Abstract-
A vehicle tracking system is an electronic device installed in a vehicle to enable the owner or a third party totrack the vehicle's location. This paper proposed to design a vehicle tracking system that works using GPS and GSMtechnology, which would be the cheapest source of vehicle tracking and it would work as anti-theft system. It is anembedded system which is used for tracking and positioning of any vehicle by using Global Positioning System (GPS) andGlobal system for mobile communication (GSM). This design will continuously monitor a moving Vehicle and report thestatus of the Vehicle on demand. For doing so an AT89C51 microcontroller is interfaced serially to a GSM Modem andGPS 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. Thesame data is sent to the mobile at the other end from where the position of the vehicle is demanded. When the request byuser is sent to the number at the GSM modem, the system automatically sends a return reply to that mobile indicating the position of the vehicle in terms of latitude and longitude in real time.
INTRODUCTION
Car theft prevention and recovery system requires the real-time locating whether they are mobile or in the garage and the proper drivers operating the assets
In the case of moving personal mobile assets such as valuable vehicles, the active ZONER™ RFID badges on operators or owners and the onboard RELAYER™ reader with a hidde communication module provides the prevention of being stolen in the parking garage and quick recovery in case of being stolen.
An onboard RELAYER™ reader is monitored by a second superstructure of network RELAYER™ monitors (“masters”)on the garage to provide real-time location at all time.
Each access point is controlled by a RELAYER monitor to assure that a proper driver with “correct” ZONER™ badge is within 10 ft of the vehicle.
The tracking operation is activated when the owner reports the vehicle is stolen. The onboard RFID RELAYER™ reader is in direct communication with a hidden communication module that is equipped with GPS for mobile locations and a cellular and/or satellite communication to reports its positions whenever a proper driver is not within 10 ft of the vehicle.
Parking & Vehicle ID
MotorTag is a unique in-vehicle electronic tag that can be used for vehicle identity, security, access management and parking applications. For example to allow entry into secure sites, to capture vehicle specific information, to manage parking areas, for on street permit parking and to instantly verify vehicle and driver details. The tag is attached to the inside of the vehicle windscreen and unlike paper based permits MotorTag cannot be copied and so provides greater security.
MotorTag is superior to other technologies in this space, as it does not require contact between tag and reader and it operates in the optimum distance of between one and ten metres to the reader. The system can be configured with both handheld and static readers, while it is designed to provide very accurate singularity of read – in other words, a specific vehicle can be uniquely identified amongst numerous other vehicles in the immediate vicinity.
System Overview
MotorTag provides a secure electronic parking management system, consisting of the following elements:
A more convenient and secure electronic parking permit will replace any current paper permits, which is still easily attached to the inside of the vehicle windscreen.
Security staff or parking attendants carrying handheld readers will wirelessly interrogate the target vehicle tag, which will provide a unique permit number.
The permit number is relayed to a central database via the mobile phone GPRS data network if the parking area is remote or by WIFI wireless network if the parking is on-site.
