Abstract
Object tracking systems play important roles in tracking moving objects and overcoming problems such as safety, security and other location-related applications. Problems arise from the difficulties in creating a well-defined and understandable description of tracking systems. Nowadays, describing such processes results in fragmental representation that most of the time leads to difficulties creating documentation. Additionally, once learned by assigned personnel, repeated tasks result in them continuing on autopilot in a way that often degrades their effectiveness. This paper proposes the modeling of tracking systems in terms of a new diagrammatic methodology to produce engineering-like schemata. The resultant diagrams can be used in documentation, explanation, communication, education and control.

Summary
Transportation is a crucial element in modern society. Transportation, here, refers to the physical movement of things. GPS technology is still relatively new, which raises many issues for potential users It was originally designed for military application, and it combines satellite navigation systems that broadcast location information (e.g., latitude and longitude, speed, heading and altitude) across the Earth [2]. A typical system includes a mechanized device and software at an operational base to locate and monitor the position, timing and mobility of a vehicle. It utilizes a GPS receiver along with a Global System for Mobile Communications (GSM) modem to monitor the vehicle status in terms of time and position. The aim of this paper is to utilize a new diagrammatic language in producing a conceptual (non-technical) model of vehicle-tracking systems
