Abstract

A vehicle tracking system combines the installation of an electronic device in

a vehicle, or fleet vehicles, with purpose-designed computer software to enable the

owner or a third party to track the vehicle’s location, collecting data in the process.

Modern vehicle tracking systems commonly use Global Positioning System (GPS)

technology for locating the vehicle, but other types of automatic vehicle location

technology can also be used. Vehicle information can be viewed on electronic maps

via the Internet or specialized software. In the main they are easy to steal, and the

average motorist has very little knowledge of what it is all about. To avoid this kind

of steal we are going to implement a system it provides more security to the vehicle.

Existing System: In the previous system security lock and alarm is implemented in

a car. If a burglar can break open the lock, then it becomes easy for the burglar

to steal the car. And in old security system if the car is stolen then it is out of

the owner control. User doesnt have any awareness about the current location of

the vehicle.The Proposed System: The RF transmitter is attached with the vehi-

cle which has its own identification. This data will be continuously transmitted to

the RF receiver connected to the microcontroller. This GPS will be location the

position of vehicle and transmit that data to the microcontroller. Suppose the RF

receiver not receiving signal from the transmitting unit, receiver unit send the signal

to the microcontroller, from that we can identify the theft. If the vehicle is theft

it automatically sends location of the vehicle to its owner as a SMS through GSM

modem. This will be a much simpler and low cost technique compared to others. If

a password like SMS is sent by the owner, it automatically stops the vehicle.

Introduction

Vehicle Tracking System (VTS) is the technology used to determine the location

of a vehicle using different methods like GPS and other radio navigation systems

operating through satellites and ground based stations. By following triangulation

or trilateration methods the tracking system enables to calculate easy and accurate

location of the vehicle. Vehicle information like location details, speed, distance

traveled etc. can be viewed on a digital mapping with the help of a software via

Internet. Even data can be stored and downloaded to a computer from the GPS

unit at a base station and that can later be used for analysis. 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.

Figure 1.1: GPS tracking of vehicle

i. The system consists of modern hardware and software components enabling

one to track their vehicle online or offline. Any vehicle tracking system consists

1

RCPIT, Shirpur Department of Electronics & Telecommunication

of mainly three parts mobile vehicle unit, fixed based station and, database and

software system.

ii. Vehicle Unit: It is the hardware component attached to the vehicle having

either a GPS/GSM modem. The unit is configured around a primary modem that

functions with the tracking software by receiving signals from GPS satellites or radio

station points with the help of antenna. The controller modem converts the data

and sends the vehicle location data to the server.

iii. Fixed Based Station: Consists of a wireless network to receive and forward

the data to the data center. Base stations are equipped with tracking software and

geographic map useful for determining the vehicle location. Maps of every city and

landmarks are available in the based station that has an in-built Web Server.

iv. Database and Software: The position information or the coordinates of each

visiting points are stored in a database, which later can be viewed in a display screen

using digital maps. However, the users have to connect themselves to the web server

with the respective vehicle ID stored in the database and only then s/he can view

the location of vehicle traveled.

History of Vehicle Tracking

GPS or Global Positioning Systems were designed by the United States Gov-

ernment and military, which the design was intended to be used as surveillance.

After several years went by the government signed a treaty to allow civilians to buy

GPS units also only the civilians would get precise downgraded ratings. Years after

the Global Positioning Systems were developed the military controlled the systems

despite that civilians could still purchase them in stores. In addition, despite that

Europe has designed its own systems called the Galileo the US military still has

complete control. GPS units are also called tracking devices that are quite costly

still. As more of these devices develop however the more affordable the GPS can

be purchased. Despite of the innovative technology and designs of the GPS today

the devices has seen some notable changes or reductions in pricing. Companies now

have more access to these devices and many of the companies can find benefits.

These days you can pay-as-you go or lease a GPS system for your company. This

means you do not have to worry about spending upfront money, which once stopped

companies from installing the Global positioning systems at one time. Todays GPS

applications have vastly developed as well. It is possible to use the Global Posi-

tioning Systems to design expense reports, create time sheets, or reduce the costs

of fuel consumption. You can also use the tracking devices to increase efficiency

of employee driving. The GPS unit allows you to create Geo-Fences about a des-

ignated location, which gives you alerts once your driver(s) passes through. This

