Introduction
Vehicle tracking by GPS -
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.

GSM
GSM is Global System for Mobile Communication.
It is one of the leading digital cellular system.
GSM is a standard set developed by the European
Telecommunications Standards Institute (ETSI).
GSM modem is used for transmitting and receiving the data.

GSM
SIM 300 is a tri- band GSM/GPRS engine.
It works on various frequencies i.e. EGSM 900MHz, DCS
1800MHz and PCS 1900MHz.
GSM Modules can be communicated to PIC-Microcontroller
using normal serial USART protocol.

Resistor
s
Resistor limits the electrical current that flows
through a circuit.
Resistance is the restriction of current.
The energy of the electrons that pass through the
resistor are changed to heat and/or light.
These are used to reduce current flow, adjust
signal levels and to divide voltages.

Capacitors
Capacitor is a electrical component that
stores electrical energy in an electric field.
Most capacitors contain at least two electrical
conductors in the form of metallic separated
by a dielectric medium.
Capacitors are widely used in electronic
circuits for blocking direct current while
allowing alternating current to pass.

Voltage Regulator
Voltage regulator is designed to
automatically maintain a constant voltage
level.
It may be a simple "feed-forward" design or
may include negative feedback control
loops.
Depending on the design, it may be used to
regulate one or more AC or DC voltages.

Global Positioning System (GPS)
GPS is a satellite navigation system that furnishes location and
time information in all climatic conditions to the user.
It is used for navigation in planes, ships, cars and trucks also.
The system gives critical abilities to military and civilian users
around the globe.
GPS module with 9600 baud rate is used to receive the data
from the satellites.

Features of GPS
24 Satellites at different orbits.
Revolve around Earth twice a day.
For a 2D location, 3 GPS Satellites are used.
For a 3D location, more than 3 Satellites are used.

Liquid Crystal Display (LCD)
Liquid crystal display (LCD) is a flat panel display or video
display that uses the light modulating properties of liquid
crystals.
LCDs are used in a wide range of applications
• Computer monitors.
• Instrument panels
• Aircraft cockpit displays.
• Television.

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.

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.

Working Principle
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.

22. http://www.edgefxkits.com/
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.

Working Principle
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.

Working Principle
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.
