Cloudberry Application Integration

A standard XML interface speeds Cloudberry integration.

Integrating real-time tracking and messaging information into enterprise, e-business, and third-party applications is quick and easy with Cloudberry's XML-based application programming interface (API). The API and a library of Web-service routines—which are shared at no charge—accelerate the development of custom system interfaces and Web-based tracking applications, using the same set of tools that Air-Trak used to create the Cloudberry Web display.

The following functionality and information is accessible with Cloudberry's XML interface:

• Mobile Unit Management
• Simple Routing
• Geocoding
• Messaging
• Web Parts

Mobile Unit Management

• A list of mobile units associated with an account number
• A list of times that a mobile unit was in motion
• The location of a mobile unit
• The approximate number of miles driven by a mobile unit between a start and end time
• Mobile Unit Configuration
  • The number of minutes between position reports
  • The number of minutes a tracked asset must remain stationary before it is considered to be loitering
  • Minimum heading change required for position report to be generated
  • Turn tracking on and off
  • Turn telemetry on and off

Simple Routing

• Turn-by-turn driving instructions from the most recent location of a mobile unit to a point of interest or street address
• Turn-by-turn driving instructions as an array of waypoint structures from the most recent location of a mobile unit to a street address
• Turn-by-turn driving instructions as a contiguous string from the most recent location of a mobile unit to the next route location
• A list of points of interest within a radius of a mobile unit
• A list of mobile units that are within a radius of a location

Geocoding
The latitude and longitude of a:

• street address
• center point of an area code
• center point of a zip code
• center point of a county
• center point of a city

Messaging

• Send an e-mail message with subject and body
• Retrieve messages sent by a mobile unit

Web Parts

• Generate map images with mobile unit locations plotted
• Control zoom level, map content, and map size
• Point of interest information
