# Context Mapping and Driver Behavior tutorial, Part 1: Sending car probe data and issuing analysis requests

The first part of this tutorial describes how you can set up your Bluemix environment to use the following services for simulating and analyzing driver behavior.

- **Watson IoT Platform** uses the MQTT protocol to retrieve car probe data from a simulated car, and then passes that data to the **Node-RED** service. Car probe data is a sequence of car probes that are ordered by timestamp. A single car probe consists of the heading, latitude, longitude, speed, and timestamp retrieved from the car for each journey that is recorded.
- **Node-RED Starter** creates work flows between components of the sample application. The **Node-RED** visual tool helps you to easily understand the work flows.
- **Watson IoT Driver Behavior** gives you an insight into the behavior of a driver during the simulated journey from the associated car probe data.
The **Driver Behavior** APIs let you use both the context data and the car probe data to analyze the journey and to identify the driving behaviors, such as:
 * Speeding
 * Frequent acceleration and braking
 * Harsh acceleration and braking
 * Sharp turns
- **Watson IoT Context Mapping** provides a service API from which you can extract further information from the car probe data, such as:
 * The exact location of the car on a mapped road, because the location data from the car is not accurate
 * The road ID, which is called `link_id` in APIs, of the road that the car traveled

## Overview
In part 1 of this tutorial, you will learn the following:

1. How to set up **Driver Behavior** and **Context Mapping**.
2. The types of car data that is needed to analyze the behavior of a driver.
3. How to send the car probe data to the  **Context Mapping** and **Driver Behavior** services by using the **Watson IoT Platform** and **Node-RED** services.
4. How to analyze the behavior of a driver.  
**Note:** After you send a job request by using the **Driver Behavior** API, the job ID is generated, which you will need in *part 2 of this tutorial*.

In part 2 of this tutorial, you will learn how to see the results of the analysis on a map user interface by hovering the cursor over points on the map.

For *"Tutorial part 2: Displaying the analysis result on a Java client map UI"*, refer to [this GitHub repository](https://github.com/IBM-Bluemix/map-driver-insights)

### Process
The following steps provide a sequential outline of how your application interacts with the **Driver Behavior** API:

**Note:** Steps 1 - 4 are explained below, and steps 5 - 7 are explained in part 2 of the tutorial.

1. The Java client that simulates a car sends car probe data from to the **Watson IoT Platform** instance.
2. The application receives the car probe data and then adds more data to the car probe data by using the **Context Mapping** API.
     - Gets map matched car probe data by using the `mapMatching` API of **Context Mapping**.
        - [Request] Car probe data
        - [Response] Map matched car probe data
     - Gets road type data by using the `getLinkInformation` API of **Context Mapping**.
        - [Request] Road link ID
        - [Response] Road type
3. The application sends car probe data to the store so that it can then be analyzed by using `sendCarProbe` API of **Driver Behavior**.
   - [Request] Map matched car probe data and Road type
4. The application sends a job request to analyze car probe data by using the `sendJobRequest` API of **Driver Behavior**.
   - [Request] Date from and to
   - [Response] Job ID     
5. The application gets the analyzed trip summary list by using the `getAnalyzedTripSummaryList` API of **Driver Behavior**.
   - [Request] Job ID
   - [Response] List of analyzed trip summary
6.  The application gets the analyzed trip information by using the `getAnalyzedTripInfo` API of **Driver Behavior**.
   - [Request] Trip UUID
   - [Response] Details of the analyzed trip
7. The application displays the analyzed results on a map UI from the Java client.

### Step 7: Setting up the Java client of the Watson IoT Platform

<a name="set_up_iot_platform_java_client"></a>
Complete the following instructions to set up and configure the Java client. Alternatively, you can skip step 7 and [set up and run IoT Platform Java client using Eclipse](#set_up_iot_platform_java_client_without_eclipse) instead.

The Java client that you are about to install, loads sample car probe data from a file named `CarProbeSample.json`, and then sends the data to the **Watson IoT Platform** instance by using the **Watson IoT Platform** Java API `com.ibm.iotf.client.device.DeviceClient`. The file `device.prop` provides the configuration for the **Watson IoT Platform** Java API. The car probe data is received by a **Node-RED** workflow through threshold **Watson IoT Platform** and is processed by the workflow logic.

1. Clone the **car-data-management** project by using git clone, as follows:

```
    git clone https://github.com/IBM-Bluemix/car-data-management
    ```

1. Navigate to the **car-data-management** project.

```
    cd car-data-management
    ```

1. Run the maven build as follows to build the Java client.

```
    mvn clean compile
    ```
The Java Client library for the Watson IoT Platform and all required dependencies are downloaded and the build process starts.

### Step 8: Running the Send Car Probe Data sample
<a name="run_sample_send_car_probe_data"></a>

1. Edit the `config/device.prop` file, and add the `Organization-ID` and `Authentication-Token`, which you recorded in the previous step section.

1. Run the sample by using the following maven command:

```
    mvn test
    ```

3. To see whether the Java client Successfully transmitted the car probe data to **Watson IoT Platform**, check the log file:

```
