Real Time Vehicle Tracking App

Real Time Vehicle Tracking App with web socket Built using Flutter

Description

This is a demo project provide the idea how real time tracking work based on web socket protocol,
i used Bloc pattern to provide a more realistic example.

The tracking process consist of three main elements

• Driver

  Mobile Application or embedded device connected to the server and updating its location continuously.

• Client

  Mobile Application connected to the server updating its location and listing to nearest drivers locations continuously.

• Server

  Backend Server to Mange Connections between Clients and Drivers.

This project is focusing on the client side, so i am using a server with single end point to mock the tracking web socket.
