Traccar is a GPS tracking platform for monitoring vehicles, equipment, people and other assets. It consists of a Java-based server together with a browser interface and companion applications, and can be deployed on infrastructure controlled by the user.
A major strength is hardware compatibility. Traccar understands more than 200 tracking protocols and thousands of device models, ranging from inexpensive personal trackers to professional fleet hardware. Location data is stored in a SQL database and can be accessed through the web interface or integrated into other systems through its REST API.
This is free and open source software.
