Abstract:
Vehicle tracking has found its applications in a variety of domains. Most of the currently available vehicles tracking systems are based upon using some expensive tracking units that employ only GPS signals to determine position and have very high monthly subscription charges from their service providers. To reduce the cost for such applications, this paper proposes the use of a partially damaged or low-cost android device with GSM capability and some other useful working sensors to periodically report the location and then display and monitor the determined location set on a remote digital map. This device can be integrated with a vehicle and made to boot up and start tracking automatically as soon as the vehicle’s ignition is turned on and stop tracking and shutdown automatically after the vehicle’s ignition is turned off. These devices may find application in fleet management, public transport systems, etc. as discussed inside this paper.
