openalpr-gpsupdate

This Python daemon pulls GPS coordinates from a USB or serial GPS device and POSTs it to the OpenALPR agent. Using this will allow you to automatically update the GPS coordinates of a moving OpenALPR agent system running on Linux.

Install Notes

sudo apt-get update
sudo dpkg -i openalpr-gpsupdate_1.0.1-20191117104820.deb
sudo apt-get install -f -y

After installing the software, configure OpenALPR daemon as follows.

Add the following to /etc/openalpr/alprd.conf

web_server_enabled = 1
gps_use_webservice = 1

Restart OpenALPR services

sudo service openalpr-link restart

The TTYUSB device can be set in /etc/init.d/openalpr-gpsupdate

UDP Alternative

Some modems can be configured to push UDP GPS locations to an endpoint. In this configuration, use the openalprgpsudp.py code. This will receive a UDP payload containing GPS data, parse it, and POST to OpenALPR
