This project mainly works on GPS and GSM systems. The Bus is traced by using information from satellite systems and send to GSM systems.
Bus and system are connected initially by using GSM network.The System will send message to Moving Bus for connectivity, hardware mounted on Bus reacts to message and send conformation message to system and then if the message is valid one then GPS modem is initiated and requested for location.
The latitude and longitude values are compared with the values stored in the memory and corresponding location name is given to the controller which in turn uses GSM/GPRS to send the location name by means of Short Message Service back to system.
PROBLEMS:- Vehicle tracking has become so advanced and
simple with various upcoming technologies. But the cost effectiveness and its
implementation have become high. The problem lies in maintaining high grade
servers to back up the data for vehicle tracking and the use of internet to
track these vehicles. SOLUTION:- Although real time tracking of vehicles
through internet gives a solutions to public vehicles. Based on the
literature reviews, the system
proposed here is a
GPS/GSM real time
vehicle tracking system with internal database of
the various location
details of which the vehicle
would travel on
a daily basis. This
solution can be
applied to public transport buses and
college buses which take only
the specified routes
on a daily basis.
