Hi Frnds, my work is an attempt to design a tracking unit, which uses the global
positioning system to determine the precise location of an object, person or any
other asset to which it is attached. Using GSM modem, this information can be
transmitted to remote user. This system contains single-board embedded system
that is equipped with GPS and GSM modems along with Micro Controller that is
installed in the vehicle. During object motion, its location can be reported by
SMS message. The use of GSM and GPS technologies allows the system to track
object and provides the most up-to-date information about on-going trips by the
owner. The current system will be able to provide monitoring process from
anywhere. The purpose of this system is to design and integrate another new
system which has GPS- GSM features in it to provide the following facilities:
a) Location information
b) Real time tracking vehicle using SMS
c) Communication is instantaneous and therefore we can receive running
report quickly. It is completely integrated so that, once it is implemented in
all vehicles, it is easy to track vehicles any time.
People, who have met with an accident and become
unconscious, may not be in a position to inform ambulance or police or any relative.
This system will automatically detect the accident and inform it to ambulance
service and police service in the form of an SMS (current location) using
GPS-GSM.
If a vehicle is missing, we cannot trace that vehicle.
But with the help of this system, we can trace the vehicle and can Spot the
missing vehicle which helps in reporting (current location as a SMS) it back to
user using GPS-GSM.
