 Abstruct
 An efficient vehicle tracking system is designed and implemented for tracking the movement
of any equipped vehicle from any location at any time.

 The proposed system made good use of popular technology that combines a smartphone
with an Arduino UNO.

 The designed in vehicle device works using Global Positioning System (GPS) and Global
System for Mobile Communication (GSM) technology that is one of the most common ways
for vehicle tracking.

 The vehicle tracking system uses the GPS module to get geographic
coordinates at regular time interval. The GSM module is used to transmit and
update the vehicle location to a database.

 Arduino UNO gets the coordinates from GPS modem and then it sends this information to
user in text SMS. GSM modem is used to send this information via SMS sent to the owner of
the vehicle.

 Thus, user able to continuously monitor a moving vehicle on demand using smartphone and
determine the estimated distance and time for the vehicle to arrive at a given destination
 LITERATURE REVIEW
• GLOBAL POSITIONING SYSTEMS (GPS) were designed by the United States
Government and military, which the design was intended to be used as
surveillance. The GPS was invented as a collaborative effort by the United
States‟ Department of Defense and Dr. Ivan Getting as a means to create a
satellite course-plotting system, primarily used for navigation purposes
[2]. At that time, the GPS project cost approximately $12 billion for the
design and launch of 18 satellites, six in each of the orbital planes spaced
120 degrees apart, and their ground stations. GPS uses these satellites as
reference points to determine and give the accurate geographical
positions on map. The idea for a global positioning system was initially
planned to be used by military and intelligence organizational during the
Cold War, with the introduction of the project stemming from the Soviet-
launched spacecraft Sputnik. Since its introduction in the 1960s, GPS has
developed into a larger and more advanced satellite network constellation
that orbits Earth at fixed points in space to send signals to anyone with a
GPS receiver. The signals carry a time code and geographic data point that
enables us to display a device‟s exact position anywhere on the planet
• The applications in today‟s GPS units make it possible
to take full control of any company. It is clear that the
tracking devices offer many benefits to companies,
since we can build automated expense reports
anytime. GPS units do more than just allow companies
to create reports. These devices also help to put an end
to thieves. According to recent reports, crime is at a
high, which means that car theft is increasing. If we
have the right GPS unit, we can put an end to car thefts
because we can lock and unlock our car anytime we
want to. GPS is small tracking device that is installed in
a car and it will supply feedback data from tracking
software that loads from a satellite.
 COMPONENTS

• Arduino Uno
• SIM 800L Module and GSM Antenna
• GPS module GSM Antenna
BLOCK DIAGRAM
ARDUINO UNO
 The ARDUINO UNO is a microcontroller board based on the ATmega328. The
ATmega328 has 32 KB .
 It also has 2 KB of SRAM and 1 KB of EEPROM (which can be read and written
with the EEPROM library).
 It has 20 digital input/output pins (of which 6 can be used as PWM outputs and
6 can be used as analog inputs), a USB connection, a power jack, an in-circuit
system programming (ICSP) header, and a reset button. It is simply connected
to a computer with a USB cable.
The Clock speed of the Arduino is 16 MHz so it can perform a particular task faster
than the other processor or controller.
 GPS MODULE

A. A GPS navigation device, GPS receiver, or simply GPS is a device that is capable of
receiving information from GPS satellites and then to calculate the device's
geographical position.
B. . A GPS device can retrieve from the GPS system location and time information in
all weather conditions, anywhere on or near the Earth.
GSM MODULE
 GSM module or a GPRS module is a chip or circuit
that will be used to establish communication between
a mobile device or a computing machine and a
GSM or GPRS system. The modem (modulator-
demodulator) is a critical part here.
 These modules consist of a GSM module or GPRS
modem powered by a power supply circuit and
communication interfaces (like RS-232, USB 2.0, and
others) for computer.
 A GSM modem can be a dedicated modem device
with a serial, USB or bluetooth connection, or it can be
a mobile phone that provides GSM modem
capabilities.
 WORKING
 The current design is an embedded application. It is continuously monitor a moving
vehicle and report the status of vehicle on demand. For doing an Arduino is
interfaced serially to a GSM modem and GPS receiver.
 A GSM modem is used to send latitude and longitude of the vehicle from a
remote place. The GPS modem gives the data i.e., the latitude
and longitude indicating the position of the vehicle.
 The same data is sent to the mobile at the other end from the place of the
vehicle’s position is demanded. An EEPROM is used to store
the data received by GPS receiver. That is used for detecting
coordinates of the vehicle, GSM module is used for sending
the coordinates to user by SMS.
 RESULT
 Tracking system is nowadays the most important system for the person, they want their car security in
efficient hands this is the main reason.
 So the vehicle tracking system are getting popular day by day not only in metropolitan areas but also
in small cities.
 This system is completely integrated and it becomes possible to the user to track their car very easily
at any time and from anywhere.
 The user is able to access the position of their vehicle at any instant of time. This system is reliable
and very secure.
 upgrading this setup is very easy which makes it open to future requirements without the need of
rebuilding everything from scratch, which also makes it more efficient.
 GSM module can support 2G, 3G and 4G but only 2G can be supported in this country. Because each
country used different frequencies bands for GSM sim 800A.
 FUTURE WORKS
 For future works ,design of vehicle tracking system can be
understan on multilayer pcb to reduce wire complexities.
 We can implement a system using combination of constant
acceleration and constant jerk model to get the advantages of both
.
 reliability can be improved and other additional features can be
implemented with the tracking and mnitoring module.
 we can also enhance this system by implementing carbon
monoxide sendor to control teh pollution cause by the vehicle .
 for better safety we can implement an alcohol sensor with the
tracker system for detection of alcohol ...
