Real time GPS/GSM based vehicle monitoring system

Abstract

This report presents a method for real time GPS/GSM based vehicle monitoring system. The project is implemented to locate a vehicle under real time scenario. The project is implemented by using distinct methodologies like GPS and other ground based navigational systems. Using Trilateration or Triangulation methods the monitoring system enabled to determine easy and accurate exact location of the vehicle. Automobile information like exact details of location, speed, Driver’s image, Crew members etc. can be viewed on android based application. This project is very important hardware kit for monitoring each vehicle at specified time interval or period. Our vehicle monitoring system is consisting mainly three parts which includes vehicle unit (Hardware part), database/Server and software android application. In true sense our project is an integrated part of vehicle security protection approach called “layered approach”. This layered approach recommends four different layers of security depending upon the risk involved to some specific vehicle during move. Vehicle Monitoring system is one of such layers. Thus, real time vehicle monitoring system is important and essential part for any vehicle against theft or misuse.
