GPS Vehicle Tracking

Technology

WHAT IS GPS ?

Global Positioning System (GPS) , worldwide

satellite-based, radio navigation system .

Developed by the U.S. Department of Defense for

the military .
They will give you the exact position of your

vehicles, no matter where they are, what time it is, or

what the weather is like.

WHAT IS GPS ?

The satellites transmit signals that can be detected by

GPS receivers located in your vehicles and used to

determine their location with great accuracy.

A total of 24 satellites orbit the Earth, monitored

continuously by earth stations.

HOW DOES GPS WORK?

Each GPS satellite transmits radio signals that

enable the GPS receivers to calculate where its (or

your vehicles) location on the Earth

Then convert the calculations into geodetic

latitude, longitude and velocity.

A receiver needs signals from at least three GPS

satellites to pinpoint your vehicles position.

HOW DOES GPS WORK?

GPS Receivers commonly used in most Vehicle

tracking systems can only receive data from GPS Satellites.

They cannot communicate back with GPS or any other
satellite.

A system based on GPS can only calculate its

location but cannot send it to central control room.

In order to do this they normally use GSM-GPRS

Cellular networks connectivity using additional GSM

modem/module.

WHAT IS GSM ?

GSM, Global system of Mobile.

Mobile communication system provided by

Cellular service providers or GSM Operators
in most countries internationally.

It is used for in most mobile handsets used by us.

GSM Mobile communication system can be intelligently used

by electronic devices which can collect some data and send it to the
central place using SMS or GSM data call

WHAT IS GSM ?

GSM is required in Vehicle tracking systems because

GPS system can normally only receive location information

from satellites but cannot communicate back with them.
Hence we need some other communication system like
GSM to send this location information to central control

room.

Other technologies can also be used but they are more costly.

What is GPRS?
General Packet Radio Service, is new communication services
introduced by GSM operators. These services are part of same
GSM network. These services allow secure and confirmed transfer of
content like digital photos or other data to other GPRS capable system.
example of services based on GPRS is MMS (Multimedia Messaging
Service)
GPRS is required in case we want to take snaps and transfer them to
the central control room. They are not required for GPS tracking etc.

GPRS does not involve additional hardware but we need to use more
advanced GSM modules which support GPRS.
GPRS services are not provided by all GSM operators.

What is GIS ?
Geographical Information System, GIS is a software which consist of
specially developed comprehensive and detailed maps of the city with
longitude and latitude information of each place, street, junctions and
address.
These maps are useful to locate the address of a vehicle fitted with GPS
system.
GPS-GSM system only provide the longitude and latitude of the vehicle but
GIS software if properly developed can provide details of exact or nearby
address where the vehicle is.

FM 2100
GPS/GSM Terminal
Vehicle Tracking/Security
Parameterized operation (Acquire & Send)
ALARM Buttons (2 Buttons)
Online Tracking
Geo Fence
Motion Sensor
FM2100 is light terminal with GPS and GSM connectivity. Which is able to get device
coordinates and other data and transfer them via GSM network. this device is perfectly
suitable for application where location acquirement of remote objects is needed. So you
can track your remote objects(Truck, Cars, Ships etc) quickly and easy
FM2100 can perform tasks on remote objects, such as monitoring engines status,
controlling truck door etc,
In case of loosing connection FM2100 can store up to 10000 records, and once the
connection is established the device will send stored dada via GPRS. So you wont lose
your data.
