Route monitoring and management platform based on Traccar

TripTrack is a real-time GPS device monitoring and tracking platform, designed to visualize routes, manage devices, and analyze trajectories through a modern web interface.

The system is based on the open-source Traccar software, which has been extended and modified to adapt to new use cases such as:

  • Tourism agencies
  • Mobile workforce monitoring
  • Logistics tracking
  • IoT device monitoring

TripTrack allows users to visualize real-time locations, analyze traveled routes, and manage devices from a centralized web dashboard.
