Here we are making a project which just traces our vehicle location, in terms of its precise latitude and longitude and then send it to a mobile number (as per our requirement). This project consists of three main devices which are :- (i) Arduino UNO, (ii) GPS module (Neo-6M), & (iii) GSM- 900A.These all three devices will be going to be installed in the vehicle to which we want to trace. Initially what happened that we make a program in arduino (in C language) regarding interfacing the GSM device and GPS device. And we also set a mobile number in the program as per our need, on which we get the info regarding its (vehicle’s) location. First of all we make a call to the mobile number which has been installed in the GSM module and then after some specific delay (as per mentioned in the program) we get a sms regarding the exact latitude and longitude of the vehicle. It is done in a way that GPS device is continuously receiving the location of the vehicle from the satellite and then transferring to the arduino board, from where we send it to the required mobile no. And hence in this way we can easily get info regarding the exact location of the vehicle. Once the message has been sent to the predefined mobile no. the GSM gets deactivated and the GPS gets activated. Thus we can easily trace our vehicle. Vehicle Tracking System (VTS) is the technology used to determine the location of a vehicle using different methods like GPS and other radio navigation systems operating through satellites and ground based stations. This system is an important tool for tracking each vehicle at a given period of time and now it is becoming increasingly popular for people having expensive cars and hence as theft prevention and retrieval device.

Real Time Vehicle Monitoring Using Raspberry Pi Albin George
An advanced vehicle monitoring and tracking system based on Embedded Linux Board and android application is designed and implemented for monitoring the school vehicle from any location A to location B at real time. The proposed system would make good use of new technology that based on Embedded Linux board namely Raspberry Pi and Smartphone android application. The proposed system works on GPS/GPRS/GSM SIM900A Module which includes all the three things namely GPS GPRS GSM. The GPS current location of the vehicle; GPRS sends the tracking information to the server and the GSM is used for sending alert message to vehicle’s owner mobile. The proposed system would place inside the vehicle whose position is to be determined on the web page and monitored at real time. In the proposed system, there is comparison between the current vehicle path and already specified path into the file system of raspberry pi. Here in the proposed system the already specified path inside the raspberry pi’s file system taken from vehicle owner’s android smartphone using android application. Means the selection of path from location A to B takes place from vehicle owner’s android application which gives more safety and secures traveling to the traveler. Hence the driver drives the vehicle only on the vehicle owner’s specified path. If the driver drives the vehicle on the wrong path then the alert message will be sent from the proposed system to the vehicle’s owner mobile and also speakers alert driven using Raspberry pi’s audio jack. If the vehicle’s speed goes beyond the specified value of the speed, then also the warning message will be sent from system to the owner mobile. The proposed system also took care of the traveler’s safety by using LPG Gas leakage sensor MQ6 and temperature sensor DS18B20.
In this project we are going to make an embedded system which will help to provide protection against theft. This system will send the data to the user who want to track the vehicle showing the using position of vehicle in terms of latitude and longitude. Most of the people know that GPS is more secure but they don’t apply because it is expensive. This design is needed for the real time location of the vehicle. It changes the microcontroller P89V51RD2 interfaces with various hardware peripheries this uncontrolled interfaces serially with GSM modem and GPS receiver.
This project is about tracking system that tracks vehicle using gps and gsm/gprs. Also, it displays information for user interface using web and mobile application.Beside that it displays information on lcd as a form of public notice board too.
This is used to track the exact location of a vehicle using GPS tracking systems and give information about the position to concerned person through GSM via SMS.

