Do you mean an Open Schema (database tables, rules etc) for
storing AVL and an Open Protocol for transferring AVL data? Good
idea! In the past I've DIY'ed AVL schemas with generally good
success, but I don't know of any public/open schemas.<br>
<br>
While there are a few protocols out there in FOSS (some even
documented), I don't think there's a clear winner yet. I've been
planning to look at OpenGTS/OpenDMTP. And of course there's the
whole OGC Sensor thing...<br>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span
style="font-size:8.0pt;font-family:"Comic Sans

Location application that is loosely built on OpenSource
Projects. I say loosely because most if not all of the Open
Source components could be swapped out for Commercial
versions if needed. There was a desire early on to
eventually open source parts of the project in some manner.
Currently this open sourced aspect is looking like a
configuration/specification for how data is stored and
transferred between the components, and this is what we
propose to open up to the community. It’s heavily focused
on the geospatial aspects for obvious reasons, but I would
suspect there may be other uses for the configuration
unrelated to tracking of vehicle locations.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
