In this project we are going one step ahead with GPS and going to
track a vehicle using GPS and GSM. This Vehicle Tracking System can
also be used for ACCIDENT DETETCTION ALERT SYSTEM and
many more, by just making few changes in hardware and software.
Tracking of vehicle is a process in which we track the vehicle location
in form of Latitude and Longitude (GPS coordinates). GPS
Coordinates are the value of a location. This system is very efficient
for outdoor application purpose.
This kind of Vehicle Tracking System Project is widely in tracking
Cabs/Taxis, stolen vehicles, school/colleges buses etc.
This system is basically an embedded one. Embedded stands for
hardware controlled by software. Here, the software using an Arduino
control all the hardware components. Arduino plays an important role
in the system.
Currently almost of the public having an own vehicle, theft is
happening on parking and sometimes driving insecurity places. The
safe of vehicles is extremely essential for public vehicles. Vehicle
tracking and locking system installed in the vehicle, to track the place.
The place of the vehicle identified using Global Positioning system
(GPS) and Global system mobile communication (GSM). These
systems constantly watch a moving Vehicle and report the status on
demand. When the theft identified, the responsible person sends SMS
to the microcontroller, then microcontroller issue the control signals to
stop the engine motor. Authorized person needs to send the password
to controller to restart the vehicle and open the door. This is more
secured, reliable and low cost.
