1. INTRODUCTION

Vehicle tracking system main aim is to give security

to all vehicles.Accident alert system main aim is to

rescuing people in accidents.This is improved

security system for vehicles.The latest like GPS are

highly useful now a days,this system enables the

owner to observe and track his vehicle and find out

vehicle moment and its past activities of vehicle.This

new technology,popularly called vehicle Tracking

Systems which created many wonders in the security

of the vehicle.This hardware is fitted on to the

vehicle in such a manner that is not visible to anyone

who is inside or outside of the vehicle.Thus it is used

as a convert unit which continuously or by any

interrupt to the system,sends the location data to the

monitoring unit.When the vehicle is stolen the

location data from tracking system can be used to

find the location and can be informed to police

for further action.Some vehicles tracking system

can even detect unauthorized moment of the vehicle

and then alert the owner.This gives an edge over

other pieces of technology for the same purpose.This

accident alert system in it detects the accidents and

the location of the accident occurred and sends GPS

coordinates to the specified mobile,computer,etc.,The

fire detector circuit in it is used to detect fire in the

vehicle,if the temperature inside the vehicle goes

above a certain limit then a warning will be

automatically send to the intendereceiver.The

Infrared sensor which is additionally interfaced to the

microcontroller is used to detect the obstacles and

accidents,in any case if any mishap occurs then its

warning will be directly send to the intented receiver.

By adding additional sensors such as temperature

sensors and infrared sensors the system can enabled

to detect fire, theft and obstacles.

1.3 GSM:

Global System for Mobile Communication(GSM) is

a globally accepted standard for digital cellular

communication.GSM is the name of standardization

group established in 1982 to create a common

European mobile telephone standard that would

formulate specifications for a pan-European mobile

1.4 LM 35 sensor The LM35 series are precision integrated-circuit

temperature devices with an output voltage linearly-

proportional to the Centigrade temperature. The LM35

device has an advantage over linear temperature sensors

calibrated in Kelvin, as the user is not required to subtract a

large constant voltage from the output to obtain convenient

Centigrade scaling. The LM35 device does not require any

external calibration or trimming to provide typical

accuracies of ±¼°C at room temperature and ±¾°C over a

full −55°C to 150°C temperature range. Lower cost is

assured by trimming and calibration at the wafer level. The

low-output impedance, linear output, and precise inherent

calibration of the LM35 device makes interfacing to

readout or control circuitry especially easy. The device is

used with single power supplies, or with plus and minus

supplies. As the LM35 device draws only 60 µA from the

supply, it has very low self-heating of less than 0.1°C in

still air. The LM35 device is rated to operate over a −55°C

to 150°C temperature range, while the LM35C device is

rated for a −40°C to 110°C range (−10° with improved

accuracy). The LM35-series devices are available packaged

in hermetic TO transistor packages, while the LM35C,

LM35CA, and LM35D devices are available in the plastic

TO-92 transistor package. The LM35D device is available

in an 8-lead surface-mount small-outline package and a

plastic TO-220 package.

1.5 LCD

An HD44780 Character LCD is an industry standard

liquid crystal display (LCD) display device designed for

interfacing with embedded electronics. These screens come

in common configurations of 8x1 characters, 16x2, and

20x4 among others. The largest such configuration is 40x4

characters, but these are rare and are actually two separate

20x4 screens seamlessly joined together.These screens are

often found in copiers, fax machines, laser printers,

industrial test equipment, networking equipment such as

routers and storage devices, etc. These are not the kind of

screens one would find in a cell phone, portable television,

etc. They are limited to text only, with 8 customizable

characters.

2.SOFTWARE REQUIREMENT

2.1Arduino Compiler : The Arduino IDE is a cross-platform application written in

Java, and is derived from the IDE for the Processing

programming language and the Wiring project. It is

designed to introduce programming to artists and other

newcomers unfamiliar with software development. It

includes a code editor with features such as syntax

highlighting, brace matching, and automatic ndentation,

and is also capable of compiling and uploading programs to

the board with a single click. There is typically no need to

edit make files or run programs on a command-line

interface. Although building on command-line is possible if

required with some third-party tools such a Ino.The

Arduino IDE comes with a C/C++ library called "Wiring"

(from the project of the same name), which makes many

common input/output operations much easier. Arduino

programs are written in C/C++.

3.1BLOCK DIAGRAM DESCRIPTION

In this Project it is proposed to design an embedded

system which is used for tracking and positioning of

any vehicle by using Global Positioning System

(GPS) and Global system for mobile communication

(GSM). In this project 8052 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 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 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. An EEPROM is used to

store the data received by GPS receiver. The

hardware interfaces to microcontroller are LCD

display, GSM modem and GPS Receiver. In order to

interface GSM modem and GPS Receiver to the

controller, a MUX is used. 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.Different types or sensors such as

infrared sensors and fire detector are used for

detecting different types of problem encountered in

the vehicle such as theft, accident, fire warning etc.

In any of these cases messages will be automatically

send to the intended receiver.When a request by

user is sent to the number at the modem, the

system automatically sends a return reply to that

particular mobile indicating the position of the

vehicle in terms of latitude and longitude. A

Program has been developed which is used to

locate the exact position of the vehicle and also

to navigated track of the moving vehicle on

Google Map.

management and which in turn brings large profits.

Better scheduling or route planning can enable you

handle larger jobs loads within a particular time.

Vehicle tracking both in case of personal as well as

business purpose improves safety and security,

communication medium, performance monitoring

and increases productivity. So in the coming year, it

is going to play a major role in our day-to-day living.

Main motto of the project is to incorporate different

types of sensors so that they help in decrease the

chances of losing life in such accident which we can’t

stop from occurring. Whenever accident is alerted the

paramedics are reached to the particular location to

increase the chances of life. This device invention is

much more useful for the accidents occurred in

deserted places and midnights. This vehicle tracking

and accident alert feature plays much more important

role in day to day life in future.
