Design of GPS and GSM Based Vehicle Location and Tracking System

A vehicle tracking system combines the installation of an electronic device in a vehicle, or fleet of vehicles, with purpose-designed computer software to enable the owner or a third party to track the vehicles location, collecting data in the process. Modern vehicle tracking systems commonly use Global Positioning System (GPS) technology for locating the Vehicle. To achieve automatic Vehicle Location system that can transmit the location information in real time. The information is transmitted to Tracking server using GSM/GPRS modem on GSM network by using SMS or using direct TCP/IP connection with Tracking server through GPRS. Tracking server also has GSM/GPRS modem that receives vehicle location information via GSM network and stores this information in database. This information is available to authorized users of the system via website over the internet.
