GPS BASED VEHICLE MONITORING SYSTEM

ABSTRACT

The Vehicle Positioning or Tracking System combines the installation of an electronic

device in a vehicle, or fleet of vehicles, with purpose – designed software at least at one

operational base enable the owner or a third party to track the vehicle’s location, collecting data

in the process from the field and deliver it to the base of operation. Modern Vehicle tracking

System commonly use GPS Technology for locating the vehicle, but other types of technology

can also be used.  Vehicle information can be viewed on electronic maps via the Internet or

specialized software. Urban public transit authorities are an increasingly common user of vehicle

tracking systems, particularly in large cities. 

The VPS (Vehicle Positioning System) is a GPS based vehicle tracking system that is

used for security applications as well. The project uses two main underlying concepts. These are

GPS (Global Positioning System) and GSM (Global System for Mobile Communication). The

main application of this system in this context is tracking the vehicle to which the GPS is

connected, giving the information about its position whenever required and for the security of

each person travelling by the vehicle. This is done with the help of the GPS satellite and the GPS

module attached to the vehicle which needs to be tracked. The GPS antenna present in the GPS

module receives the information from the GPS satellite in NMEA (National Marine Electronics

Association) format and thus it reveals the position information. This information got from the

GPS antenna has to be sent to the Base station wherein it is decoded. For this we use GSM

module which has an antenna too. Thus we have at the Base station; the complete data about the

vehicle.

Along with tracking the vehicle, the system is used for security applications as well. Each

passenger or employee will have an ID of their own and will be using a remote containing key

for Entry, Exit and Panic. The Panic button is used by the driver or the passenger so as to alert

the concerned of emergency conditions. On pressing this button, an alarm will be activated

GPS BASED VEHICLE MONITORING SYSTEM

which will help the passenger or employee in emergencies and keep them secure throughout the

journey .The vehicle can also be immobilized remotely.

Several types of Vehicle Tracking devices exist. Typically they are classified as "Passive"

and "Active". "Passive" devices store GPS location, speed, heading and sometimes a trigger

event such as key on/off, door open/closed. Once the vehicle returns to a predetermined point,

the device is removed and the data downloaded to a computer for evaluation. Passive systems

include auto download type that transfer data via wireless download. "Active" devices also

collect the same information but usually transmit the data in real-time via cellular or satellite

networks to a computer or data center for evaluation.

Many modern vehicle tracking devices combine both active and passive tracking

abilities: when a cellular network is available and a tracking device is connected it transmits data

to a server; when a network is not available the device stores data in internal memory and will

transmit stored data to the server later when the network becomes available again.

Historically Vehicle Tracking has been accomplished by installing a box into the vehicle,

either self powered with batteries or wired into the vehicles power system. For detailed vehicle

locating and tracking this is still the predominant method, however, many companies are

increasingly interested in the emerging cell phone technologies that provide tracking of the sales

person and the vehicle. These systems also offer tracking of calls, texts, and web use and

generally provide a wider safety net for the staff member and the vehicle.

INTRODUCTION

TECHNOLOGY OVERVIEW

Vehicle tracking systems are devices used for tracking location of vehicles in real time.

This is made possible by installing electronic devices in the vehicle; it is the signals sent out by

the devices that enable owners or other parties entrusted with the tracking job to trace and follow

the vehicle.

It was the shipping industry that first started using vehicle tracking systems. When large

fleet of vehicles were spread out over the vast expanses of ocean, the owner corporations often

found it difficult to keep track of what was happening. As the saying goes necessity is the mother

of invention; thus GPS tracking systems which originally were used in military operations found

their application here. The commercial application grew popular very soon and these days

consumer vehicles of all sorts use tracking systems as devices to prevent theft and enhance

retrieval.

GPS (Global Positioning System) is the technology most commonly used for vehicle

tracking these days. There are also other variants of AVL (Automatic Vehicle Location) that

enable easy location of vehicles. The GPS modules with their satellite linked positioning

technique make easy and accurate location of the vehicle possible. The information can be

viewed on electronic maps that are connected to the Internet or otherwise supported by

specialized software. Advanced GPS modules may also have cellular or satellite transmitters that

communicate with remote users apart from the central station from where the tracking is done.

As we saw earlier, the GPS system uses satellite signals. These systems were originally

developed by the government for defense purposes. The satellite part is thus available to civilians

and commercial users free of cost. All the user needs to do is install the appropriate devices for

sending out and receiving signals. This makes GPS an inexpensive technology.

The other AVL systems like Loran and LoJack are terrestrial based and use radio

frequency (RF) transmitters. RF transmitters send out powerful signals that can pass through

Dept of E & I Page 13

Page 14: Gps Project Report

GPS BASED VEHICLE MONITORING SYSTEM

walls, garages and other indoor barriers. Terrestrial or otherwise, most of these do not need

antenna to be in direct line of sight with the satellite. This is a major advantage of the

technology’s progress.

Of all the applications of GPS, Vehicle tracking and navigational systems have brought

this technology to the day-to-day life of the common man. Today GPS fitted cars, ambulances,

fleets and police vehicles are common sights on the roads of developed countries. Known by

many names such as Automatic Vehicle Locating System (AVLS), Vehicle Tracking and

Information System (VTIS), Mobile Asset Management System (MAMS), these systems offer an

effective tool for improving the operational efficiency and utilization of the vehicles. GPS is

used in the vehicles for both tracking and navigation. Tracking systems enable a base station to

keep track of the vehicles without the intervention of the driver whereas navigation system helps

the driver to reach the destination. Whether navigation system or tracking system, the

architecture is more or less similar. The navigation system will have convenient, usually a

graphic display for the driver which is not needed for the tracking system. Vehicle tracking

systems combine a number of well-developed technologies.

To design the Vehicle Positioning System (VPS), we combined the GPS’s ability to pin-

point location along with the ability of the Global System for Mobile Communications (GSM) to

communicate with a control center in a wireless fashion. The system includes GPS-GSM

modules and a base station called the control center.

Let us briefly explain how GPS works. In order to monitor the vehicle, it is equipped with

a GPS-GSM VMSS system. It receives GPS signals from satellites, computes the location

information, and then sends it to the control center. With the vehicle location information, the

control center displays all of the vehicle positions on an electronic map in order to easily monitor

and control their routes. Besides tracking control, the control center can also maintain wireless

communication with the GPS units to provide other services such as alarms, status control, and

system updates.

