ABSTRACT

Embedded & GSM Based Vehicle Tracking System

GPS and GSM based vehicle tracking System implements the emerging
applications of the GSM technology. Using GSM networks, online vehicle
tracking system has been proposed that will act as an embedded system which
can monitor and control vehicle locally using built-in input and output
peripherals.
emotely the system allows the user to effectively monitor and control the
vehicle via the mobile phone set as well as on web through GPS service from
GSM network service provider. !t will achieve by sending commands in the
form of SMS messages and receiving the alert SMS from vehicle and receiving
"sending data over GPS as well.
#he main concept behind the pro$ect is to detecting current location of vehicle
using latitude and longitude received from GPS and send it to remote location
on web server or te%ting on pre configured mobile number through GSM using
GPS service or SMS service. eceiving command data from remote server on
GPS or receiving the sent SMS command and processing it further as re&uired
to perform desire action. #he type of the operation to be performed depends on
the nature of the command sent. #he principle in which the pro$ect is based is
fairly simple. 'irst, the sent SMS is stored and polled from the receiver mobile
station and then the re&uired control signal is generated and sent to the
intermediate hardware that we have designed according to the command
received in form of the sent message.
(e have selected a particular GSM modem for our pro$ect. #he messages are
sent from the GSM Modem that contains commands in written form which are
then processed accordingly to perform the re&uired task. ) microcontroller
based system has been proposed for our pro$ect. #here are several terminologies
that are used e%tensively throughout this pro$ect report.
GSM *Global System for Mobile +ommunications,- !t is a cellular
communication standard. SMS *Short Message Service,- !t is a service available
on most digital mobile phones that permit the sending of short messages *also
known as te%t messaging service,.GPS *General packet radio service, is use to
send data to remote server.GPS *Global Positioning System, will gives correct
latitude and longitude for current location which it receives from satellites.
