Abstract
In one embodiment, a method includes receiving, by a tracking system server, a data stream comprising events related to a set of devices. The set of devices include tracking devices and mobile devices. Each event contains a location update respectively associated with a tracking device of the set or a mobile device of the set. The method includes programmatically separating, by the tracking system server, the events from the data stream. The method includes batching, for processing by the tracking system server, the separated events into one or more batches. The method includes processing, by the tracking system server, a specific batch of events, of the one or more batches of events, that involves a specific tracking device to estimate a location of the specific tracking device using a location determination algorithm.