GPS BASED VEHICLE MONITORING SYSTEM

Fig 1: Working of GPS Positioning System

The GPS Antenna is situated on the Moving Vehicle which receives the signal from the

Space Satellite. These give the exact location of the vehicle anywhere on earth. When the

Position is monitored by the antenna then it forwards its location to the base station or the

observer via Internet or any other mode of wireless communication.

In this project AT89S52 microcontroller is used for interfacing to various hardware

peripherals. The current design is an embedded application, which will continuously monitor a

moving Vehicle and report the status of the Vehicle on demand. For doing so an AT89S52

microcontroller is interfaced serially to a GSM Modem and GPS Receiver. A GSM modem is

used to send the position (Latitude and Longitude) of the vehicle from a remote place. The GPS

Dept of E & I Page 15

Page 16: Gps Project Report

GPS BASED VEHICLE MONITORING SYSTEM

modem will continuously give the data i.e. the latitude and longitude indicating the position of

the vehicle. The GPS modem gives many parameters as the output, but only the NMEA data

coming out is read and displayed on to the LCD. The same data is sent to the mobile at the other

end from where the position of the vehicle is demanded.

The hardware interfaces to microcontroller are LCD display, GSM modem and GPS

Receiver. The design uses RS-232 protocol for serial communication between the modems and

the microcontroller. A serial driver IC is used for converting TTL voltage levels to RS-232

voltage levels. When the request by user is sent to the number at the modem, the system

automatically sends a return reply to that mobile indicating the position of the vehicle in terms of

latitude and longitude.

GPS BASED VEHICLE MONITORING SYSTEM

HISTORY

The design of GPS is based partly on similar ground-based radio navigation systems, such

as LORAN and the Decca Navigator developed in the early 1940s, and used during World War

II. In 1956 Friedwardt Winterberg proposed a test of general relativity using accurate atomic

clocks placed in orbit in artificial satellites. To achieve accuracy requirements, GPS uses

principles of general relativity to correct the satellites' atomic clocks. Additional inspiration for

GPS came when the Soviet Union launched the first man-made satellite, Sputnik in 1957. A team

of U.S. scientists led by Dr. Richard B. Kershner were monitoring Sputnik's radio transmissions.

They discovered that, because of the Doppler Effect, the frequency of the signal being

transmitted by Sputnik was higher as the satellite approached, and lower as it continued away

from them. They realized that because they knew their exact location on the globe, they could

pinpoint where the satellite was along its orbit by measuring the Doppler distortion.

The first satellite navigation system, Transit, used by the United States Navy, was first

successfully tested in 1960. It used a constellation of five satellites and could provide a

navigational fix approximately once per hour. In 1967, the U.S. Navy developed

the Timation satellite that proved the ability to place accurate clocks in space, a technology

required by GPS. In the 1970s, the ground-based Omega Navigation System, based on phase

comparison of signal transmission from pairs of stations, became the first worldwide radio

navigation system. Limitations of these systems drove the need for a more universal navigation

solution with greater accuracy.

While there were wide needs for accurate navigation in military and civilian sectors, almost

none of those were seen as justification for the billions of dollars it would cost in research,

development, deployment, and operation for a constellation of navigation satellites. During

the Cold War arms race, the nuclear threat to the existence of the United States was the one need

that did justify this cost in the view of the United States Congress. This deterrent effect is why

GPS was funded. The nuclear triad consisted of the United States Navy's submarine-launched

ballistic missiles (SLBMs) along with United States Air Force (USAF) strategic bombers

and intercontinental ballistic missiles (ICBMs). Considered vital to the nuclear

deterrence posture, accurate determination of the SLBM launch position was a force multiplier.

Dept of E & I Page 17

Page 18: Gps Project Report

GPS BASED VEHICLE MONITORING SYSTEM

Precise navigation would enable United States submarines to get an accurate fix of their

positions prior to launching their SLBMs. The USAF with two-thirds of the nuclear triad also

had requirements for a more accurate and reliable navigation system. The Navy and Air Force

were developing their own technologies in parallel to solve what was essentially the same

problem. To increase the survivability of ICBMs, there was a proposal to use mobile launch

platforms so the need to fix the launch position had similarity to the SLBM situation.

In 1960, the Air Force proposed a radio-navigation system called MOSAIC (Mobile System

for Accurate ICBM Control) that was essentially a 3-D LORAN. A follow-on study called

Project 57 was worked in 1963 and it was "in this study that the GPS concept was born." That

same year the concept was pursued as Project 621B, which had "many of the attributes that you

now see in GPS"[5] and promised increased accuracy for Air Force bombers as well as ICBMs.

Updates from the Navy Transit system were too slow for the high speeds of Air Force operation.

The Navy Research Laboratory continued advancements with their Timation (Time Navigation)

satellites, first launched in 1967, and with the third one in 1974 carrying the first atomic clock

into orbit.[6]

With these parallel developments in the 1960s, it was realized that a superior system could be

developed by synthesizing the best technologies from 621B, Transit, Timation, and SECOR in a

multi-service program.

During Labor Day weekend in 1973, a meeting of about 12 military officers at the Pentagon

discussed the creation of a Defense Navigation Satellite System (DNSS). It was at this meeting

that "the real synthesis that became GPS was created." Later that year, the DNSS program was

named Navstar. With the individual satellites being associated with the name Navstar (as with

the predecessors Transit and Timation), a more fully encompassing name was used to identify

the constellation of Navstar satellites, Navstar-GPS, which was later shortened simply to GPS.[7]

After Korean Air Lines Flight 007, carrying 269 people, was shot down in 1983 after

straying into the USSR's prohibited airspace, in the vicinity of Sakhalin and Moneron Islands,

President Ronald Reagan issued a directive making GPS freely available for civilian use, once it

was sufficiently developed, as a common good. The first satellite was launched in 1989, and the

24th satellite was launched in 1994.

Dept of E & I Page 18

Page 19: Gps Project Report

GPS BASED VEHICLE MONITORING SYSTEM

Initially, the highest quality signal was reserved for military use, and the signal available for

civilian use was intentionally degraded ("Selective Availability", SA). This changed with United

States President Bill Clinton ordering Selective Availability turned off at midnight May 1, 2000,

improving the precision of civilian GPS from 100 meters (about 300 feet) to 20 meters (about

65 feet). The United States military by then had the ability to deny GPS service to potential

adversaries on a regional basis.