3


means you have added security combined with more powerful customer support for

your workers. Todays GPS units are great tracking devices that help fleet managers

stay in control of their business. The applications in todays GPS units make it

possible to take full control of your company. It is clear that the tracking devices

offer many benefits to companies, since you can build automated expense reports

anytime. GPS units do more than just allow companies to create reports. These

devices also help to put an end to thieves. According to recent reports, crime is at a

high, which means that car theft is increasing. If you have the right GPS unit, you

can put an end to car thefts because you can lock and unlock your car anytime you

choose. GPS are small tracking devices that are installed in your car and it will sup-

ply you with feedback data from tracking software that loads from a satellite. This

gives you more control over your vehicles. The chief reason for companies to install

tracking devices is to monitor their mobile workforce. A preventive measure device

allows companies to monitor their employees activities. Company workers can no

longer take your vehicles to unassigned locations. They will not be able to get away

with unauthorized activities at any time because you can monitor their every action

on a digital screen. The phantom pixel is another thing some webmasters do to get

better rankings. Unfortunately it will backfire on you since the search engines do

not want this to occur. You see, the phantom pixel is when you might have a 1

pixel image or an image so small it cannot be seen by the regular eye. They use the

pixel to stuff it with keywords. The search engine can view it in the code, which is

how they know it is there and can give you better rank for the keywords in theory.

Of course since the search engines dont like this phantom pixel you are instead not

getting anything for the extra keywords except sent to the bottomless pit.

2.1 Early Technology

In the initial period of tracking only two radios were used to exchange the infor-

mation. One radio was attached to the vehicle while another at base station by

which drivers were enabled to talk to their masters. Fleet operator could identify



the progress through their routes. The technology was not without its limits. It was

restricted by the distance which became a hurdle in accuracy and better connectiv-

ity between driver and fleet operators. Base station was dependent on the driver

for the information and a huge size fleet could not have been managed depending

on man-power only. The scene of vehicle tracking underwent a change with the ar-

rival of GPS technology. This reduced the dependence on man-power. Most of the

work of tracking became electronic. Computers proved a great help in managing a

large fleet of vehicle. This also made the information authentic. As this technology

was available at affordable cost all whether small or big fleet could take benefit of

this technology Because of the cheap accessibility of the device computer tracking

facilities has come to stay and associated with enhanced management. Today each

vehicle carries tracking unit which is monitored from the base station. Base station

receives the data from the unit. All these facilities require a heavy investment of

capital for the installation of the infrastructure of tracking system for monitoring

and dispatching.

Hardware Design

3.1 GSM Specifications:

GSM modem is used for transmitting and receiving the data. SIM 300 is a tri-

band GSM/GPRS engine. It works on various frequencies i.e. EGSM 900MHz, DCS

1800MHz and PCS 1900MHz.

3.1.1 Frequency

900 MHz or 1800 MHz (Some countries in the Americas including Canada and the

United States use the 850 MHz and 1900 MHz bands, 400 and 450 MHz frequency

bands are assigned in some countries, notably Scandinavia)

3.1.2 Modulation

Modulation is a form of change process where we change the input information into

a suitable format for the transmission medium. We also changed the information

by demodulating the signal at the receiving end.The GSM uses Gaussian Minimum

Shift Keying (GMSK) modulation method.

6


3.1.3 Access Methods

Because radio spectrum is a limited resource shared by all users, a method must be

devised to divide up the bandwidth among as many users as possible.GSM chose a

combination of TDMA/FDMA as its method. The FDMA part involves the division

by frequency of the total 25 MHz bandwidth into 124 carrier frequencies of 200 kHz

bandwidth. One or more carrier frequencies are then assigned to each BS. Each

of these carrier frequencies is then divided in time, using a TDMA scheme, into

eight time slots. One time slot is used for transmission by the mobile and one for

reception. They are separated in time so that the mobile unit does not receive and

transmit at the same time.

3.1.4 Transmission Rate

: The total symbol rate for GSM at 1 bit per symbol in GMSK produces 270.833 K

symbols/second. The gross transmission rate of the time slot is 22.8 Kbps.

3.1.5 Frequency Band

The uplink frequency range specified for GSM is 933 - 960 MHz (basic 900 MHz

band only). The downlink frequency band 890 - 915 MHz (basic 900 MHz band

only).

3.1.6 Channel Spacing

This indicates separation between adjacent carrier frequencies. In GSM, this is 200

kHz

3.1.7 Speech Coding

GSM uses linear predictive coding (LPC). The purpose of LPC is to reduce the bit

rate. The LPC provides parameters for a filter that mimics the vocal tract. The



signal passes through this filter, leaving behind a residual signal. Speech is encoded

at 13 kbps.

