2. Tracking …..?
A tracking system is used for the observing of
persons or objects on the move and supplying a
timely ordered sequence of location data for further
processing.
3. Types of Tracking Devices …..
1- RFID (Radio frequency identification).
2- Radio Tracking.
3- GPS and Satellite Tracking.
4- Cell-Phone Triangulation.
5. Radio Tracking …..
By adding a power source to a RFID tracker, you can greatly
increase the range its signal will travel.
A common use of this type of tracker is in the field of biology,
when scientists tag animals for the purpose of tracking their
behaviors or monitoring their health.
13. Fleet “vehicle” Tracking …..
Benefits …..
1. Preventing our vehicles from stolen.
2. Track our vehicle position on electronic maps using internet by using
geographical coordinates.
3. Share real time information about transportations.
4. Share real time information or position of trains and buses with passengers.
5. Means passengers can see the real time of arriving busses or trains at the
platforms on LCD or on Mobiles.
19. EPTS …..
(EPTS), which include camera-based and wearable technologies, are
used to control and improve player and team performance.
EPTS primarily track player (and ball) positions but can also be used in
combination with microelectromechanical devices (accelerometers,
gyroscopes, etc.) and heart-rate monitors as well as other devices to
measure load or physiological parameters.
22. Optical-based camera systems
Benefits
Non-invasive to players
Commonly used in the football market
High sampling rate, ball tracking possible
Limitations
Limited number of measurements
Tracking occlusions require manual corrections
Installation time
24. Local positioning systems (LPS)
Benefits
High number of measurements possible
Accuracy of measured data in real-time
Ultra-wise band technology reduces chances of
interferance in transmission path
Limitations
Fixed installation
Installation costs
Installation time
26. GPS/GNSS systems
Benefits
High number of measurements possible
Short installation time
Operator not needed
Limitations
Device attached to player and device size are issues
for matchday usage
Satellite signal line of sight in stadium
Accuracy concerns of measured data
Radio frequency identification, or RFID, uses small tags containing a microchip or transistor with encoded information and an antenna for receiving and sending signals. When the tag detects a signal on the proper frequency, it absorbs the energy and uses it to respond with the encoded information. This allows a scanner to identify a tagged item from a few feet away, and is a common form of inventory control. The antishoplifting tags on expensive merchandise are RFID trackers, designed to go off if they come near the scanning bars at the entrance and exit of a retail store
By adding a power source to a RFID tracker, you can greatly increase the range its signal will travel. These “active” trackers can respond to a wide-band scanning signal, or you can set them to go off periodically for long-term tracking purposes. A common use of this type of tracker is in the field of biology, when scientists tag animals for the purpose of tracking their behaviors or monitoring their health. This type of tracker is easy to implement, but it only provides a directional signal, requiring triangulation and estimation of the signal strength to provide a rough location of the device.
Here in this system we are using the GSM module for sending the coordinates of vehicle on mobile phone via message. GPS is sends the coordinates continuously in form of string. After reading this string using Arduino extract the required data from string and then sends it to mobile phone using GSM module via SMS. This information is called latitude and longitude. GPS used 3 or 4 satellite for tracking the location of any vehicle.