GPS is owned and operated by the United States Government as a national resource.

Department of Defense (USDOD) is the steward of GPS. Interagency GPS Executive Board

(IGEB) oversaw GPS policy matters from 1996 to 2004. After that the National Space-Based

Positioning, Navigation and Timing Executive Committee was established by presidential

directive in 2004 to advise and coordinate federal departments and agencies on matters

concerning the GPS and related systems. The executive committee is chaired jointly by the

deputy secretaries of defense and transportation. Its membership includes equivalent-level

officials from the departments of state, commerce, and homeland security, the Joint Chiefs of

Staff, and NASA. Components of the executive office of the president participate as observers to

the executive committee, and the FCC chairman participates as a liaison.

USDOD is required by law to "maintain a Standard Positioning Service (as defined in the

federal radio navigation plan and the standard positioning service signal specification) that will

be available on a continuous, worldwide basis," and "develop measures to prevent hostile use of

GPS and its augmentations without unduly disrupting or degrading civilian uses."

The AT89C52 is a low-power, high-performance CMOS 8-bit microcomputer with 8Kbytes

of Flash programmable and erasable read only memory (PEROM). The device is manufactured

using Atmel’s high-density nonvolatile memory technology and is compatible with the industry-

standard 80C51 and 80C52 instruction set and pin out. The on-chip Flash allows the program

memory to be reprogrammed in-system or by a conventional nonvolatile memory programmer.

GPS BASED VEHICLE MONITORING SYSTEM

Pin Description

VCC

Supply voltage.

GND

Ground.

Port 0

Port 0 is an 8-bit open drain bi-directional I/O port. As an output port, each pin can sink

eight TTL inputs. When 1s are written to port 0 pins, the pins can be used as high impedance

inputs. Port 0 can also be configured to be the multiplexed loworder address/data bus during

accesses to external program and data memory. In this mode, P0 has internal pull-ups.

Port 0 also receives the code bytes during Flash programming and outputs the code bytes

during program verification. External pull-ups are required during program verification.

Port 1

Port 1 is an 8-bit bi-directional I/O port with internal pull-ups. The Port 1 output buffers

can sink/source four TTL inputs. When 1s are written to Port 1 pins, they are pulled high by the

internal pull-ups and can be used as inputs. As inputs, Port 1 pins that are externally being pulled

low will source current (IIL) because of the internal pull-ups.

In addition, P1.0 and P1.1 can be configured to be the timer / counter 2 external count

input (P1.0/ T2) and the timer/counter 2 trigger input (P1.1/T2EX), respectively. Port 1 also

receives the low-order address bytes during Flash programming and verification.

Port 2

Port 2 is an 8-bit bi-directional I/O port with internal pull-ups. The Port 2 output buffers

can sink/source four TTL inputs. When 1s are written to Port 2 pins, they are pulled high by the

internal pull-ups and can be used as inputs. As inputs, Port 2 pins that are externally being pulled

Dept of E & I Page 25

Page 26: Gps Project Report

GPS BASED VEHICLE MONITORING SYSTEM

low will source current (IIL) because of the internal pull-ups. Port 2 emits the high-order address

byte during fetches from external program memory and during accesses to external data memory

that uses 16-bit addresses (MOVX @DPTR). In this application, Port 2 uses strong internal pull-

ups when emitting 1s. During accesses to external data memory that uses 8-bit addresses

(MOVX @ RI), Port 2 emits the contents of the P2 Special Function Register. Port 2 also

receives the high-order address bits and some control signals during Flash programming and

verification.

Port 3

Port 3 is an 8-bit bi-directional I/O port with internal pull-ups. The Port 3 output buffers

can sink/source four TTL inputs. When 1s are written to Port 3 pins, they are pulled high by the

internal pull-ups and can be used as inputs. As inputs, Port 3 pins that are externally being pulled

low will source current (IIL) because of the pull-ups. Port 3 also serves the functions of various

special features of the AT89C51, as shown in the following table. Port 3 also receives some

control signals for Flash programming and verification.

Port 3 Pin Alternate Functions

P3.0 RXD (serial input port)

P3.1 TXD (serial output port)

P3.2 INT0 (external interrupt 0)

P3.3 INT1 (external interrupt 1)

P3.4 T0 (timer 0 external input)

P3.5 T1 (timer 1 external input)

P3.6 WR (external data memory write strobe)

P3.7 RD (external data memory read strobe)

Dept of E & I Page 26

Page 27: Gps Project Report

GPS BASED VEHICLE MONITORING SYSTEM

RST

Reset input. A high on this pin for two machine cycles while the oscillator is running

resets the device.

ALE/PROG

Address Latch Enable is an output pulse for latching the low byte of the address during

accesses to external memory. This pin is also the program pulse input (PROG) during Flash

programming. In normal operation, ALE is emitted at a constant rate of 1/6 the oscillator

frequency and may be used for external timing or clocking purposes. Note, however, that one

ALE pulse is skipped during each access to external data memory. If desired, ALE operation can

be disabled by setting bit 0 of SFR location 8EH. With the bit set, ALE is active only during a

MOVX or MOVC instruction. Otherwise, the pin is weakly pulled high. Setting the ALE-disable

bit has no effect if the microcontroller is in external execution mode.

PSEN

Program Store Enable is the read strobe to external program memory. When the

AT89C52 is executing code from external program memory, PSEN is activated twice each

machine cycle, except that two PSEN activations are skipped during each access to external data

memory.

EA/VPP

External Access Enable. EA must be strapped to GND in order to enable the device to

fetch code from external program memory locations starting at 0000H up to FFFFH.

Note, however, that if lock bit 1 is programmed, EA will be internally latched on reset. EA

should be strapped to VCC for internal program executions. This pin also receives the 12-volt

programming enable voltage (VPP) during Flash programming when 12 - volt programming is

selected.

2. GPS RECEIVER WITH ACTIVE ANTENNA

Global Positioning System (GPS) Satellites broadcast signals from space that GPS receivers,

use to provide three-dimensional location (latitude, longitude, and altitude) plus precise time.

