= Blueprint for Realtime Victim Tracking and Tracing =

See also: [wiki:BluePrintGISRealTimeTracking GIS Real Time Tracking]

== Tracking System ==

This is proposed to be done using the [wiki:BluePrintGISSOSLayers SOS Layer].

Objects in this description can be persons or person groups, but also other items (e.g. dead bodies, vehicles).

== Model ==

 * Store different positions and position-related additional data (e.g. speed, course, ...) of objects/object groups related to time (points/intervals)
 * Allow definition/aggregation of object groups/subgroups and categories/subcategories
 * Distinguish between first, past, current and forecasted positions

== View ==

 * Display tracks of positions of objects or object groups over a (user-defined) time interval
 * Plot traces between positions
 * Use certain indicators for additional data (such as speed or course) to mark (selected) positions
 * Link additional information from the markers, e.g. free text, wiki-text, URLs

 * Example UI: http://www.opengts.org

== Controller ==

 * CRUD functions for objects and groups/categories (RESTlike?)

 * Take up real-time position data of objects from external sources and update the database
 * Allow data transmission on multiple/parallel ways, e.g. HTTP, SMS, E-Mail, ...more?
 * Transmission should be as easy, available, reliable and '''energy-efficient''' as possible
 * Use derived/inherited data to minimize data transfer

 * Forecast object positions (and other object features)
 * Allow splitting of objects/groups into subdivisions

 * make location and status information of victims available through person-related modules (DVR, DVI)

== Other clients (e.g. on mobile devices) ==

 * Capture real-time position data (and other information) of objects and send them to the server
 * Allow data transfer on multiple ways (even in parallel)

 * Read data of e.g. disaster victims (displaced/injured/deceased persons) from tags (e.g. barcode, QR Code, RFID)