3.1.8 Duplex Distance

The duplex distance is 80 MHz Duplex distance is the distance between the uplink

and downlink frequencies. A channel has two frequencies, 80 MHz apart

3.2 GSM Modem

System contains high Performance ARM controller, a GPS,and GSM modem and

overall system reside into a vehicle. Atracking system will provide effective real

time vehiclelocation reporting .Tracking system will inform where yourvehicle is

and where it has been, how longer it has been there.The basic function of in vehi-

cle unite is to acquire, Monitorand transmit the position latitude, longitude, time

tomanagement center either at fixed interval or on demand.Microcontroller unit

form the heart of tracking unit, whichacquires and process the position data from

the GPS module.The GPS receiver of vehicle terminal receives and resolves thenav-

igation message broadcasted by GPS position satellites,computes the longitude and

latitude of vehicle coordinates, transforms it into the GSM message form by GSM-

communication controller, and sends the message tomonitoring center via the GSM

network The core of data communication about this system lies inwireless commu-

nication control terminals that uses GSM Modules to transfer long-distance data

extensively and reliably. It Support instructions of AT commands. SIM300 can

be integrated with a wide range of applications. SIM300 isa Tri-band GSM/GPRS

engine that works on frequencies EGSM 900 MHz, DCS 1800 MHz and PCS1900

MHzSIM300 provides GPRS multi-slot class 10 capabilities andsupport the GPRS

coding schemes CS-1, CS-2, CS-3 and CS- 4. With a tiny configuration of 40mm x

33mm x 2.85 mm,SIM300 can fit almost all the space requirement in ourapplication.

Therefore, the MCU can connect with GSM modules very expediently through serial

interfaces.

3.3 GPS Receiver

The hardware interfaces for GPS units are designed to meet NMEA requirements.

The GPS receiver provides data in NMEA 0183format with a 1Hz update rate.



Generally message received by GPS is in NMEA National Marine Electronics As-

sociation] message format and NMEA protocol which is most commonly used is

NMEA0183 protocol.

3.4 Receiver Features:

• Very good acquisition and good tracking sensitivity.

• Antenna open short detection/protection

• Tracking sensitivity:-154dB-m

• Acquisition sensitivity 148dB-ms

• 5v and 3.3volt option available

3.5 Working of GPS

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 GSM. At the time of process-

ing 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 LOG: 7843.3089 GSM modem with a baud

rate 57600 . A GPS receiver operated by a user on Earth measures the time it

takes radio signals to travel from four or more satellites to its location, calculates

the distance to each satellite, and from this calculation determines the users longi-

tude, latitude, and altitude. The U.S. Department of Defense originally developed

the Navstar constellation for military use, but a less precise form of the service is

available free of charge to civilian users around the globe. The basic civilian service

will locate a receiver within 10 meters (33 feet) of its true location, though various

augmentation techniques can be used to pinpoint the location within less than 1 cm

(0.4 inch). With such accuracy and the ubiquity of the service, GPS has evolved far

beyond its original military purpose and has created a revolution in personal and

commercial navigation. Battlefield missiles and artillery projectiles use GPS signals

to determine their positions and velocities, but so do the U.S. space shuttle and the

International Space Station as well as commercial jetliners and private airplanes.

Ambulance fleets, family automobiles, and railroad locomotives benefit from GPS

positioning, which also serves farm tractors, ocean liners, hikers, and even golfers.

Many GPS receivers are no larger than a pocket calculator and are powered by

disposable batteries, while GPS computer chips the size of a babys fingernail have

been installed in wristwatches, cellular telephones, and personal digital assistants.


Chapter 4

Methodology

4.1 Working

The project consists of GPS receiver and GSM modem with a micro controller.

The whole system is attached to the vehicle. In the other end (main vehicle station)

one GSM mobile phone is attached to the computer with VB 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 Bangalore at 6 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, 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.

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 micro-

controller 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 8052 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 communica-

tion 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.

4.3 Concept and Overview

This vehicle tracking system takes input from GPS and send it through the GSM

module to desired mobile/laptop using mobile communication. Vehicle Tracking

System is one of the biggest technological advancements to track the activities of

the vehicle. The security system uses Global Positioning System GPS, to find the

location of the monitored or tracked vehicle and then uses satellite or radio systems

to send to send the coordinates and the location data to the monitoring center. At

monitoring center various softwares are used to plot the Vehicle on a map. In this

way the Vehicle owners are able to track their vehicle on a real-time basis. Due

to real-time tracking facility, vehicle tracking systems are becoming increasingly

popular among owners of expensive vehicles.

Applications

When some technology comes to be used at practical level it happens to cherish

both plus as well as minus points of its own. But sometimes technology may be

positive in itself but its application can be misused. Before we go ahead to give

space to any technology in our house or work place we should have pre-estimates of

its fall outs.

• In view of long journeys and night journeys by car the technology can provide

a safety network to the person in condition of emergency. It can cut time of

journey short by providing the information regarding location, speed, distance

from the destination leading to best route planning

• In view of long journeys and night journeys by car the technology can provide

a safety network to the person in condition of emergency. It can cut time of

journey short by providing the information regarding location, speed, distance

from the destination leading to best route planning.