GPS receivers provides reliable positioning, navigation, and timing services to worldwide users

on a continuous basis in all weather, day and night, anywhere on or near the Earth. Sunrom’s

ultra-sensitive GPS receiver can acquire GPS signals from 65 channels of satellites and output

position data with high accuracy in extremely challenging environments and under poor signal

conditions due to its active antenna and high sensitivity. The GPS receiver’s - 160dBm tracking

sensitivity allows continuous position coverage in nearly all application environments. The

output is serial data of 9600 baud rate which is standard NMEA 0183 v3.0 protocol offering

industry standard data messages and a command set for easy interface to mapping software and

embedded devices

GPS BASED VEHICLE MONITORING SYSTEM

A GPS receiver calculates its position by carefully timing the signals sent by the

constellation of GPS satellites high above the Earth. Each satellite continually transmits

messages containing the time the message was sent, a precise orbit for the satellite sending the

message (the ephemeris), and the general system health and rough orbits of all GPS satellites (the

almanac). These signals travel at the speed of light through outer space, and slightly slower

through the atmosphere. The receiver uses the arrival time of each message to measure the

distance to each satellite thereby establishing that the GPS receiver is approximately on the

surfaces of spheres centered at each satellite. The GPS receiver also uses, when appropriate, the

knowledge that the GPS receiver is on (if vehicle altitude is known) or near the surface of a

sphere centered at the earth center. This information is then used to estimate the position of the

GPS receiver as the intersection of sphere surfaces. The resulting coordinates are converted to a

more convenient form for the user such as latitude and longitude, or location on a map, then

displayed.

It might seem that three sphere surfaces would be enough to solve for position, since

space has three dimensions. However a fourth condition is needed for two reasons. One has to do

with position and the other is to correct the GPS receiver clock.

It turns out that three sphere surfaces usually intersect in two points. Thus a fourth sphere

surface is needed to determine which intersection is the GPS receiver position. For near earth

vehicles, this knowledge that it is near earth is sufficient to determine the GPS receiver position

since for this case there is only one intersection which is near earth.

A fourth sphere surface is also needed to correct the GPS receiver clock. More precise

information is needed for this task. An estimate of the radius of the sphere is required. Therefore

an approximation of the earth altitude or radius of the sphere centered at the satellite must be

known.

GPS Block Diagram

Fig 4: BLOCK DIAGRAM OF GPS

The GPS Receiver consists of two units, first is active antenna which receives RF signals

and amplifies it. The antenna is active in the sense it takes power from the module and amplifies

the signal for high sensitivity. The RF signal is filtered and processed to generate NMEA format

serial data output.

GPS Receiver

The connector of GPS contains three wires

· Red wire is TXD Out

· Brown wire is +5V

· Black wire is Ground

These connections are marked on the PCB. Provide regulated +5V DC supply to +5V and

Ground. The TXD output wire can be connected to microcontroller directly.

The LED onboard will indicate that data is being transmitted out. It will blink every second

indicating data out.

Note: Do not connect TXD output pin to serial port of PC directly, It needs a MAX232

level conversion circuit since the unit has 5V level output signal.

Interfacing With MICROCONTROLLER

Here is an example of interfacing with microcontroller AT89S52 having UART at

5V level. Configure your microcontroller to communicate at 9600 baud rate and parse the

incoming data.

General GPS Receiver User’s Tips

a) If the satellite signals cannot be locked or experiencing receiving problem

(while in urban area), following steps are suggested:

Dept of E & I Page 35

Page 36: Gps Project Report

GPS BASED VEHICLE MONITORING SYSTEM

b) Please plug the external active antenna into GPS receiver and put the antenna

outdoor or on the roof of the vehicle for better receiving performance.

c) Move to another open space or reposition GPS receiver toward the direction

with least blockage

d) Move the GPS receiver away from the interference sources.

e) Wait until the weather condition is improved

f) Some vehicles having heavy metallic sun protecting coating on windshields

may affect signal receptions

g) Driving in and around high buildings may affect signal reception.

h) Driving under tunnels or in buildings may affect signal reception.

i) In general, GPS receiver performs best in open space where it can see clean

sky. Weather will affect GPS reception – rain & snow contribute to worsen

sensitivity.

j) When GPS receiver is moving, it will take longer time to get position fix.

Wait for satellite signals to be locked at a fixed point when first power-on the

GPS receiver to ensure quick

NMEA Protocol

This section provides a brief overview of the NMEA 0183 protocol, and describes both

the standard and optional messages offered by the GPS Receiver. NMEA 0183 is a simple, yet

comprehensive ASCII protocol which defines both the communication interface and the data

Page 37: Gps Project Report

GPS BASED VEHICLE MONITORING SYSTEM

format. The NMEA 0183 protocol was originally established to allow marine navigation

equipment to share information. Since it is a well established industry standard, NMEA

0183 has also gained popularity for use in applications other than marine electronics. The GPS

receiver supports the latest release of NMEA 0183, Version 3.0 (July 1, 2000). The primary

change in release 3.0 is the addition of the mode indicators in the GLL, RMC, and VTG

messages.

For those applications requiring output only from the GPS receiver, the standard NMEA

0183 sentences are a popular choice. Many standard application packages support the standard

NMEA output messages.

The standard NMEA output only messages are: GGA, GLL, GSA, GSV, RMC, VTC,

and ZDA.

3. LCD DISPLAY

Dept of E & I Page 37

Page 38: Gps Project Report

GPS BASED VEHICLE MONITORING SYSTEM

A liquid crystal display (LCD) is a thin, flat electronic visual display that uses the light

modulating properties of liquid crystals (LCs). LCs does not emit light directly. They are used in

a wide range of applications, including computer monitors, television, instrument panels, aircraft

cockpit displays, signage, etc. They are common in consumer devices such as video players,

gaming devices, clocks, watches, calculators, and telephones. LCDs have displaced cathode ray

tube (CRT) displays in most applications. They are usually more compact, lightweight, portable,

less expensive, more reliable, and easier on the eyes. They are available in a wider range of

screen sizes than CRT and plasma displays, and since they do not use phosphors, they cannot

suffer image burn-in.

LCDs are more energy efficient and offer safer disposal than CRTs. Its low electrical power

consumption enables it to be used in battery-powered electronic equipment. It is

an electronically-modulated optical device made up of any number of pixels filled with liquid

crystals and arrayed in front of a light source (backlight) or reflector to produce images in colour

or monochrome. The earliest discovery leading to the development of LCD technology, the

discovery of liquid crystals, dates from 1888. By 2008, worldwide sales of televisions with LCD

screens had surpassed the sale of CRT units.

