I've had good success using PostGIS for data storage in
implementing tracking systems. While you'll need to create your own
code for updating the positions in the database, mapserver can read
points from PostGIS and can render the points into a map image for
use with the OpenLayers client.<br>
<br><span>
There are other solutions too, like OpenGTS

<div>Hi all.<br>
Strictly Speaking, i have a project that i should display some
moving objects on a map via browser.<br>
Generally, i don't know how to start? i mean how should i save
these time-based objects in DB and how to retrieve and display
them via Mapserver? where should i use client side scripting
like OpneLayers?<br>
Any help woudbe greatly appreciated.<br>
<br>
Thanks in advance<br>
