This Project presents an automotive localization system using GPS and GSM-SMS services. The system permits localization of the automobile and transmitting the position to the owner on his mobile phone as a short message (SMS) at his request.   The system can be interconnected with the vehicle and alert the owner on his mobile phone. This tracking system is composed of a GPS receiver, Arduino Microcontroller and a GSM Modem. GPS Receiver gets the location information from satellites in the form of latitude and longitude. The Arduino Microcontroller processes this information and this processed information is sent to the user/owner using GSM modem. Whenever there is presence of fire or if any vibration has occurred then through GSM, an SMS will be sent along with the location details using GPS. The vehicle path can also be stored in memory card.   The presented application is a low-cost solution for automobile position and status, very useful in case of car theft situations, for monitoring adolescent drivers by their parents as well as in car tracking system applications. The proposed solution can be used in other types of application, where the information needed is requested rarely and at irregular period of time (when requested).