Fig 8: LCD Display System 16 x 2

Dept of E & I Page 38

Page 39: Gps Project Report

GPS BASED VEHICLE MONITORING SYSTEM

Each pixel of an LCD typically consists of a layer of molecules aligned between

two transparent electrodes, and two polarizing filters, the axes of transmission of which are (in

most of the cases) perpendicular to each other. With no actual liquid crystal between the

polarizing filters, light passing through the first filter would be blocked by the second (crossed)

polarizer. In most of the cases the liquid crystal has double refraction.

The surfaces of the electrodes that are in contact with the liquid crystal material are

treated so as to align the liquid crystal molecules in a particular direction. This treatment

typically consists of a thin polymer layer that is unidirectional rubbed using, for example, a cloth.

The direction of the liquid crystal alignment is then defined by the direction of rubbing.

Electrodes are made of a transparent conductor called Indium Tin Oxide (ITO).

Before applying an electric field, the orientation of the liquid crystal molecules is

determined by the alignment at the surfaces of electrodes. In a twisted nematic device (still the

most common liquid crystal device), the surface alignment directions at the two electrodes are

perpendicular to each other, and so the molecules arrange themselves in a helical structure, or

twist. This reduces the rotation of the polarization of the incident light, and the device

appears grey. If the applied voltage is large enough, the liquid crystal molecules in the center of

the layer are almost completely untwisted and the polarization of the incident light is not rotated

as it passes through the liquid crystal layer. This light will then be mainly

polarized perpendicular to the second filter, and thus be blocked and the pixel will appear black.

By controlling the voltage applied across the liquid crystal layer in each pixel, light can be

allowed to pass through in varying amounts thus constituting different levels of gray.

This electric field also controls (reduces) the double refraction properties of the liquid crystal.

The optical effect of a twisted nematic device in the voltage-on state is far less dependent

on variations in the device thickness than that in the voltage-off state. Because of this, these

devices are usually operated between crossed polarizer’s such that they appear bright with no

voltage (the eye is much more sensitive to variations in the dark state than the bright state).

These devices can also be operated between parallel polarizer’s, in which case the bright and

Dept of E & I Page 39

Page 40: Gps Project Report

GPS BASED VEHICLE MONITORING SYSTEM

dark states are reversed. The voltage-off dark state in this configuration appears blotchy,

however, because of small variations of thickness across the device.

Both the liquid crystal material and the alignment layer material contain ionic compounds. If an

electric field of one particular polarity is applied for a long period of time, this ionic material is

attracted to the surfaces and degrades the device performance. This is avoided either by applying

an alternating current or by reversing the polarity of the electric field as the device is addressed

(the response of the liquid crystal layer is identical, regardless of the polarity of the applied

field).

When a large number of pixels are needed in a display, it is not technically possible to

drive each directly since then each pixel would require independent electrodes. Instead, the

display is multiplexed. In a multiplexed display, electrodes on one side of the display are grouped

and wired together (typically in columns), and each group gets its own voltage source. On the

other side, the electrodes are also grouped (typically in rows), with each group getting a voltage

sink. The groups are designed so each pixel has a unique, unshared combination of source and

sink. The electronics or the software driving the electronics then turns on sinks in sequence, and

drives sources for the pixels of each sink.

Brief history

1888: Friedrich Reinitzer (1858–1927) discovers the liquid crystalline nature of

cholesterol extracted from carrots (that is, two melting points and generation of colours) and

published his findings at a meeting of the Vienna Chemical Society on May 3, 1888 (F.

Reinitzer: Beiträge zur Kenntniss des Cholesterins, Monatshefte für Chemie (Wien) 9, 421-441

(1888)).

1904: Otto Lehmann publishes his work "Flüssige Kristalle" (Liquid Crystals).

1911: Charles Mauguin first experiments of liquids crystals confined between plates in

thin layers.

1922: Georges Friedel describes the structure and properties of liquid crystals and

classified them in 3 types (nematics, smectics and cholesterics).

Dept of E & I Page 40

Page 41: Gps Project Report

GPS BASED VEHICLE MONITORING SYSTEM

1927: Vsevolod Frederiks devises the electrically switched light valve, called

the Fréedericksz transition, the essential effect of all LCD technology.

1936: The Marconi Wireless Telegraph company patents the first practical application of

the technology, "The Liquid Crystal Light Valve".

1962: The first major English language publication on the subject "Molecular Structure

and Properties of Liquid Crystals", by Dr. George W. Gray.

1962: Richard Williams of RCA found that liquid crystals had some interesting electro-

optic characteristics and he realized an electro-optical effect by generating stripe-patterns in a

thin layer of liquid crystal material by the application of a voltage. This effect is based on an

electro-hydrodynamic instability forming what is now called “Williams domains” inside the

liquid crystal.

1964: George H. Heilmeier, then working in the RCA laboratories on the effect

discovered by Williams achieved the switching of colours by field-induced realignment of

dichroic dyes in a homeotropically oriented liquid crystal. Practical problems with this new

electro-optical effect made Heilmeier continue to work on scattering effects in liquid crystals and

finally the achievement of the first operational liquid crystal display based on what he called

the dynamic scattering mode (DSM). Application of a voltage to a DSM display switches the

initially clear transparent liquid crystal layer into a milky turbid state. DSM displays could be

operated in transmissive and in reflective mode but they required a considerable current to flow

for their operation. George H. Heilmeier was inducted in the National Inventors Hall of Fame

and credited with the invention of LCD.

1960s: Pioneering work on liquid crystals was undertaken in the late 1960s by

the UK's Royal Radar Establishment at Malvern, England. The team at RRE supported ongoing

work by George Gray and his team at the University of Hull who ultimately discovered the

cyanobiphenyl liquid crystals (which had correct stability and temperature properties for

application in LCDs).

1970: On December 4, 1970, the twisted nematic field effect in liquid crystals was filed

for patent by Hoffmann-LaRoche in Switzerland, (Swiss patent No. 532 261) with Wolfgang

Helfrich and Martin Schadt (then working for the Central Research Laboratories) listed as

inventors. Hoffmann-La Roche then licensed the invention to the Swiss manufacturer Brown,

Boveri & Cie who produced displays for wrist watches during the 1970s and also to Japanese

electronics industry which soon produced the first digital quartz wrist watches with TN-LCDs

and numerous other products. James Fergason while working with Sardari Arora and Alfred

Saupe at Kent State University Liquid Crystal Institute filed an identical patent in the USA on

April 22, 1971. In 1971 the company of Fergason ILIXCO (now LXD Incorporated) produced

the first LCDs based on the TN-effect, which soon superseded the poor-quality DSM types due

to improvements of lower operating voltages and lower power consumption.

