Vehicle Tracking System

This document describes a vehicle tracking system that uses GPS and GSM technologies. The system allows a vehicle's location to be determined via GPS satellites and transmitted as an SMS message to the owner on their mobile phone upon request. It can also be linked to a car alarm to alert the owner by phone in the event of theft. The tracking system consists of a GPS receiver, microcontroller, and GSM modem to process location data from the GPS and send it via the cellular network to the owner's phone. The low-cost solution is useful for monitoring vehicles, adolescents drivers, and locating stolen cars.

GPS and GSM based Vehicle Tracking System

This Project presents an automotive localization system using GPS and GSM-SMS services. The system permits localization of the automobile and transmitting the position to the owner on his mobile phone as a short message (SMS) at his request. The system can be interconnected with the car alarm system and alert the owner on his mobile phone. This tracking system is composed of a GPS receiver, Microcontroller and a GSM Modem. GPS Receiver gets the location information from satellites in the form of latitude and longitude. The Microcontroller processes this information and this processed information is sent to the user/owner using GSM modem. The presented application is a low cost solution for automobile position and status, very useful in case of car theft situations, for monitoring adolescent drivers by their parents as well as in car tracking system applications. The proposed solution can be used in other types of application, where the information needed is requested rarely and at irregular period of time (when requested).

This project provides exposure to the fallowing technologies: 1. GSM modem. 2. GPS receiver. 3. Interfacing GSM modem and microcontroller. 4. LCD display. 5. programming for microcontroller. 6. Design of PCB. 7. Hardware/Firmware design and development. Features: 1. Remote communication using GSM modem. 2. Sends location in the form of latitude and longitude. 3. Reliable for remote tracking
