LoRa IoT Asset Tracking System (LoRaTrackers)

Abstract

This project has been designed for the purpose of tracking an asset with the help of a recently introduced technology named LoRa (Long Range Radio). The goal of the project is to track the vehicle/asset and identify its positioning (coordinates). At the end, the data collected will be sent to the Gateway and displayed at the User End. For the achievement of the objective, the model has been designed as so: The First LoRa Sensor Node, acting as the transmitter, will be attached to the Asset which will constitute a LoRa Transceiver Module and GPS Module to send positioning of the vehicle to the second LoRa Node. The Second LoRa Sensor Node, acting as the receiver, will be with the users or could act as a relay between Gateway and Transmitter. It consists of a LoRa Transceiver and OLED Display. The Third Part is the Gateway which is the modified version of the Receiver. It will send the Received Data to Receiver to your mobile phone/laptop. The User end application for displaying the data will be constructed of Firebase. The project has been extended to the point where two LoRa Transmitter nodes on different vehicles are used, such that their coordinates will be sent to the Gateway side-by-side.