1972: The first active-matrix liquid crystal display panel was produced in the United

States by Westinghouse, in Pittsburgh, PA.

1996: Samsung develops the optical patterning technique that enables multi-domain

LCD. Multi-domain and In Plane Switching subsequently remain the dominant LCD designs

through 2010.

1997: Hitachi resurrects the In Plane Switching (IPS) technology producing the first LCD

to have the visual quality acceptable for TV application.

2001: Jean Paul Gaultier uses LCD technology at his 2001 fall collection fashionshow

which brings LCD to mainstream.

2007: In the 4Q of 2007 for the first time LCD televisions surpassed CRT units in

worldwide sales.

2008: LCD TVs become the majority with a 50% market share of the 200 million TVs

forecast to ship globally in 2008 according to Display Bank.

GPS BASED VEHICLE MONITORING SYSTEM

LCDs with a small number of segments, such as those used in digital watches and pocket

calculators, have individual electrical contacts for each segment. An external

dedicated circuit supplies an electric charge to control each segment. This display structure is

unwieldy for more than a few display elements.

Small monochrome displays such as those found in personal organizers,

electronic weighing scales, older laptop screens, and the original Nintendo Game Boy have a

passive-matrix structure employing super-twisted nematic (STN) or double-layer STN (DSTN)

technology (the latter of which addresses a colour-shifting problem with the former), and colour-

STN (CSTN) in which colour is added by using an internal filter. Each row or column of the

display has a single electrical circuit. The pixels are addressed one at a time by row and column

addresses. This type of display is called passive-matrix addressed because the pixel must retain

its state between refreshes without the benefit of a steady electrical charge. As the number of

pixels (and, correspondingly, columns and rows) increases, this type of display becomes less

feasible. Very slow response times and poor contrast are typical of passive-matrix addressed

LCDs.

Monochrome passive-matrix LCDs was standard in most early laptops (although a few

used plasma displays). The commercially unsuccessful Macintosh Portable (released in 1989)

was one of the first to use an active-matrix display (though still monochrome), but passive-

matrix was the norm until the mid-1990s, when colour active-matrix became standard on all

laptops.

High-resolution colour displays such as modern LCD computer

monitors and televisions use an active matrix structure. A matrix of thin-film transistors (TFTs)

is added to the polarizing and colour filters. Each pixel has its own dedicated transistor, allowing

each column line to access one pixel. When a row line is activated, all of the column lines are

connected to a row of pixels and the correct voltage is driven onto all of the column lines. The

row line is then deactivated and the next row line is activated. All of the row lines are activated

in sequence during a refresh operation. Active-matrix addressed displays look "brighter" and

"sharper" than passive-matrix addressed displays of the same size, and generally have quicker

response times, producing much better images.

This module works in half-duplex mode. Means it can either transmit or receive but not

both at same time. After each transmission, module will be switched to receiver mode

automatically. The LED for TX and RX indicates whether IC is currently receiving or

transmitting data. The data sent is checked for CRC error if any. If chip is transmitting and any

data is input to transmit, it will be kept in buffer for next transmission cycle. It has internal 64

bytes of buffer for incoming data. When you power on the unit, the TX LED will briefly blink

indicating that initialization is complete and it is ready to use.

The RX LED is directly on TX OUT pin to indicate that actual data is received and it is

sent to output pin.

Page 52: Gps Project Report

GPS BASED VEHICLE MONITORING SYSTEM

The microcontroller and other devices get power supply from AC to DC adapter through

7805, 5 volts regulator. The voltage produced by an unregulated power supply will vary

depending on the load and on variations in the AC supply voltage. For critical electronics

applications a linear regulator may be used to set the voltage to a precise value, stabilized against

fluctuations in input voltage and load. The regulator also greatly reduces the ripple and noise in

the output direct current. Linear regulators often provide current limiting, protecting the power

supply and attached circuit from over current.

The adapter output voltage will be 12V DC non-regulated. The 7805 voltage regulator is

used to convert 12 V to 5V DC.

Fig13: 12 V Power Supply Circuit

GPS BASED VEHICLE MONITORING SYSTEM

7805 is a 5V fixed three terminal positive voltage regulator IC . The IC has features such

as safe operating area protection, thermal shut down, internal current limiting which makes the

IC very rugged. Out currents up to 1A can be drawn from the IC provided that there is a proper

heat sink. A 9V transformer steps down the main voltage, 1A bridge rectifier rectifies it and

capacitor C1 filters it and 7805 regulates it to produce a steady 5V DC.

7. Transformer

Dept of E & I Page 53

Page 54: Gps Project Report

GPS BASED VEHICLE MONITORING SYSTEM

A transformer is a static device that transfers electrical energy from one circuit to

another through inductively coupled conductors—the transformer's coils. A varying current in

the first or primary winding creates a varying magnetic flux in the transformer's core and thus a

varying magnetic through the secondary winding. This varying magnetic field induces a

varying electromotive force (EMF) or "voltage" in the secondary winding. This effect is

called mutual induction.

If a load is connected to the secondary, an electric current will flow in the secondary

winding and electrical energy will be transferred from the primary circuit through the

transformer to the load. In an ideal transformer, the induced voltage in the secondary winding

(Vs) is in proportion to the primary voltage (Vp), and is given by the ratio of the number of turns

in the secondary (Ns) to the number of turns in the primary (Np) as follows:

By appropriate selection of the ratio of turns, a transformer thus allows an alternating current

(AC) voltage to be "stepped up" by making Ns greater than Np, or "stepped down" by

making Ns less than Np.

In the vast majority of transformers, the windings are coils wound around a ferromagnetic

core, air-core transformers being a notable exception.

Transformers range in size from a thumbnail-sized coupling transformer hidden inside a

stage microphone to huge units weighing hundreds of tons used to interconnect portions

of power grids. All operate with the same basic principles, although the range of designs is wide.

While new technologies have eliminated the need for transformers in some electronic circuits,

transformers are still found in nearly all electronic devices designed for household ("mains")

voltage. Transformers are essential for high-voltage electric power transmission, which makes

long-distance transmission economically practical.

