-===== Story =====+===== Story 6  SimpleTrack Simplification ​===== 
 + 
 +SimpleTrack started as a self-reporting G-ray replacement and evolved into a much more capable and cost-effective device than I had imagined. Over time it's acquired some additional complexity to add capability beyond being on a box on the roof and I believe we need to simplify what's there and split the functionality off into it's own application like truck tracking.  
 + 
 +Things like load counts designed for human consumption aren't appropriate for box on the roof.  
 + 
 +==== Story 6 notes applicable as of SimpleTrack 1.28 8-9-2018 ==== 
 + 
 +The UK experiment found two inexpensive phones they purchased to not have unique serial numbers. The 1.28 version gives the option of using the IMEI number instead. The default is still to use the shorter, more readable serial number but this gives the option to switch. The serial number "​0123456789ABCDEF"​ has also been blacklisted and when encountered the default will go to IMEI instead. In the odd case that an IMEI doesn'​t exist with a blacklisted serial number, the system will generate a unique AG###### number that is persistent as long as the program is not uninstalled. The simpletrack bug # is 36. 
 + 
 +===== Story 7  Truck Tracking ===== 
 + 
 +Truck tracker constraints 
 + 
 +  * Trucks are often for hire so using a box on the roof isn't optimal. You might not get it back 
 +  * The phones in trucker'​s pockets are of mixed operating systems. Accommodating background operations in IOS is one of the technical challenges 
 +  * Since the truck driver isn't an employee there'​s a need to avoid the conventional userid/​password login 
 +  * Trucks carry varied loads throughout the day. Tagging the load means there'​s some sort of user interface required that's probably different than SimpleTrack. 
 +  * Reporting every 5 minutes is fine for on-site machinery but trucks have varying timeliness requirements. For example, knowing where a truck is in nearly real-time when approaching the job site or hot plant allows the foreman to make tactical adjustments based on his distance.

-This story is a combination of SimpleTrack and the Trackserver and SimpleTrack may even be spun off as a differently named app variation to distinguish between AGTEK distributed and Store distributed. ​ 
  
-SimpleTrack is great if you have employees but in some cases like trucks, the operators are independents. For the most part SimpleTrack functions correctly for even this but because a driver doesn'​t always work for the company and may even work for several companies there'​s an idea of creating an App for the Google Play and Itunes store. ​ 
  
-The current implementation uses our standard login/​password implementation but with these remote/non employee it would be nice to have a way of giving that user a code that would serve as login/​password and potentially route the tracks to the correct project as well. The difficulty is in coming up with a reasonable in length/​security/​ and uniqueness since this potentially could originate from any company on the server.
