A STUDY OF COMMUNICATION IMPROVMENT FOR FLEET MANAGEMENT SYSTEMS IN INTERNET OF THING ENVIROMENT USING MESSAGE QUEUING TELEMETRY TRANSPORT (MQTT)

Abstract

Fleet management systems play an important role in our daily life. However, most of traditional fleet management systems use HTTP-based protocols for communications, which may cause a serious overhead communication problem and limited intergration capabilities. This characteristic hinders the taking advantage of these devices in developing the management systems with more features and intelligent in the Internet of things. In this study, the authors propose an application of using Message Queuing Telemetry Transport (MQTT) in fleet management systems, which has ability to support low bandwidth and high latency network environment over long-distance areas. To evaluate the proposed approach, the authors used the Elipse Mosquitto 1.4.9 open source software suite to simulate the MQTT Broker of the control center based on Windows Server operating system. The communication scenarios are established using Java programming language. The proposed architecture is intended to improve the efficiency of communication that was used in the traditional systems.
