Anti-theft vehicle tracking and regaining system with automatic police notifying using Haversine formula

Abstract

In this paper a vehicle tracking system is proposed which track the vehicle and offers to incarcerate the vehicle in a minimum period of time when it is lost. Vehicle tracking and locking system has a Global Positioning System (GPS) and a Global System for Mobile Communications (GSM). Owner can send an edict anytime to the device which is in the vehicle. The device is password protected. Owner's message must be incorporated with the password to unlock the device. When the device is unlocked, then it will give the co-ordinate of the vehicle through the message. If the car is filched, owner can command the device to lock the door of the vehicle and proposed system will automatically apprise nearest police station about stealing event. Haversine formula is used to find out the nearest police station from GPS data and back end database. Then the nearest police station may commence necessary actions to recover the vehicle. The whole system is powered by a rechargeable battery and adapter. This paper elucidates the anticipated result and gives some gist about future implementation.
