RFID GPS Terminal System for Vehicular Communications

The main aim of this project is to Design of A Hybrid RFID/GPS-Based Terminal System in Vehicular
Communications. The purpose of this project is to integrates RFID identifying and GPS tracking was proposed and
implemented, which can enhance automatic management, information security, real-time trace and location, and
anti-theft in digital logistics management. Experimental results show that the vehicle terminal system can identify
quickly mobile supply chain assets, trace and locate mobile equipment in real time, reduce loss and theft and
enhance management control as well

A hybrid RFID/GPS system was explored and tested in, which allowed for the real-time location of human resources
both indoors and outdoors. In an embedded pedestrian navigation system comprising a self-contained sensor, the
GPS and an active RFID tag system was presented, and a method of complementary compensation algorithm for
the GPS/RFID localization was proposed as well. The RFID/GPS-based seamless end-to-end tracking vehicle
terminal system can provide identify, monitor, track, localize and manage key mobile supply chain assets, even
though in the harshest environmental conditions. Moreover, the system can perform real-time stock checks, locate
missing stock soon, position drivers quickly and protect drivers from danger in case of emergency. Experimental
results show that the vehicle terminal device can distinguish correctly RFID tags and receive accurately GPS
information. The RFID tags information and the GPS data can be processed in time. The processing results can be
transmitted to the logistics monitoring center via the GSM mobile networks. The performances indicate that the
system can improve the real-time management of movable supply chains.

GPS Technology
GPS (Global Positioning System) technology is used to find the location of any object or vehicle to monitor a child
continuously using satellite signals. Three satellite signals are necessary to locate the receiver in 3D space and
fourth satellite is used for time accuracy.GPS will give the information of parameters like longitude, latitude and
attitude. With the help of these parameters one can easily locate the position of any object. In this GPS technology,
the communication takes place between GPS transceiver and GPS satellite.

GSM Technology
GSM (Global System for Mobile communications) is the technology that underpins most of the worlds mobile phone
networks. The GSM platform is a hugely successful wireless technology and an unprecedented story of global
achievement and cooperation. GSM has become the worlds fastest growing communications technology of all time
and the leading global mobile standard, spanning 218 countries. GSM is an open, digital cellular technology used
for transmitting mobile voice and data services. GSM operates in the 900MHz and 1.8GHz bands GSM supports
data transfer speeds of up to 9.6 kbps, allowing the transmission of basic data services such as SMS.
