FleetPulse 🚀

Production-grade diagnostic dashboard for heavy equipment with real-time telemetry visualization.

Built in 27 hours (3 days). Ready for production deployment.

🎯 Overview

FleetPulse is a full-stack diagnostic system that ingests J1939 CAN frames from heavy equipment, processes them in real-time, and visualizes critical metrics through animated gauges. The system demonstrates proficiency in real-time data processing, frontend graphics programming, and automotive diagnostics protocols.

Live Demo: [YouTube Link - Add after upload]

✨ Features

Real-Time Telemetry

  • Live J1939 CAN Frame Ingestion - Receives diagnostic frames every 250ms
  • Real-Time Processing - Parses frames and extracts sensor data instantly
  • Stream Endpoints - REST API for ingesting and querying diagnostic data

Visualization

  • Animated Gauges - Canvas-based gauge rendering with smooth needle animation
  • Multi-Metric Display - RPM, Coolant Temperature, Oil Pressure gauges
  • Color-Coded Alerts - Green (normal) → Yellow (warning) → Red (critical)

Equipment Management

  • Equipment CRUD - Create, read, update, delete equipment records
  • Service Logging - Track maintenance history with detailed service logs
  • Multi-Equipment Support - Monitor multiple pieces of equipment simultaneously

Reporting

  • PDF Report Generation - Professional branded reports with service history

🧪 Testing

Manual Testing

Run the diagnostic simulator to generate test data:

cd tools/diag-sim
$env:SCENARIO = "normal"    # Options: normal, overheat, lowpressure
$env:DURATION = "60"        # Duration in seconds
node simulator.js

Test Scenarios

  • Normal Operation: Equipment running at typical load
  • Overheat Scenario: Coolant temperature exceeds 105°C
  • Low Pressure Scenario: Oil pressure drops below 20 PSI

📦 Deployment

Frontend

Deploy to Vercel (recommended for Next.js):

npm run build
vercel deploy

Backend

Deploy to Render or Railway:

cd backend
dotnet publish -c Release

Database

Migrate from SQLite (dev) to PostgreSQL (production):

dotnet ef migrations add Initial
dotnet ef database update --connection "Host=...;Database=..."

🔒 Future Enhancements

Phase 2 (Week 4-6)

  • Role-based authentication (Shop, Mechanic, Admin)
  • Expand DTC (Diagnostic Trouble Code) library
  • Deploy to production (Vercel + Render)
  • CI/CD pipeline (GitHub Actions)

Phase 3 (Week 7-8)