For college going students, employees of a company or for a common man, bus is the most comprehensive and affordable mode of transport. The use of bus for transport reduces private vehicle usage and thus reduces fuel consumption. It also curbs traffic congestion. The user usually wants to know the accurate arrival time of the bus. Long time waiting at the bus stops discourage the use of buses. Also many unpredictable factors delay the schedule of a bus like harsh weather situation, traffic conditions etc. Towards this aim of reducing this problem, we are proposing a project which will assist the bus travellers in predicting bus timings. The system described uses DriverSideApp, ClientSideApp and a server.
In this project, we propose an innovative method for predicting the bus information. No specific device is required for this purpose. Our sole objective is to build a application that will help student to access the current location of the bus. Moving forward our application focus on to providing them more convenience with bus schedules, bus location information so that they may not get delayed. . Further, the recent advent and popularity of Android technology motivates us to create an Android application for the same.
A GPS tracking system is a common way of getting real-time vehicle location data. GPS technology is often employed in modern car tracking systems, however other forms of autonomous vehicle location technologies can also be used. A GPS tracking system comprised of hardware, open-source software, a web server, and an easy-to-manage user interface via a web server with Google Map was presented. The goal of this project is to develop and build a hand-held wireless GPS tracking device that can be tracked remotely via the Internet. There are three parts to this research. A mobile device with GPS and a wireless Internet connection is the first component. Our hardware project, which contains an LCD, GPS, GSM, Arduino Uno, and sensor linked to service, is the second portion.
The paper describe a practical model for routing and tracking of mobile vehicles in a large area outdoor environment based on the Global positioning system (GPS) and Global system for mobile communication (GSM). The supporting device GPS continuously move with the car and will calculate the co-ordinates of each position and when required by the owner it can be communicated with the help of GSM modem which is installed in both Transmitter and receiver section. GSM modem is controlled by a 32 bit ARM7 LPC2148. The device will collect position to supervised center by the SMS (Short Message Service) or GPRS (General Package radio service) and which can be located in the Google Earth and so the current position of the car can be known.
A vehicle tracking system is very useful for tracking the movement of a vehicle from any location at any time. An efficient vehicle tracking system is designed and implemented for tracking the movement of any equipped vehicle from any location at any time. The proposed system made good use of popular technology that combines a smartphone with an Arduino UNO. This easy to make and inexpensive compared to others. The designed in vehicle device works using Global Positioning System GPS and Global System for Mobile Communication GSM technology that is one of the most common ways for vehicle tracking. The device is embedded inside a vehicle those positions is to be determined and tracked in real time. An Arduino UNO is used to control the GPS receiver and GSM module. The vehicle tracking system uses the GPS module to get geographic coordinates at regular time interval. The GSM module is used to transmit and update the vehicle location to a database. This paper gives minute by minute update about vehicle location by sending SMS through GSM modem. This SMS contain latitude and longitude of the location of vehicle. Arduino UNO gets the coordinates from GPS modem and then it sends this information to user in text SMS. GSM modem is used to send this information via SMS sent to the owner of the vehicle. Location is displayed on LCD. And then Google map displays location and name of the place on cell phone. Thus, user able to continuously monitor a moving vehicle on demand using smartphone and determine the estimated distance and time for the vehicle to arrive at a given destination.

Search and Society: Reimagining Information Access for Radical FuturesBhaskar Mitra
The field of Information retrieval (IR) is currently undergoing a transformative shift, at least partly due to the emerging applications of generative AI to information access. In this talk, we will deliberate on the sociotechnical implications of generative AI for information access. We will argue that there is both a critical necessity and an exciting opportunity for the IR community to re-center our research agendas on societal needs while dismantling the artificial separation between the work on fairness, accountability, transparency, and ethics in IR and the rest of IR research. Instead of adopting a reactionary strategy of trying to mitigate potential social harms from emerging technologies, the community should aim to proactively set the research agenda for the kinds of systems we should build inspired by diverse explicitly stated sociotechnical imaginaries. The sociotechnical imaginaries that underpin the design and development of information access technologies needs to be explicitly articulated, and we need to develop theories of change in context of these diverse perspectives. Our guiding future imaginaries must be informed by other academic fields, such as democratic theory and critical theory, and should be co-developed with social science scholars, legal scholars, civil rights and social justice activists, and artists, among others.

