Vehicle Tracking System

Today vehicles are the common mode of

transportation and traveling, and the demand is increasing day by day. This isa project used to identify the exact position of a vehicle. Here we aim toimplement a project to track a vehicle by using the GPS technology irrespectiveof the purpose they are used.

Modules Used:

Software:

JAVA Embedded C compiler MPLAB

Hardware:

Wireless unit GPS module

Micro controlleroperating System

Linux

GPS module

The Global Positioning System (GPS) is the only fully functionalGlobal Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) in the world. The United States'Global Positioning System (GPS), which as of 2007 is the only fully functional,fully available global navigation satellite system. It consists of up to 32 medium

Earth orbit satellites in six different orbital planes, with the exact number ofsatellites varying as older satellites are retired and replaced. Operational since1978 and globally available since 1994, GPS is currently the world's most utilizedsatellite navigation system. Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) is thestandard generic term for satellite navigation systems that provideautonomous Geo-

spatial positioning with global coverage. A GNSS allows small electronic

receivers to determine their location (longitude, latitude, and altitude) to withina few meters using time signals transmitted along a line of sight by radio fromsatellites. Receivers on the ground with a fixed position can also be used tocalculate the precise time as a reference for scientific experiments. The GPSuses a constellation of between 24 and 32 Medium Earth Orbit satellites thattransmit precise microwave signals, that enable GPS receivers to determine their

current location, the time, and their velocity (including direction). GPS wasdeveloped by the United States Department of Defense. Its official name isNAVSTAR-GPS. The location information is available as latitude and longitude.It gives the location data from time to time so that when emergency arises wecan know where exactly it has occurred.

DISCRIPTION

Vehicle section:

In this section the micro controller keeps processing thedata from the GPS. The data processed is stored in the micro controller andtransmitted via wireless unit to the central monitoring unit.

Monitoring Unit:

Here a database is created in which the details of vehicleand the list of locations are being listed. Also, there is a list of nearby policestations and hospitals corresponding to the locations.

If required the message is send to the vehicle which inturn then sends the location. When a message is received from a vehicle, thelocation send by it is analyzed and its corresponding police station and hospitalnumbers are found out. After that messages are being send to the former adlatter with the location.
