This document describes a vehicle tracking system using GPS and GSM. The system uses a microcontroller, GPS module, GSM modem, and other components to determine a vehicle's location via GPS satellites and send the coordinates as an SMS via the GSM network. It allows owners to track vehicles and recover stolen ones. The system works by the GPS module sending coordinates to the microcontroller, which passes them to the GSM modem to transmit via SMS. It has applications in fleet management, delivery tracking, and stolen vehicle recovery.

Vehicle Tracking System (VTS) is the technology used to determine the
exact location of any vehicle using different methods like GPS and other radio navigation systems operating through satellites and ground based stations. This device is used to determine the precise location of a vehicle, and intimate the position to the concerned authority through an SMS.
This system is an important tool for tracking each vehicle at a given
period of time and now it is becoming increasingly popular for people having expensive cars and hence as a theft prevention and retrieval device. Vehicle Vehicle tracking Trackingby byGPS GPS–– GSM GSM Block Diagram

Its low electrical power consumption enables it to be
used in battery.
http://www.edgefxkits.com/ Vehicle Tracking by GPS – GSM Circuit Description
Vehicle tracking by GPS - GSM consists of a microcontroller, GPS
module, GSM modem and 9V DC power supply.
GPS module gets the location information from satellites in the form of latitude and longitude.
The microcontroller processes this information and sends it to
the GSM modem.
The GSM modem then sends the information to the owner’s
mobile phone.
http://www.edgefxkits.com/ Vehicle Tracking by GPS – GSM Working Principle
Vehicle Tracking by GPS – GPS consists of GPS receiver and GSM modem with a micro controller.
The whole system is attached to the vehicle.
One GSM mobile phone is attached to the computer with VB(Visual basic) application.
So the GPS system will send the longitudinal and altitude values corresponding to the position of vehicle to GSM Modem.

Imagine the bus has left from Hyderabad at 8 o clock in the morning.
If the officer in charge for that vehicle wants to know where the vehicle is, he will come to the computer and click on the vehicle number on the VB program.
The VB program will send an SMS to the vehicle number.
The SMS sent would come through the GSM service provider and then reach the vehicle, which is traveling.
http://www.edgefxkits.com/ Vehicle Tracking by GPS – GSM Working Principle
Because the vehicle has a GSM device with SIM card.
This GSM modem will receive the SMS and send to the microcontroller in the vehicle.
The microcontroller will receive this SMS and compare the password and the command.
If every thing matches then it will perform the request required by the office.

Name of the place is assigned for each longitude & latitude.
The GSM receiver in the vehicle office receives these data & gives to the PC through serial port.
The VB program in the PC checks this data with its database
& displays the details of the vehicle on the screen.
The device is password controlled i.e. person who knows the
device password only able to operate.

In case of any mishaps such as fire , theft or obstacle ,the device will automatically send an alert to the registered number i.e, the number that is feeded into the memory of microcontroller.

Connect the circuit to GPS and GSM modem.
Switch on the circuit.
Switch on the GPS module and wait for 10-15 minutes for initialisation.
Switch on the GSM modem.
Dial the mobile number in the GSM modem. After two rings, the ringing stops automatically.

Wait for a few seconds. You will get an SMS alert in your mobile.
Check your SMS inbox. You will see the latitude and longitude data in the form of SMS text.
Open a standard map and locate the point on the map.
You can also enter latitude and longitude values in a software on any suitable software.

Stolen vehicle recovery.
Field service management.
It is used for food delivery and car rental
companies.
Easily installed in any vehicle such as cars, boats and
motorbikes.
It can be used to track animals in the jungle.
http://www.edgefxkits.com/ Vehicle Tracking by GPS – GSM Advantages
It provides more security.
We can access the system from the remote place.
It reduce vehicle abuse.
Fleet monitoring.
Route monitoring.
http://www.edgefxkits.com/ Vehicle Tracking by GPS – GSM Limitations
If there is noise in edge detected image, then it
is hard to track the vehicle.
