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 even controls the ignition of the vehicle using DC motor.   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. The system also controls the ignition of the vehicle. The status of the project will display on LCD.   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 system also controls the ignition of the vehicle using DC motor. 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).    

Objectives:

  • To design a vehicle tracking system using GPS and GSM technology.
  • To determine the real-time location of the vehicle using GPS satellites.
  • To send vehicle location details to the owner through SMS alerts.
  • To control vehicle ignition using a DC motor mechanism.
  • To display vehicle status and tracking information on an LCD.
  • To provide security against vehicle theft and unauthorized usage.
  • To develop a low-cost and efficient automobile monitoring system.
  • To enable remote monitoring and tracking of vehicles anytime.
