Monitor The Experimental Platform, Based On Mapx Logistics Information

GIS (Geographical Information Systems) is a new geographical research technology which across several knowledge and has been developed from 1960s. Using GIS technology can integrate different kinds of space and non-space data and offer a diverse and graphic information expression form. GIS technology has bring to huge effect on such fields as: traffic, logistics, environmental protection, geological environment.This dissertation is focused on the application of GIS technology in logistics monitoring fields. There is an experiment logistics monitoring system built by the SDK module named MapX and product by Mapinfo Co.Ltd. The first part of dissertation studied the feature and function of the GIS system based on MapX, and described some related technology such as GPS, GPRS and Socket Network Listening; The second part of this dissertation give the frame of the monitoring system, under this frame the Socket API function has been used to finish the communication with the GPRS wireless network terminals, then the system takes advantage of the strong graphic expression form of MapX to achieve the real time monitoring and offers some electronic map functions to make an easy control. Some unexpections of MapX functions during the development course and their solutions are put out in the second part. The third part of the dissertation debugged the hole system and give out some summary and prospect.This system is suitable to personal computers, it can not only offer a graphic and stable logistics information monitor system, but also save lots of resource of the system and network. By this application, this dissertation shows a significant value on building a modern logistics monitoring system.
