Abstract
Now a days, Vehicle tracking system plays a major role in our daily life. As the technology grows, vehicle thefts are increasing enormously. This paper proposes to design an embedded system which is used to track and position any vehicle by using Global Positioning System (GPS) and Global system for mobile communication (GSM). This helps in monitoring and reporting the status of the moving Vehicle on demand continuously. So, ATMEGA328 microcontroller is serially interfaced to a GSM Modem and GPS Receiver through serial communication protocol RS 232. In this, driver circuit is used to covert TTL voltages into RS 232 voltage levels. Identifying the position of the remote vehicle is done by GPS modem continuously. The current location details like vehicle longitudes and latitudes of the remote vehicle is sent through GSM modem. The output is acquired from GPS modem and displayed on the LCD display. The same data is transmitted to the mobile at the other end from where the position of the vehicle is demanded. Based on the request placed by the user, the position of the vehicle is automatically sent to the corresponding mobile number. So, this project has been implemented to identify lost vehicle, know the status of moving vehicle from remote location and send the information to the user's mobile number.
Highlights
Navigation of vehicles is one of the important applications in the field of navigation which is primarily used by drivers
The navigation message was broadcasted through Global Positioning System (GPS) and a message was sent through Global system for mobile communication (GSM) communication[1]
The module is simulated under various conditions and sent the SMS to the contact number through GSM protocol
Summary
Navigation of vehicles is one of the important applications in the field of navigation which is primarily used by drivers. The digital maps given to the driver play an important role in this field. When larger objects or vehicles were spread out on the roads, the owners often found it difficult to track and be aware of what was happening with their vehicle. Vehicle tracking system gives the information regarding location of the vehicle, distance travelled at a specific time. E.D Kalpan et al has discussed about GPS based tracking system for public transport system such as buses, taxis etc. On-board module consists of GSM modem and ARM processor. The navigation message was broadcasted through GPS and a message was sent through GSM communication[1]
