Vehicle Tracking System :

A vehicle tracking system is an electronic device installed in a vehicle to enable the owner or a third party to track the vehicle's location. Most modern vehicle tracking systems use Global Positioning System (GPS) modules for accurate location of the vehicle. Many systems also combine a communications component such as cellular or satellite transmitters to communicate the vehicle's location to a remote user. Vehicle information can be viewed on electronic maps via the Internet or specialized software.

Technology:

There are 24 satellites available in space and it is guaranteed that at any given time, there will be at least three satellites available anywhere under the sky. GSM technology is used to transmit this and display the geographical position of the vehicle at the base station.

The Vehicle tracking system is completely modular in design. It is made up of 2 two parts: The Mobile Vehicle unit and The Fixed Base System.

The unit is configured around a main controller module, which executes the software to configure and control the GPS receiver, GSM Module, and IO Ports. This unit is to be fitted in the vehicle, with appropriate GPS and wireless antenna.

The GPS receiver detects the position and provides it to the Controller module. The Controller module converts the received data and sends it to the central station using SMS.  Messages received from the Central station can be displayed on an LCD and the driver can send messages from a keypad.

The Base Station allows a client to view his vehicle on a Geographic map. Multi layer in-depth maps of each city are available and the position (Vehicle tracking systems)of the vehicle is displayed on these maps. The Base Station has an in-built Web Server. The position (Vehicle tracking systems) information received from each vehicle is stored in the database. To view the location of a vehicle, a client must log into the web server and specify the vehicle id. He can view his vehicle as long as he is connected to the site
