Abstract
The need for vehicle tracking system in real time is growth continues due to increase the cases of theft. This type of system in real time needs to transmit large data with huge number of HTTP request to the server to keep tracking and monitoring in real time, thus causes spend extremely high cost every month for transportation the information on tracking vehicles to server therefor the needs for reducing the number of transportation and data size that transmits in each HTTP request to save expenses. This paper designed and implement an integrated vehicle tracking system in real time to track vehicle anywhere and anytime. This system is divided into two parts: vehicle tracking part and monitoring part. Tracking part is represented by installation the electronic devices in the vehicle using modern Global Positioning System (GPS), microcontroller Arduino UNO R3 and SIM800L GSM/GPRS modem. GPS is determined location of the vehicle via received coordinates from satellites such as latitude and latitude with accuracy ranging approximately 2.5 meters; the coordinates faked to add a type of protection to information on vehicles without effecting on characterizing real time tracking before sending it via a General Packet Radio service (GPRS). The monitoring part is in the cloud and will receive the coordinates and displays it on a map in a web page. The main contribution of this system is it reduced data size that sent from in-vehicle device via selected only necessary data for tracking vehicle from NEMA sentences of GPS and reduced number of HTTP request that sent to remote server via constrain the transmission of information with the movement of vehicles, since when vehicle moved the coordinates each 10s and did not send anything when the vehicle stopped thus will reduce the cost of expenses every month. This system can be utilized to track and monitoring the vehicles of large universities, companies, organization and also can be used in army vehicles and police vehicles.
 
 
Highlights
In some vehicle emergency cases like theft, accident, stealing, and breakdown, an immediate response is needed, and the first action needed is to find the vehicle [1], [2], [3]
The main contribution of this paper is reduceing the number of HTTP request sent from Arduino and reduces the size of the information that General Packet Radio Service (GPRS) module sent to the remote server
The first one is the component that attached to the vehicle that consists of arduino uno, NEO 6M Global position system (GPS) Module and GPRS SIM800L Module which will send the coordinate and information to the second part which is the remote server
Summary
In some vehicle emergency cases like theft, accident, stealing, and breakdown, an immediate response is needed, and the first action needed is to find the vehicle [1] , [2], [3]. On the other side of such systems, there should be an admin who can check the driver’s geographic location in real-time by displaying the coordinates on a map using a computer or mobile device or any other device as long as it has an internet connection to keep monitoring the vehicle [1], [14]. The server that receives the data sent from the vehicle can be a normal server with only one administrator that monitoring the map or could be in the cloud which means that can share the information in attached database with other admins or users, the cloud provides the maps anywhere and anytime with large storage [15]. This work has added more protection for the information about vehicle by using faked data, and equipped the system with an auto- connecter circuit to ensure that the GPS is working all the time even after someone cut the main.
