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.

services to world wide users on a continous basis in
all weather, day and night, anywhere on or nearer the

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
cellular radio system operating at 900Mhz.The
message will be send to the user by using GSM.

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.

Monitor the fuel through tracking device (with the
help of fuel sensor connected to the device).
- Fleet management/tracking
When managing a fleet of vehicles, knowing the real
time location of all derivers allow management to
meet customer needs more efficiently.
-Distance calculation
Calculate the distance travelled by the fleet.
6.CONCLUSION
Vehicle tracking system makes better fleet
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.
