collect and send data to the FleetBoard’s Service Centre (FBSC) platform. FBSC is in charge of receiving, processing and storing data generated by vehicles. The quality assurance and testing department guarantees that the telematic services meet their purpose, and no failures exist in the system. In that way, software to simulate vehicles’ behaviour is required to test the functionalities of FBSC. However, the problem rises since this software uses simulated data instead of real data. In addition, the process of creating routes for simulations is manual. Based on the mentioned problems, the objective of this thesis is to design, implement and evaluate a prototype as mechanism of importing routes generated by real vehicles to the simulator’s database, to emphasise on using real data for simulations. Additionally, the process of creating routes is optimized using Web Map Services to automate this process. Consequently, an evaluation of the prototypical implementation is considered to guarantee the proper operation of the prototype’s layers: WEB GUI (supported by Java Server Faces), business logic and the persistence layer (fostered by Java Persistence API).
