This document provides information about a vehicle tracking system project developed by students using ARM7 microcontroller, GPS and GSM modules. The system tracks vehicle location using GPS and sends it via GSM to a monitoring station. Key components include a GPS module to get location, GSM modem to send data, ARM7 microcontroller to process data, and MAX232 for logic level conversion during serial communication. The location is also displayed on an LCD. The system was tested and able to retrieve vehicle position from GPS and send it via GSM. Future work includes reducing costs and adding features like speed tracking, fuel monitoring and group tracking.

5. INTRODUCTION
 Vehicle tracking system
is software and hardware
system enabling the
vehicle owner to track
the position of their
vehicle.
 VTS module is attached
to each vehicle.

6. NEED OF VTS
 Fuel and Power Saving
 Effective Fleet Control
 Instantaneous Fuel Level Monitoring
 Decreasing the Accident Risk
 Driver and Load Security
 Evaluation of Drivers Performance
 Monitoring the Delivery Time

7. TECHNOLOGY USED FOR VTS
 Instantaneous Location Targeting
• Positioning with the help of GPS Satellite
 Acknowledging the Position
• via GSM, SMS or Data Line
 Monitoring the Vehicle Online
• Tracking the position of the vehicle on digital maps via an
online monitoring program

8. MODULES
 HARDWARE
 SOFTWARE

9. HARDWARE
• GPS Modem: (NAVISYS GM 330D)
• Micro controller: LPC2129(Philips)
• GSM Modem: Standard GSM modem (SIM
300)
• Sim Card: Standard 16k Gsm sim

10. SOFTWARE
• Ide : KEIL MICRO-VISION-4
• Tool chains: STANDARD- ARM
COMPILER/DEBUGGER
• Programming language: EMBEDDED –C
• Protocols : UART, I2C, NMEA

13. PROJECT FLOW…..
GPS MODULE

15. PROJECT FLOW…..
GPS MODULE
• The NAVSTAR GPS is a collection of Satellites, which
monitors the Longitude and Longitudes of a particular
position.
• The Signal from the GPS satellites are received and the
receiver used a standard form of message decoding.
These standards are called as NMEA .

16. PROJECT FLOW…..
GPS MODULE
 A GPS signal contains three different bits of
information:
• Pseudorandom
• Ephemeris data
• Almanac data

17. PROJECT FLOW…..
GSM MODEM

19. PROJECT FLOW…..
GSM MODEM
• It’s require in VTS because GPS can normally only
receive location information from satellites but can not
communicate back with them.
• It Support instructions of AT commands.

20. PROJECT FLOW…..
ARM 7(LPC 2129)

22. PROJECT FLOW…..
ARM7(LPC 2129)
• The heart of this project is a micro controller
ARM7TDMI-S(LPC2129).
• Micro controller will play important role in sending and
receiving commands to GPS.
• Micro Controller extracts the location name and send the
same to the GSM via serial communication.

23. PROJECT FLOW…..
MAX 232

24. PROJECT FLOW…..
MAX 232
• MAX 232 is an dual driver/receiver.
• It’s Function is to convert TTL Logic level to RS232
logic level during serial communication of
microcontroller with PC.
RS 232 TTL LOGIC
-25V TO -3V +2V TO +5V HIGH
+3V TO +25V 0V TO 0.8V LOW

25. PROJECT FLOW…..
MAX 232
 We Required RS232 Because:
• TTL Logic level(0-5V)and
• RS 232 Standards (-25V to +25V)
• Hence it is difficult to establish a direct link.
• We go for an intermediate link i.e. MAX 232.

26. PROJECT FLOW…..
LCD

27. PROJECT FLOW…..
LCD (2X16)
• The data displayed on LCD is the latitude and longitude
of particular location where you keep the antenna of the
receiver. In this way a Particular Location is identified.

30. RESULT ANALYSIS

31. RESULT DISPLAYED ON LCD & MOBILE

32. RESULT DISPLAYED ON SERVER

33. DISADVANTAGES
• This system required static IP address to connect
to the device.
• It can’t measure vehicle fuel.
• It can’t do speed limit.
• It can’t handle group tracking at a time.

34. APPLICATIONS
• Buses and trains
• Position tracking
• Anti theft system
• Controlling vehicle

35. CONCLUSION
 In this semester we have made following programs based
on ARM7:
• LED Patterns
• Timer/Counter
• Serial
• LCD display

36. CONTINUE. . . .
 Studying the GPS, GSM, GPRS Architectures, features
etc.
 Studying the various hardware sections such as ARM 7
processor, LCD, MAX 232, GPS and GSM MODEM.
 Getting user friendly with the software.

37. FUTURE EXPANSION
 We will track the position of vehicles or we can send
information about vehicle to distant user on GOOGLE
MAP as well as we can show the running position of a
vehicle.
 The cost of on prototype of our project includes GSM
modem, which is quite high and can be reduced by
designing a GSM modem or by using any other optional
wireless medium to communicate with the base server.
