Abstract
Smartphones have become an essential rather than an optional gadget. With Smartphones, we carry with us a hand held computer
with details about our social life, family members, transaction details and much more. Smartphones serve as a communication tool
used to send messages, place and receive calls, surf the internet and play wide range of games. In this paper, we present an
application that helps us to track and pin-point the current location of thousands of users by their names and photos and can track
the location for a specified period of time. This system is designed by merging the concept of Google Map SDK that provides
various network providers: GPS and Location Network Provider. The framework makes it possible to track the location for a
specified period of time.
Keywords- GPS, Android, Android Studio, Map SDK, Firebase Database, Real time Database

I. INTRODUCTION
A Smartphone can perform wide scope of capacities as it has a Working framework equipped for executing different applications.
These days, everybody conveys a Smartphone which is fit for performing the vast majority of the capacities that an incredible PC
can perform. Smartphones fill in as a specialized device used to send messages, play wide scope of recreations, surf the web or
more all make and get calls. The system is designed by merging the concept of the Google Map SDK that provides various network
Providers: GPS and Location Network Provider. We will run the service in background to get the location after every 15min and
show it in the map. This is a vital part of the project that we can track multiple users providing an easy and relevant UI. The need
for this project is to track the location of the surveyors, so as to know about the progress of the assigned work and track their
location with respect to the given work. Surveyors are supposed to login in this application to start their tracking and the admin
can locate their location after their sign in.
The following of Smartphones depends on GPS satellite following framework which has been utilized via vehicles and
street transport industry for a long time, for the most part in western nations. GSM telephone following is probably going to
demonstrate the range in which the telephone is found however not the precise spot and even exactness relies upon different
variables like system inclusion of a Cell phone, scene territory and climate state of the area where Cell phone is utilized.

II. LITERATURE REVIEW

Tracking has been a functioning exploration point for a considerable length of time and survey of all the following strategies is
incomprehensible. So a few papers identified with the proposed framework are referenced as beneath:
Jialue Fan and Xiaohui Shen [1] proposed a brought together technique for single item following where target
classification is effectively perceived. Abnormal state disconnected model is joined with low dimension online model to
accomplish better following execution. The proposed technique beats in many testing following situations where see changes
radically or for scale change or for foundation variance and morphable articles. Restrictions of proposed technique are the
equivocalness of following issue increments as the quantity of item arranged expands, the wrong acknowledgment result most
likely prompts mistake proliferation, the present structure may not be fitting for some following dataset because of information
type irregularity.
Karan Gupta and Anjali Kulkarni [2] exhibited a vigorous and productive robotized single article following framework.
The framework has been executed utilizing a calculation dependent on edge differencing and dynamic format coordinating. The
calculation has tentatively been appeared to be very precise and viable in distinguishing a solitary moving item even under terrible
lighting conditions or impediments. The framework has been robotized utilizing a skillet tilt setup which is synchronized with the
calculation. Such a robotized object following framework can be utilized in applications where exact following is required however
great lighting conditions can't be given. The framework is material to zones like observation and video conferencing.
Alper Yilmaz and Omar Javed [3] displayed Item Following as an Overview. This article shows a broad overview of item
following strategies and furthermore gives a concise survey of related themes. They partition the following strategies into three
classifications dependent on the utilization of article portrayals by techniques building up point correspondence, techniques
actualizing crude geometric models, and strategies utilizing shape advancement. Every one of these classes require object location
eventually. A point by point synopsis of article trackers, including talk on the item portrayals, models relating movement, and the

plans assessing parameter utilized by the following calculations is given. They referenced the utilization of setting, level of
appropriateness, criteria for assessment, and examinations subjective factor.
Ismail Haritaoglu and David Harwood [4] proposed ongoing visual observation framework executed in open air condition
for identifying and following individuals and checking their exercises. It works on single dim scale video symbolism or on video
symbolism from an infrared camera. This framework utilizes shading signs. Rather utilizes a mix of shape investigation and
following to find individuals and their parts (head, hands, feet, and middle) and to make models of individuals' appearance with
the goal that they can be followed through communications, for example, impediments. This framework is able to do all the while
following numerous individuals even with impediment. It keeps running at 25 Hz for 320x240 goals pictures on a double Pentium
PC.
G. Mallikarjuna Rao and Dr. Ch. Satyanarayana [5] managed the following of single article in a grouping of edges either
from a live camera or from recordings spared beforehand. A moving article is identified in each edge with high exactness and
effectiveness utilizing Middle guess procedure. Further Kalman channel estimation is utilized for following the identified article
alongside a progressively precise Layout Coordinating calculation. For this layouts are produced powerfully which ensures any
adjustment in article present which does not be prevented from following method. Passage and exit of the item are dealt with
effectively.

III. IMPLEMENTATION AND WORKING

Android is a versatile working framework created by Google. It depends on an adjusted rendition of the Linux bit and other open
source programming, and is planned principally for touchscreen cell phones, for example, cell phones and tablets.
The Android Application includes different highlights that makes following simple and appealing. It's a simple methodology of
following a huge number of clients.
There are diverse Sign Up choices present in application either as a Surveyor or an Administrator.
The initial one is for the Administrator. Administrator can just track every one of the surveyors enrolled as client type
"surveyor".
Well and alluring (UI) is accommodated the Administrator to follow the area of its surveyors utilizing Recycler View as
Direct design. Every surveyor is spoken to in a rundown see with its name and photograph transferred by him. The administrator
can tap on every surveyor from Rundown see and can follow the area of every one of them from most recent 5 days giving the
particular dates.
The second part is a surveyor part which likewise has an alluring Enlistment and Login pages, every surveyor can
empower or debilitate his area following .Every Surveyor will transfer his/her photographs in our application which will be
utilized by the administrator while following.
The surveyor will be followed for the constrained timeframe yet at the same time if on the off chance that surveyor need
to cripple his area following he/she can logout from the application. The surveyor can likewise check his area on the guide gave
in the application.

IV. CONCLUSION
We are living in a world where Smartphones are carried by almost everyone and in coming years smartphones are going to
outnumber the world’s total population Initially the aim of this project was to implement advanced location tracking system, obtain
the live location and then track the live location for a specified time. The application is designed to manage thousands of users.
The admin can click on each surveyor from the list view and can track their location of each. Due to this project, the admin can
track the location of their surveyors.

V. FUTURE WORK
In this project we are tracking the current location of the surveyor on daily basis and we are not storing the previos records. In
future, based on project requirements we can add new features like obtaining the previous location history of the surveyors for
number of days as per the requirements.
We can add other features like tracking the basic properties of the users for example: the daily working hours of users
(surveyors), their attendance.
