1/3
INTRODUCTION
Background
Vehicle tracking system solution are which help in monitoring
the management of vehicles
with the help of electronic devices called AVL Vehicle Tracker
installed in the vehicles toenable the vehicle owners or third
parties track the location of the vehicle. Most modern
vehicles tracking systems now uses wireless or global
positioning system modules to allow easy
and accurate monitoring of the location of the vehicle. Many
systems also combine
communication components such as cellular or satellite
transmitters to communicate the vehicle's
location to a remote user. Vehicle information can be viewed on
the electronic maps via the
internet or specialized software.
Automatic Vehicle Location (AVL) is an advanced method used to
track and monitor any
remote vehicle equipped with a software unit that receives and
transfers signals through GPS
satellite. AVL is a combination of Global Positioning System
(GPS) and Geographic InformationSystem (GIS) that provides actual
geographic real time position of each vehicle.
Statements of the problem
Out of the various services that are available in a given
company or organization,
transportation service is the major one. This service is meant
to serve mainly the employees and
also in some case the customers of the organization. Due to the
nature of the service, it is really
difficult to monitor and make sure that the proper utilization
of resource is being made. As a
result the personnel that are assigned to give this service
may:
- Delays the arrival time.- Drives the direction not allowed for
him.- The driver changes the car identification number (Targa) and
make
the car idle.
Summing it up, there is a vast problem in accurately locating
and monitoring the various
vehicles that are used for transportation service in a given
organization or company in our
country, which enabled the various personnel that are assigned
for this task to use the vehicles in
favor of themselves without the knowledge of the vehicle owner
which intern makes the
organization or company prone to a great deal of unnecessary
cost. This misusage of resources
in a given public, governmental or private organization
initiates us to find a controlling
mechanism for the transportation services.

Objectives
The objective of this project can be viewed by dividing in to
two sections; main objective
andspecific objective
Main Objective
The main objective of this project is to design SMS based real
time car tracking system which
used to detect the position of a car accurately and display the
location of the vehicle online on a
Google Map to the concerned body in duty to monitor the
vehicles
Sepecific Objective
Developing Automatic Vehicle Location system using GPS for
positioning informationand GSM/GPRS or information transmission
with following features
Acquisition of vehicles location information (latitude
longitude). Developing a web based software to display all
transmitted information to end user along
with displaying location of vehicle on a map.
To provide a solution to avoid car stolen in the lower cost than
advance security carsystem.
Methodology of the work
The methodology that is used for designing and prototype
implementation of the project is
briefly discussed as follows. First all the studies Addis Ababa
City bus manual system are
analyzed carefully. After this an algorithm is designed for
overall system. with that of AVLvehicle Tracker. On the other hand
for the monitoring station, a mechanism for displaying the
transmitted signal on a web based map is determined.