"Impact of front-end architecture on development cost", Viktor TurskyiFwdays
I have heard many times that architecture is not important for the front-end. Also, many times I have seen how developers implement features on the front-end just following the standard rules for a framework and think that this is enough to successfully launch the project, and then the project fails. How to prevent this and what approach to choose? I have launched dozens of complex projects and during the talk we will analyze which approaches have worked for me and which have not.
Epistemic Interaction - tuning interfaces to provide information for AI supportAlan Dix
Paper presented at SYNERGY workshop at AVI 2024, Genoa, Italy. 3rd June 2024
https://alandix.com/academic/papers/synergy2024-epistemic/
As machine learning integrates deeper into human-computer interactions, the concept of epistemic interaction emerges, aiming to refine these interactions to enhance system adaptability. This approach encourages minor, intentional adjustments in user behaviour to enrich the data available for system learning. This paper introduces epistemic interaction within the context of human-system communication, illustrating how deliberate interaction design can improve system understanding and adaptation. Through concrete examples, we demonstrate the potential of epistemic interaction to significantly advance human-computer interaction by leveraging intuitive human communication strategies to inform system design and functionality, offering a novel pathway for enriching user-system engagements.

Effective Application Security in Software Delivery lifecycle using Deployment Firewall and DBOM
The modern software delivery process (or the CI/CD process) includes many tools, distributed teams, open-source code, and cloud platforms. Constant focus on speed to release software to market, along with the traditional slow and manual security checks has caused gaps in continuous security as an important piece in the software supply chain. Today organizations feel more susceptible to external and internal cyber threats due to the vast attack surface in their applications supply chain and the lack of end-to-end governance and risk management.
The software team must secure its software delivery process to avoid vulnerability and security breaches. This needs to be achieved with existing tool chains and without extensive rework of the delivery processes. This talk will present strategies and techniques for providing visibility into the true risk of the existing vulnerabilities, preventing the introduction of security issues in the software, resolving vulnerabilities in production environments quickly, and capturing the deployment bill of materials (DBOM).

1. INTRODUCTION
In this urban life transportation is very common. A lot of mishappenings occur on the road every
day .Therefore the need of security and monitoring is developed. To resolve such problems, a
system is developed using GPS and GSM technologies and an application is introduced in this
research work.
Various problems that we face:
1. In critical condition (when vehicle is stolen), one is confused what to do
2. If one has something expensive and he wants to check it regularly
3. To find the shortest path available
All these problems are overcome by the system.
This system has Global Positioning System (GPS) which will receive the coordinates from the
satellites among other critical information. Tracking system is very important in modern world.
This can be useful in soldier monitoring, tracking of the theft vehicle and various other
applications. The system is microcontroller based that consists of a global positioning system
(GPS) and global system for mobile communication (GSM). This project uses only one GPS
device and a two way communication process is achieved using a GSM modem. GSM modem,
provided with a SIM card uses the same communication process as we are using in regular phone.

