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. This paper proposed to design a
vehicle tracking system that works using GPS and GSM
technology, which would be the cheapest source of vehicle
tracking and it would work as anti-theft system. For doing so
an ARM7 microcontroller is interfaced serially to a GSM
Modem and GPS 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 position of the
vehicle. When the request by user is sent to the number at the
GSM modem, the system automatically sends a return reply
to that mobile. Here piezo electric buzzer is used to detect the
vibrations that are occurred in case of any accidents and it
sends signal to microcontroller to send latitude and longitude
information to the number stored in microcontroller. Also a
SOS Button is used in case of any emergencies. When the
button is pressed, the system automatically sends a message
to the number stored in the microcontroller.

“A Cost Effective Model for Vehicle Tracking System” is
an approach for vehicle tracking with the help of GPS
receivers and GSM modem. Vehicle Tracking System
resulted in improving overall productivity and reduces the
cost with better fleet management that in turn offers better
return on your investments. Better scheduling or route
planning can enable you handle larger jobs loads within a
particular time. Taking ARM as platform, and GPS and
GSM as wireless data communication platform, Vehicle
Positioning System is small, stable and reliable, with small
delay, which can effectively overcome the past
disadvantages of poor real time and high operating costs
existed in the system.Vehicle tracking both in case of
personal as well as business purpose improves safety and
security, communication medium, performance monitoring
and increases productivity. So in the coming year, it is
going to play a major role in our day-to-day living.
