Technical Details

This solution typically involves the following components:

Hardware Components:

• Single Board Computer (SBC): Raspberry Pi 3/4 or similar, running Windows IoT Core.
• GPS Module: For accurate location data.
• Accelerometer/Gyroscope: For motion and orientation sensing.
• Cellular or Wi-Fi Module: For network connectivity.
• Power Management: Battery pack with charging capabilities.

Software Stack:

• Operating System: Windows IoT Core.
• Development Language: C#, C++.
• Frameworks: .NET Core, UWP (Universal Windows Platform).
• Cloud Services: Azure IoT Hub, Azure Maps, Azure Cosmos DB.

Example Code Snippet (C# for Azure IoT Hub):

using Microsoft.Azure.Devices.Client;
using Newtonsoft.Json;
using System;
using System.Text;
using System.Threading.Tasks;

public class AssetTrackerDevice
{
    private DeviceClient deviceClient;
    private readonly string iotHubDeviceConnectionString = "YOUR_DEVICE_CONNECTION_STRING"; // Replace with actual connection string

    public AssetTrackerDevice()
    {
        deviceClient = DeviceClient.CreateFromConnectionString(iotHubDeviceConnectionString, TransportType.Mqtt);
    }

    public async Task SendAssetDataAsync(double latitude, double longitude, bool isMoving)
    {
        var telemetryData = new
        {
            messageId = Guid.NewGuid().ToString(),
            deviceId = "assetTracker001", // Replace with actual device ID
            latitude = latitude,
            longitude = longitude,
            isMoving = isMoving,
            timestamp = DateTime.UtcNow
        };

        var messageString = JsonConvert.SerializeObject(telemetryData);
        var message = new Message(Encoding.UTF8.GetBytes(messageString));

        await deviceClient.SendEventAsync(message);
        Console.WriteLine($"Sent message: {messageString}");
    }
