Users & Groups

Users

A customer account can have multiple users. Administrators can add, edit, and delete users. Conversely, users can add, edit, and delete places, conduct surveys, and track assets.

Groups

You can group users (and devices) together to make things more organized. You can create, edit, and delete groups and add or remove users from them. You can also set a default group to be shown when you visit the Users page. The page will also remember your most recent group selection.

A device or a user may be a part of several groups.

User Roles

Traxmate offers three preset User Roles: Admin, Users, and Guest. Within the Settings, you can create your customized User Roles. You can assign a profile picture, provide a description, and specify Access Rights, Processing Rules, and Alert Rules for each User Role. Access Rights determine which features and views a User Role can access. Processing Rules and Alert Rules function similarly to Device Types, enabling independent data processing and alert triggering for each User Role, regardless of the specific Device Type used.

Site Management

Places (Buildings, Areas and Locations)

A place can be considered a building, an area, or a location. A building is characterized by its walls and floors and may include features such as elevators, stairs, escalators, and doors. An area is defined by its shape, and users can upload a map. A location is a specific point marked on the map.

Places can be created by searching for a specific address or clicking on a location on the map. If users choose to make their places public, other users can then utilize that building and benefit from any positioning work that has been completed.

Building Shapes

The building shape refers to the outer shape of a building. Typically, this shape is automatically obtained from OpenStreetMap if the building information is available there. If not, it can be drawn manually. Building shapes also accommodate inner shapes that define open areas within the overall shape. These building shapes are helpful for accurately aligning floor maps with the building layout.

Floors

A building can have multiple floors with different shapes above and below ground level. The floors can be named either using a scheme or individually.

Users can upload floor maps for each building floor or specific areas to improve positioning and visualize the location and tracking of users and devices. The floor maps can be in PNG, JPEG, or SVG file format.

Feature Models

Feature models provide detailed descriptions of buildings or areas and outline how to navigate through them from point A to point B. The feature model for an area contains the specified routes that pass through it. Various features can be defined within a building to depict its layout and functionality more accurately. For instance, you can select the locations of closed doors during certain times of the day and the positions of stairs to assist a disabled person in finding an elevator instead. Feature models can be created and modified manually or uploaded in comma-separated .csv format, manipulating over 3000 nodes simultaneously. Additionally, it’s possible to define campus navigation, enabling seamless wayfinding through one or several buildings within an area.

Radio Environment Models

Indoor Surveys

Indoor Surveys capture the existing Wi-Fi and Bluetooth infrastructure within a building. The Combain AI Indoor Survey for Android conducts such a survey. When the app is run in Survey mode, it scans for Wi-Fi and Bluetooth signals and sends that data, along with the user’s current location, to Traxmate. Traxmate then uses this data to create a Radio Environment Model for indoor positioning.

Radio Environment Models

A Radio Environment Model is an electronic representation of the placement of beacons such as Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, Cellular Pico cells, Bluetooth AoA anchor points, 4G, and 5G within a particular area. This model is created through indoor surveys performed by one or more users. Once the surveys are completed, the data is sent to the system for processing into a Radio Environment Model. The newly generated model is then compared with existing models, and the one demonstrating the best results (e.g., smallest median error and best relative survey coverage) is published. This published Radio Environment Model is used for indoor positioning of devices or users. Additionally, the model can be manually edited by adding or editing beacons to improve the positioning accuracy.

Traxmate presents the Radio Environment Model in a heatmap of the median error, showing where, for instance, more beacons should be installed to improve positioning accuracy.

Multiple languages support

Traxmate currently offers support in three languages: English, Swedish, and Chinese. Users can select their preferred language, and different languages can be applied to users of the same account.

Traxmate API

Traxmate has a REST API that the Traxmate Web Front-end, the Traxmate App, and other external systems use to communicate with Traxmate. The Traxmate API includes functionality for logging in, creating places, adding devices and users, obtaining the location of devices and users, and more.

Traxmate Capture API

The Traxmate API’s /capture endpoint is where tracking devices submit their data. Processing Rules are used to parse the data coming through the /capture endpoint. A dedicated capture endpoint is available for high-volume usage. (The /capture endpoint at the visualize service routes traffic to the dedicated capture service. For high-volume users, it is recommended to route traffic directly to the capture service.) The Traxmate Capture API uses the Service Token as an access token.

Service Token

Each account can have one or several Service Tokens. Devices or external systems use these tokens to identify themselves when submitting data to the Traxmate Capture API. Device types can be automatically enrolled by default, assigning them to a service token. Any new devices that submit data with such a Service Token will then be enrolled as devices of that specified type. The default initial Service Token for the account can be accessed via the Account settings page or by making an API request to /customer/me.

API Documentation

Here, you can access the detailed Swagger documentation of the Traxmate API. The documentation is interactive and contains examples of requests and responses. Once logged in, you can make requests using your data.