Dept of E & I Page 54

Page 55: Gps Project Report

GPS BASED VEHICLE MONITORING SYSTEM

Fig 14: A 12V AC Transformer

The transformer is based on two principles: first, that an electric current can produce

a magnetic field (electromagnetism), and, second that a changing magnetic field within a coil of

wire induces a voltage across the ends of the coil (electromagnetic induction). Changing the

current in the primary coil changes the magnetic flux that is developed. The changing magnetic

flux induces a voltage in the secondary coil.

8. DC BATTERY

Dept of E & I Page 55

Page 56: Gps Project Report

GPS BASED VEHICLE MONITORING SYSTEM

A battery is a device that can store electricity. Some are rechargeable, and some are not.

They store direct current (DC) electricity. A battery really means two or more wet or dry cells

connected in series for more voltage, or in parallel for more current, although people often call a

cell a battery. The voltage of a cell depends on the chemicals used while the amount of power or

current it can supply also depends on how large the cell is; a bigger cell of a given type can

supply more amps, or for a longer time.

The chemical reactions that occur in a battery are exothermic reactions and, thus, produce

heat. For example, if you leave your laptop on for a long time, and then touch the battery, it will

be warm or hot. However, the batteries used in laptops are called lithium-ion batteries and they

sometimes do have a fire hazard (A few years ago, dell laptops that that were powered by lithium

batteries began to catch fire, though this event was rare.).

Batteries come in lots of different shapes and sizes and voltages. It is possible, but not

easy, to run wires to use an odd size battery for an odd purpose. Batteries are always more

costly/expensive than mains electricity. But mains electricity is not suitable for things that

are mobile. Bicycles have tail-lights that can be operated by batteries, and sometimes by a

little generator powered by the wheels. Wind-up generators are now available to power

small clockwork radios, clockwork torches, etc.

Rechargeable batteries are recharged by reversing the chemical reaction that occurs

within the battery. But a rechargeable battery can only be recharged a given amount of time

(recharge life). Even iPods, with built in batteries, cannot be recharged forever. Moreover, each

time a battery is recharged, its ability to hold a charge is degraded a bit. Non-rechargeable

batteries should not be charged as various caustic and corrosive substances can leak out, such as

potassium hydroxide.

9. MISCELLANEOUS

Resistors

A resistor is a two-terminal passive electronic component which implements electrical

resistance as a circuit element. When a voltage V is applied across the terminals of a resistor, a

current I will flow through the resistor in direct proportion to that voltage. This constant of

proportionality is called conductance, G. The reciprocal of the conductance is known as

the resistance R, since, with a given voltage V, a larger value of R further "resists" the flow of

current I as given by Ohm's law:

Resistors are common elements of electrical networks and electronic circuits and are

ubiquitous in most electronic equipment. Practical resistors can be made of various compounds

and films, as well as resistance wire (wire made of a high-resistivity alloy, such as nickel-

chrome). Resistors are also implemented within integrated circuits, particularly analog devices,

and can also be integrated into hybrid and printed circuits.

The electrical functionality of a resistor is specified by its resistance: common

commercial resistors are manufactured over a range of more than 9 orders of magnitude. When

specifying that resistance in an electronic design, the required precision of the resistance may

require attention to the manufacturing tolerance of the chosen resistor, according to its specific

application. The temperature coefficient of the resistance may also be of concern in some

precision applications. Practical resistors are also specified as having a maximum power rating

which must exceed the anticipated power dissipation of that resistor in a particular circuit: this is

mainly of concern in power electronics applications. Resistors with higher power ratings are

physically larger and may require heat sinking. In a high voltage circuit, attention must

sometimes be paid to the rated maximum working voltage of the resistor.

The series inductance of a practical resistor causes its behavior to depart from ohms law;

this specification can be important in some high-frequency applications for smaller values of

resistance. In a low-noise amplifier or pre-amp the noise characteristics of a resistor may be an

issue. The unwanted inductance, excess noise, and temperature coefficient are mainly dependent

on the technology used in manufacturing the resistor. They are not normally specified

individually for a particular family of resistors manufactured using a particular technology. A

family of discrete resistors is also characterized according to its form factor, that is, the size of

the device and position of its leads (or terminals) which is relevant in the practical manufacturing

of circuits using them.

Capacitor

A capacitor (formerly known as condenser) is a device for storing electric charge. The

forms of practical capacitors vary widely, but all contain at least two conductors separated by a

non-conductor. Capacitors used as parts of electrical systems, for example, consist of metal foils

separated by a layer of insulating film.

A capacitor is a passive electronic component consisting of a pair of conductors separated

by a dielectric (insulator). When there is a potential difference (voltage) across the conductors, a

static electric field develops across the dielectric, causing positive charge to collect on one plate

and negative charge on the other plate. Energy is stored in the electrostatic field. An ideal

capacitor is characterized by a single constant value, capacitance, measured in farads. This is the

ratio of the electric charge on each conductor to the potential difference between them.

Capacitors are widely used in electronic circuits for blocking direct current while

allowing alternating current to pass, in filter networks, for smoothing the output of power

supplies, in the resonant circuits that tune radios to particular frequencies and for many other

purposes.

The capacitance is greatest when there is a narrow separation between large areas of

conductor; hence capacitor conductors are often called "plates", referring to an early means of

construction. In practice the dielectric between the plates passes a small amount of leakage

current and also has an electric field strength limit, resulting in a breakdown voltage, while the

conductors and leads introduce an undesired inductance and resistance.

11. DB-9 SERIAL PORT

An Asynchronous port on the computer used to connect a serial device to the computer

and capable of transmitting one bit at a time. Serial ports are typically identified on IBM

compatible computers as COM (communications) ports. For example, a mouse might be

connected to COM1 and a modem to COM2. With the introduction of USB, FireWire, and other

faster solutions serial ports are rarely used when compared to how often they've been used in the

past. DB 9 and DB 25 Are most common Serial port used for Communication.

GPS BASED VEHICLE MONITORING SYSTEM

DESCRIPTION

A network of satellite that continuously transmit coded information, which makes it

possible to precisely identify locations on earth by measuring distance from satellites.

By having received the almanac and ephemeris data, the GPS receiver knows the

position (location) of the satellites at all times

The device consists of microcontroller interfaced with a GPS and a RF Module. The

GPS module receives the information of the vehicle and passes it to the controller.

