If you 2ant to kno2; 2here your car or truck is, the
routes and arri!al of your fleet of !ehicles, if someone is
stealing your !ehicle or if you 2ant to protect your !ehicle
from thie!es, a !ehicle3tracking de!ice can #e of help, A
!ehicle tracking system 2ill pro!ide effecti!e, real time
!ehicle location, mapping and reporting, This information
also leads to higher profits through #etter fleet management,
A !ehicle tracking system 2ill inform 2here your is at that
particular time,
4e are making the prototype of such a !ehicle tracking
system using the 2ell kno2n 8S" technology, :ur !ehicle
tracking system can track a !ehicle #y sending a simple sms
using a 8S" "odule 6or any mo#ile terminal that supports
8S"7, 4e can also control the !ehicle #y decelerating it if it
is found to #e in a suspicious or dangerous condition, Such
a system can #e implemented #y a company manufacturing
!ehicle or security agencies responsi#le for theft, :ur main
aim is to make the !ehicle o2ners secure a#out their !ehicles,

There are #roadly t2o methods of Vehicle Tracking 2hich
are #roadly recogni@ed, Each method has many !ariants and
dialects, Selecting and implementing a particular method de3
pends on !arious factors Such as the accuracy re5uired, time
taken #y that method etc, The methods are #riefly eAplained
#elo2,
A, Vehicle Tracking sing
8PS
A 8PS tracking unit is a de!ice that uses the 8lo#al
Positioning System to determine the precise location of a
!ehicle, person, or other asset to 2hich it is attached and
to record the position of the asset at regular inter!als, The
recorded location data can #e stored 2ithin the tracking unit,
or it may #e transmitted to a central location data #ase, or
internet3connected computer, using a cellular 68PRS7, radio,
or satellite modem em#edded in the unit,
This allo2s the assetBs location to #e displayed against a
map #ackdrop either in real3time or 2hen analy@ing the track
later, using customi@ed soft2are, A 8PS tracking system uses
the 89SS 68lo#al 9a!igation Satellite System7 net2ork, This
net2ork incorporates a range of satellites that use micro2a!e
signals 2hich are transmitted to 8PS de!ices to gi!e infor3
mation on location, !ehicle speed, time and direction, So, a
8PS tracking system can potentially gi!e #oth real3time and
historic na!igation data on any kind of 1ourney,
C, Vehicle Tracking sing

kno2n technology 8lo#al System for "o#ile communication,

retrie!e the area ID and can send the area ID #ack in the
form of message,8S" #ased !ehicle tracking system make

III, "ET<:D I"P>E"E9TED
In this pro1ect 2e ha!e implemented 8S" #ased !ehicle
tracking system, This method 2as selected #ecause 8S" is
2idely kno2n and used technology, This method is !ery cheap
as compared to 8PS #ased technology, hence e!en a common
man can also afford it, <o2e!er, its accuracy is less then 8PS
#ased tracking #ut is sufficient enough in most of the cases,
IV, SDSTE" :VERVIE4
Since our pro1ect is #ased on 8S" system, our #asic
re5uirement is 8S" "odule or any 8S" terminal, There
should #e a 8S" "odule 2ith the user of the system as
2ell as another 8S" "odule in the !ehicle to #e tracked, To
control the operation of the 8S" "odule at the users side, 2e
ha!e used a PC connected to the 8S" "odule !ia the serial
port, To control the 8S" "odule, application soft2are in the
controlling PC should #e installed,
In the !ehicle section, there 2ill #e a Atmega.) AVR
microcontroller to control the operation of the 8S" "odule,
<ere, the microcontroller should #e programmed to control
messaging to and from 8S" "odule and to display the
action performed #y microcontroller, To the microcontroller,
the decelerating circuitry 2ill #e connected, As 2e cannot
sho2 the actual mechanical #raking system of a !ehicle, 2e
ha!e used relays 2hich resem#le the ignition of the !ehicle
and motor turn onEoff,

AT commands are the instructions used to control a modem,
There are four types of AT command operations(
-7 Test operation, A test operation is used to check 2hether
a certain AT command is supported #y the 8S"E8PRS
modem or mo#ile phone,
)7 Set operation, A set operation is used to change the
settings used #y the 8S"E8PRS modem or mo#ile
phone for certain tasks,
.7 Read operation, A read operation is used to retrie!e
the current settings used #y the 8S"E8PRS modem or
mo#ile phone for certain tasks,
$7 EAecution operation, An eAecution operation is used to
perform an action or retrie!e informationEstatus a#out
the 8S"E8PRS modem or mo#ile phone, Some of
commands are eAplained #elo2(
