 INTRODUCTION

The goal of our project is to design a useful and fully functional

real-world product that is used to track the vehicle's location and
improve the security level

Combination of two Technologies: GPS and GSM

Exact position of the vehicle is tracked by GPS

Position of the vehicle in terms of latitude and longitude is access

by GSM modem located at remote location and displayed on
Google Earth
SYSTEM REQUIRMENTS

AERON GPS Module

SIM 300 GSM Module

AT89C51 Microcontroller

Serial Communication Unit(RS232)

On board devices

Web support for displaying location

 GLOBAL POSITIONING SYSTEM

• GPS is a satellite-based navigation system made up of a network

of 24 satellites

• Developed by the U.S. Department of Defence for military

applications

• The first GPS satellite was launched in 1978.A full constellation

of 24 satellites was achieved in 1994.

• Each satellite is built to last about 10 years. Replacements are

constantly being built and launched into orbit.

• The satellites transmit signals that can be detected by GPS

receivers located in your vehicles and used to determine their
location with great accuracy
 HOW GPS WORKS

GPS satellites circle the earth twice a day in a very precise orbit and transmit
signal information to earth.

GPS receivers take this information and calculates the user's exact location.

A GPS receiver must be locked on to the signal of at least three satellites to

calculate a 2D position (latitude and longitude) and track movement.

GPS Receivers commonly used in most Vehicle tracking systems can only
receive data from GPS Satellites. They cannot communicate back with GPS
or any other satellite.

A system based on GPS can only calculate its location but cannot send it to
central control room. In order to do this they normally use GSM networks.
GSM MODULE SIM 300
• Sends and receives the SMS
with a portable SIM card
facility
• Communicate with controller
in serial mode
• Requires 12V/100mAmp
• Powerful AT Command set
● GSM Mobile communication system
can be intelligently used by electronic
devices which can collect some data
and send it to the central place using
SMS or GSM data call.
● GSM is required in Vehicle tracking
systems because GPS system can
normally only receive location
information from satellites but cannot
communicate back with them.
● Hence we need some other
communication system like GSM to
send this location information to central
control room.
PROTOTYPE OF SYSTEM
BLOCK DIAGRAM
WORKING
The working of this system similar to that of vehicle tracking and locking system which is
used to track the vehicle by using GPS and GSM modules.

Here in this system, the system is put into off mode while the owner or the authorized
person is using the vehicle otherwise it is kept into active mode via a person or
remotely.

If any interruption occurs in the car while it is in active mode then IR Sensors sends the
message to microcontroller.

The controller is programmed such that it sends message about the place to the car
owner or the authorized person.

Till then the Motor Speeds are gradually decreased and come to stop. After that all the
doors get locked.

To open the doors or restart the engine, the owner has to enter the passwords.

 FUTURE SCOPE
● Besides using GSM, it is possible to implement the system using GPRS
technique.
● At the receiver end instead of using GSM module the information can be
possible to receive on internet
● An additional setting could be implemented to interface the system to the
car’s alarm to alert the owner on his cell phone if the alarm is set off.
● The automobile’s airbag system can also be wired to this system to report
severe accidents to immediately alert the police and ambulance service
with the location of the accident.
 CONCLUSION
● A real-time automobile tracking system via Google Earth is presented.
● The system included two main components: a transmitting embedded
module to interface in-vehicle GPS and GSM devices in order determine
and send automobile location and status information via SMS.
● The second stationary module is a receiving module to collect and process
the transmitted information to a compatible format with Google Earth to
remotely monitor the automobile location and status online.
● The transmitted location of the vehicle has been accurately tracking. The
accuracy of estimated vehicle coordinates has been enhanced.