The controller extracts the required information and makes a packet outfit that

consists of geographical data and other information

This packet is passed to the RF Transmitter that is configured for point to point

service. Te remote receiver consists of a RF Receiver interfaced with PC.A software

will display the current position of the vehicle on the screen window or on the map.

The Block Diagram of GPS based Vehicle Positioning System (VPS) is analysed

fully on this basis.

Also the LCD Hardware is interfaced to the microcontroller which shows the same

data so that the person driving the vehicle can also get his exact position on Earth

along with the person monitoring him at the static station.

The project is vehicle positioning and navigation system we can locate the vehicle around

the globe with 8052 micro controller, GPS receiver, RF module, MAX 232, EEPROM.

Microcontroller used is AT89S52. The code is written in the internal memory of Microcontroller

i.e. ROM. With help of instruction set it processes the instructions and it acts as interface

between RF and GPS with help of serial communication of 8052. GPS always transmits the data

and GSM transmits and receive the data.

GPS pin TX is connected to microcontroller via MAX232. RF pins TX and RX are

connected to microcontroller serial ports.

Microcontroller communicates with the help of serial communication. First it takes the

data from the GPS receiver and then sends the information to the owner in the form of numerical

values with help of RF modem.

GPS receiver works on 9600 baud rate is used to receive the data from space Segment

(from Satellites), the GPS values of different Satellites are sent to microcontroller AT89S52,

where these are processed and forwarded to RF Modem. At the time of processing GPS receives

only $GPRMC values only. From these values microcontroller takes only latitude and longitude

values excluding time, altitude, name of the satellite, authentication etc. E.g. LAT: 1728:2470

WORKING

Of all the applications of GPS, Vehicle tracking and navigational systems have brought

this technology to the day-to-day life of the common man. Today GPS fitted cars, ambulances,

fleets and police vehicles are common sights on the roads of developed countries. Known by

many names such as Automatic Vehicle Locating System (AVLS), Vehicle Tracking and

Information System (VTIS), Mobile Asset Management System (MAMS), these systems offer an

effective tool for improving the operational efficiency and utilization of the vehicles. GPS is

used in the vehicles for both tracking and navigation. Tracking systems enable a base station to

keep track of the vehicles without the intervention of the driver whereas navigation system helps

the driver to reach the destination. Whether navigation system or tracking system, the

architecture is more or less similar. The navigation system will have convenient, usually a

graphic display for the driver which is not needed for the tracking system. Vehicle tracking

systems combine a number of well-developed technologies.

To design the VMSS system, we combined the GPS’s ability to pin-point location along

with the ability of the Global System for Mobile Communications (GSM) to communicate with a

control center in a wireless fashion. The system includes GPS-GSM modules and a base station

called the control center.

Let us briefly explain how VMSS works. In order to monitor the vehicle, it is equipped with a

GPS-GSM VMSS system. It receives GPS signals from satellites, computes the location

information, and then sends it to the control center. With the vehicle location information, the

control center displays all of the vehicle positions on an electronic map in order to easily monitor

and control their routes. Besides tracking control, the control center can also maintain wireless

communication with the GPS units to provide other services such as alarms, status control, and

system updates.

GPS BASED VEHICLE MONITORING SYSTEM

RESULT AND CONCLUSION

A properly designed Vehicle Monitoring System saves time and work by eliminating the

need for service personnel to visit each site for inspection, data collection/logging or make

adjustments.

Here we are using simplex transmission and not duplex transmission. So data can only be

sent from remote end to the central end.

We can also send the data regarding the speed, altitude, fuel level or any other quantity,

to the industry end, from remote places at any time.

The following advantages have been found:

The circuit is quite simple.

The technique is suitable for long distances and large geographical area.

Remote monitoring systems are designed to allow a smaller number of

operators to monitor a large number of individual assets.

It is cheaper.

Works anywhere on earth and on any time.

GPS BASED VEHICLE MONITORING SYSTEM

FUTURE SCOPE

Many issues surround the future of Global Positioning System technology and

operability. The most certain aspect of the future of GPS is its increased usage and its expansion

into new areas of application. Bradford Parkinson, from the University of Minnesota Center for

Transportation Studies, predicts that by 2010 there will be more than 50 million GPS users that

perform applications relating to the following fields:

automobiles 

ships

farm vehicles

Aircraft

military systems

Technology

Additional advances in GPS technology will also include increased positional accuracy

and more reliable calculations. The addition of civilian codes and civilian frequencies will be

developed to solely meet the needs of civilian users with little to no military application. (Marine

Computer Systems)

GPS Satellite System Interoperability

With the advent of the European GALILEO system, GPS developers and users have

increasingly pondered the benefits of interoperating the NAVSTAR and GALILEO systems. The

possible benefits include:

more available signals that will allow GPS users to access more satellites from

remote areas

additional signal power and spectrum diversity will lessen the impact of

expected signal noise and interference

improved signal redundancy

Dept of E & I Page 81

Page 82: Gps Project Report

GPS BASED VEHICLE MONITORING SYSTEM

Drawbacks

Some potential drawbacks, costs and challenges that will be incurred with interoperability

include:

increased equipment cost to the user to be able to access both systems

additional noise and interference environment

setting satellite orbits to ensure that interoperability actually benefits the user

Advantages

There are many advantages of having a GPS system:

A GPS system comes with a “panic” button. When this button is pressed an

operator at the GPS carrier can listen in on the conversation and either help

you out or alert the authorities. This will keep you safe in case of accidents or

hi jacks.

Your car will never lose your car at any place. The GPS service will track the

car for you and send its lights flashing.

If your vehicle is ever stolen the GPS system will track the vehicle and the

authorities will be able to get it back in no time.

A GPS system in a car, boat, plane or haversack will ensure that you are

never lost.

A GPS system streamlines supply chains and truck movements. The system

cans their destination. Track goods at any point of time and accurately predict

when goods will reach

Dept of E & I Page 82

Page 83: Gps Project Report

GPS BASED VEHICLE MONITORING SYSTEM

GPS systems are used to detect structural problems in buildings and roads

and to predict disasters like earthquakes and so on. The

scientific applications of a GPS system are many.

A GPS system can be used to locate a lost child, pet or family. The device is

quite small and is like a watch or button on a collar.

 

A GPS is a great exercise monitor and will help you keep track of your speed.
