Vehicle Tracking System

Abstract

The safety of private and public vehicles is a major concern nowadays, thousands of the theft and accident cases occurs every year. There is a dire need of a system which could abate these issues. The vehicle tracking provides is a solution to that all because it provides us the location information of our car in instant time. The Vehicle tracking System provides a lot of other facilities like, jamming the engine in case of theft; it also could have the functionality of informing the authorities in case of accident and have record of the location visited. There are a lot of VTS’s (Vehicle Tracking System) available in the market, but they have problems with reliability, accuracy and are off course not considered as economical solutions. We here proposed and economical and reliable design of VTS (Vehicle Tracking System). The proposed system navigates vehicles in real time with the collaboration of GPS and GSM technologies for navigation and Communication respectively. The system has two major blocks, “Vehicle Module” and “Base Station”. The Vehicle module has a GPS mounted on the moving vehicle to identify its current position, and to be transferred by GSM as an SMS to a Base station in real time. Server at the Base station receives the information dispatched from vehicles under observation and forms the database. At the server side, we have a software utility that plots the location of a vehicle on the Google map. Furthermore, it enables us to jam the engine and lock the doors remotely, in case vehicle is being stolen. In a nutshell, this system is regarded as eyes and ears of the vehicles with an assurance of security and safety.
