Abstract: This paper introduces a computer modeling approach for mining vehicle fleet monitoring based on a traffic modeling software solution. Computer modeling helps to reduce prototyping costs and lower the risks of initial launch failure by analyzing and configuring the prototype in order to test various options and find the most fitting ones. By utilizing computer modeling approach, we show in the first part of the paper that it is possible to test multiple combinations of metrics retrieved during vehicle monitoring in the simulation as opposed to adding equipment to vehicles during the prototyping phase. Usage of real hardware during the prototype phase adds downtime to the vehicle fleet and reduces productivity. Alongside those downsides, it also adds potential costs if this configuration will have to change later. By leveraging modern time-series data storage solutions we present how easy it can be to analyze data retrieved from the simulation. In the second part of the paper, we then propose a workflow of integrating SUMO with a time-series data storage through an Application Programming Interface (API) called TraCI allowing for aggregation of vehicle fleet data over time and visualizing that data on the dashboard. In the end of this work, we discuss the methodology of measurement taking and propose a potential solution for efficient data transfer.
