I consult for a taxi company that uses the stoic system to track movements of cars on a 24/7 basis. They have a department just to pore through the stoic data to detect drivers mischief.

@Peter, Another thing that I have seen done in practice is that you can define the shapes of areas that the cab drivers should drive within as polygons on a map drawn to a certain scale in a system. After that just collect the co-ordinates of the taxis as they move in towns / cities /counties in real-time. If they go out of the boundaries agreed upon, have the system raise an exception. If you have the driver's details, call them up and ask them what is going on. At times, their ``mischief'' is normally out of good reasons such as the presence of jams in road traffic or the occurrence of an unusual situation, such as an ambulance or a fleet of fire-fighters moving around.

@Martin, that is an interesting approach, never heard of it before. How then would the software *remember* that certain drivers are more prone to going out of shape, or even co-relate data from several drivers so that if all of them go out of shape within a given window of time, that would not be flagged as mischief. @Peter, thanks for that document, it makes VERY exciting reading.

You simply store the data on the drivers' trajectories to particular destinations in a persistent form or storage. Relational databases are the most commonly used means for their simplicity and power.
The frequency with which this collection of vehicle co-ordinates varies, say every five seconds, maybe more / less. This has interesting effects on what you can see on display or the kind of analytics that are made possible. At the end of the day, you need an individual to do the monitoring of situations surrounding the drivers. Probably you can find a suitable alternative to that. Martin.

@Karunyu, You'd need to build logic around the data collected as indicated by Martin. Human intervention comes into place also to filter out false positives. Its the same method used by research companies to monitor users collecting data in the field to ensure they collect data within their assigned location.

You'd need to build logic around the data collected as indicated by Martin. Human intervention comes into place also to filter out false positives.

@Martin, that is an interesting approach, never heard of it before.

You simply store the data on the drivers' trajectories to particular destinations in a persistent form or storage. Relational databases are the most commonly used means for their simplicity and power.
The frequency with which this collection of vehicle co-ordinates varies, say every five seconds, maybe more / less. This has interesting effects on what you can see on display or the kind of analytics that are made possible. At the end of the day, you need an individual to do the monitoring of situations surrounding the drivers. Probably you can find a suitable alternative to that.

@Peter, thanks for that document, it makes VERY exciting reading.

@Peter,
Another thing that I have seen done in practice is that you can define the shapes of areas that the cab drivers should drive within as polygons on a map drawn to a certain scale in a system. After that just collect the co-ordinates of the taxis as they move in towns / cities /counties in real-time.
If they go out of the boundaries agreed upon, have the system raise an exception. If you have the driver's details, call them up and ask them what is going on. At times, their ``mischief'' is normally out of good reasons such as the presence of jams in road traffic or the occurrence of an unusual situation, such as an ambulance or a fleet of fire-fighters moving around.
