DEVELOPMENT OF AN EMBEDDED SYSTEM FOR VEHICLE TRACKING USING GPS & GSM

AIM:
The main aim of this project is to design a vehicle tracking system which will identify the theft and controls the movement of the vehicle.

PURPOSE:
The purpose of this project is to track the vehicle continuously and sends this information to the owner of the vehicle including the area where the vehicle is present.

DESCRIPTION:
Generally if we lost a vehicle we dont know who has taken away the vehicle and where it is? At that time, we will go to police station and register a complaint. Then they will take action and starts investigation. It is totally a risky and time consuming process and there is no guarantee of finding the vehicle. To overcome this problem and providing additional security, we have to implement a small technique using GSM and GPS technologies. The process of working of this project is explained as follows, this total equipment of this project placed in a vehicle. The authorized person details with mobile number and some predefined parameters are stored in the Microcontroller. Whenever we find that our vehicle is missing then simply send a SMS or a Missed-Call to GSM Modem from the authorized mobile after registering with the GSM modem. Then we can send a SMS to the modem to block the vehicle such that the vehicle will not move forward anymore. Then the Microcontroller gets the location of vehicle found by the GPS modem and sends the message to the same mobile using GSM modem. The message includes the location at which the vehicle is present at that particular instant of time.

TECHNOLOGY:
GPS (Global Positioning System) technology is used to find the location of any object or vehicle to monitor a child continuously using satellite signals. Three satellite signals are necessary to locate the receiver in 3D space and fourth satellite is used for time accuracy.GPS will give the information of parameters like longitude, latitude and attitude. With the help of these parameters one can easily locate the position of any object. In this GPS technology, the communication takes place between GPS transceiver and GPS satellite. GSM (Global System for Mobile communications) is the technology that underpins most of the world's mobile phone networks. The GSM platform is a hugely successful wireless technology and an unprecedented story of global achievement and cooperation. GSM has become the world's fastest growing communications technology of all time and the leading global mobile standard, spanning 218 countries. GSM is an open, digital cellular technology used for transmitting mobile voice and data services. GSM operates in the 900MHz and 1.8GHz bands

GSM supports data transfer speeds of up to 9.6 kbps, allowing the transmission of basic data services such as SMS.
