GPS & GSM BASED VEHICLE TRACKING SYSTEM
Abstract
Global Positioning Satellites (GPS) enable the tracking of all kinds of mobile assets accurately and provide their real time positions to the owners on a 24 by 7 basis over the GPRS/GSM link. While the GPS provides the latitude/longitude information of the mobile asset a given time, this information can be transmitted to any place using the GPRS radio link. In fact, the asset can even have enough intelligence built into it to initiate calls using the GSM phone links. The technology and the cost of implementing this technology has come down drastically over the last few years making them very affordable to the general public.
This GPS/GSM/GPRS tracking technology can be used in the following areas, just to name a few:
• Vehicle tracking to accomplish
o Monitoring of speed and location of the mobile asset
o Monitoring of various compliances related to safety, driver behavior, etc.
o Emergency Services: crash reporting, engine stall, etc
o Fleet management;
Driving pattern, behavior and understanding
• High Value Asset tracking:
o High Value asset/consignment tracking
o This could be International Bulk containers, High Value Containers (airlines, etc), and several other such assets.
This approach paper is limited to Vehicle tracking only while the same technology could be used with some modifications in GUI/Software for various other applications as indicated above.