• Best feature of the technology is that it is easy to use. just an automated

unit is needed to be installed in the vehicle and connected to the centre which

may be provided by some company. This instrument is monitored by the GPS

tracking company which keeps all the records or its customers locations. All

details of location etc are communicated to the user by cell phone or internet

connection. Increasing productivity of your mobile workers.

• It helps monitoring employee driving habits and activities.

• Helps you locate your employees are on-the-road.

• Helps you verify the employee time sheet.

• Helps you in monitoring all your vehicles.

• Helps you in timely delivery of the consignments

• Helps you monitor the vehicle speeds

• Helps you in tracking the movement of vehicles on the road


Chapter 6

Advantages and Disadvantages

6.1 Advantages

• Commercial fleet operators are by far the largest users of vehicle tracking

systems. These systems are used for operational functions such as routing,

security, dispatch and collecting on-board information.

• These systems are also used in consumer vehicles as devices for preventing

theft and retrieving stolen/lost vehicles. The signal sent out by the installed

device help the police to track the vehicle. These tracking systems can be

used as an alternative for traditional car alarms or in combination with it.

Installing tracking systems can thus bring down the insurance costs for your

vehicle by reducing the risk factor.

• Vehicle Tracking systems often have several alternatives, like sending auto-

matic alerts to a phone or email if the vehicle is moved without due authoriza-

tion. They can also work as one layer of several combined security measures

• Apart from security concerns, the tracking systems can also help users such

as taxi services to improve their customer service. The systems enable the

operators to identify the empty taxis and direct the nearest one to pick up the

customer

17


• Vehicle tracking systems can also be applied for monitoring driving behavior

for both commercial and individual situations. Parents for instance can use

tracking devices to keep an eye on their teenage sons driving. The applications

for this project are in military, navigation, automobiles, aircrafts, fleet man-

agement, remote monitoring, remote control, security systems, teleservices,

etc.

• Fleet monitoring

• Vehicle scheduling

• Route monitoring

• Driver monitoring

• Accident analysis

• Geo-fencing geo-coding

6.2 Disadvantages

• This program is highly sensitive to the camera position and the environment,

so a considerable amount of tuning has to be done each time a new video is

taken or camera position is changed and even more so if the video is of an

entirely new environment.

• If there is noise in the edge detected image, we can’t really track the vehicle.

What is meant by noise is that if some humans are coming near to the car

then the edge detected image will have the edges of that human or animal or

tree, then the program will try to match those edges with the car model. The

program might treat this match as a success but really it will be off the track.

• We could not model the curves in the maruti-800, like in some images the

driver and the steering can be seen, but we could not find a solution for that.



Also the body of the Maruti can be best modeled as combination of curves

and the lines.

• Also if distance between the vehicle positions in the two consecutive frames

is too much then this tracking program can’t detect the vehicle in the second

frame and will try to track it in the subsequent frame

• The main limitation of the software is the real time implementation, this cant

be implemented with this much time efficiency in any of the real time appli-

cations. This limitation is mainly due to the processing time.


Chapter 7

Conclusion and Future Scope

7.1 Conclusion

Tracking system is becoming increasingly important in largecities and it is more

secured than other systems. It iscompletely integrated so that once it is implemented

in all vehicles, then it is possible to track anytime from anywhere. Ithas real-time

capability, emerges in order to strengthen therelations among people, vehicle and

road by putting modern information technologies together and able to forms a real-

timeaccurate, effective comprehensive transportation system.This system has many

advantages such as large capability, wide areas range, low operation costs, effective,

Strong expandability and Easy to use in vehicle traffic administration.Upgrading

this setup is very easy which makes it open to future a requirement which also

makes it more efficient.

7.2 Future Scope

• We can use the EEPROM to store the previous Navigating positions up to

256 locations and we can navigate up to N number of locations by increasing

its memory.

20


• We can reduce the size of the kit by using GPS+GSM on the same module.

• We can increase the accuracy up to 3m by increasing the cost of the GPS

receivers.

• We can use our kit for detection of bomb by connecting to the bomb detector.

• With the help of high sensitivity vibration sensors we can detect the accident.

• Whenever vehicle unexpectedly had an accident on the road with help of vi-

bration sensor we can detect the accident and we can send the location to the

owner, hospital and police.

• We can use our kit to assist the traffic. By keeping the kits in the entire

vehicles and by knowing the locations of all the vehicles.

• If anybody steals our car we can easily find our car around the globe. By

keeping vehicle positioning vehicle on the vehicle.