The system is not limited to find the location of the target but also calculates the distance
travelled b/w two stations.
This system is user friendly, easily installable, easily accessible and can be used for various other
purposes. After installation system will locate target by the use of a Web application (HTML
based application) in Google map. The system allows to track the target anytime and anywhere in
any weather conditions.
2. LITERATURE SURVEY
Real-time tracking and management of vehicles has been a field of interest for many researchers
and a lot of research work has been done for tracking system. Recently the various anti-theft
modules like steering wheel locked equipment, network tracking system and traditional electronic
alarm are developed along with client identification and real time performance monitoring.
The paper presented by El-Medany, W.; Al-Omary et al describes a real time tracking system that
provides accurate localizations of the tracked vehicle with low cost. GM862 cellular quad band
module is used for implementation. A monitoring server and a graphical user interface on a
website is also developed using Microsoft SQL Server 2003 and ASP.net to view the proper
location of a vehicle on a specific map. The paper also provides information regarding the vehicle
status such as speed, mileage. [1]
Hu Jian-ming; Li Jie; Li Guang-Hui describes an automobile anti-theft system using GSM and
GPS module. The system is developed using high speed mixed type single-chip C8051F120 and
stolen automobile is detected by the use of vibration sensor. The system remains in contact with
automobile owner through the GSM module, for the safety and reliability of automobile. [2]
Fleischer, P.B.; Nelson et al describes development and deployment of GPS (Global Positioning
System)/GSM (Global System for Mobile Communications) based Vehicle Tracking and Alert
System. This system allows inter-city transport companies to track their vehicles in real-time and
provides security from armed robbery and accident occurrences. [4]
Le-Tien, T.; Vu Phung describes a system based on the Global Positioning System (GPS) and
Global System for Mobile Communication (GSM). It describes the practical model for routing
and tracking with mobile vehicle in a large area outdoor environment .The system includes the
Compass sensor-YAS529 of Yamaha Company and Accelerator sensor-KXSC72050 of Koinix
Company to acquire moving direction of a vehicle. The system will acquire positions of the
vehicle via GPS receiver and then sends the data to supervised center by the SMS (Short Message
Services) or GPRS (General Package Radio Service) service. The supervised center comprises of
a development kit that supports GSM techniques-WMP100 of the Wavecom Company. Finally,
the position of the mobile vehicle will be displayed on Google Map. [5]

4. HARDWARE DESIGN
Figure 3.Hardware design
In this we are using a 40 pin ATmega16 microcontroller. It has four input–output ports.
ATmega16 microcontroller is the heart of the project that is used for interfacing. Two pins are
VCC pins and other two pins are at ground. Pin 9 is reset pin. A crystal oscillator of 12 MHz is
connected to the microcontroller. RS-232 protocol is used as serial communication between the
microcontroller, GPS and GSM modem. A serial driver MAX232, 16 pin IC is used for
converting RS-232 voltage levels into TTL voltage levels. There are four electrolytic capacitors
which are used with MAX232. A 9V battery is used to power the circuit. A 7805 regulator is used
to convert 9V into 5V. The microcontroller and MAX232 are powered by 5V. LED indicates the
presence of power supply.
5. SOFTWARE PROGRAM
The software programming is done in ‘C ‘language. Data (co-ordinates) received by GPS from
the satellites is defined in the software. Decoding the NMEA (National Marine Electronics
Association) protocol is the main purpose of developing this software. The mobile number of the
user should be included in the software programming in order to receive the location values from
the SIM card which we are using in GSM modem. The NMEA protocol consists of set of
messages. These messages are ASCII character set. GPS receives data and present it in the form
of ASCII comma – delimited message strings. ‘$’ sign is used at the starting of each message.
The locations (latitude and longitude) have the format of ddmm.mmmm. i.e. .degrees minutes and
decimal minutes. The software protocol consists of the GGA (global positioning system fixed

The web application named as ‘Tracking System’ is shown in figures that represents the complete
output of the system. In this system two applications are developed that are linked to each other.
First one is used to get the initial position of the vehicle (starting point) and as system will receive
the different co-ordinates (longitude and latitude) switching to the next one will be done to get the
distance travelled b/w the two positions. The application will run on WAMP server and will run
only if the internet is in use. WAMP server homepage is shown in diagram.

6.1 Various features of web Application are:
Both the applications are user friendly .i.e. new users can be easily comfortable.
Since the applications are HTML based user can easily modify according to his
requirements
Gives the exact location of the target.
The applications also alerts about the distance travelled by the target and also the
routes that are possible to reach to the target.
Figure 6.System Application 1
Figure 6 shows the first application where location will be found .As shown in figure by clicking
on the ‘next’ button will open up next page, where the route and the distance travelled will be
found. And by clicking on the ‘Back’ button will open up first one (page) as suggested in the fig.
7.Both the applications are HTML based. PHP is also used for some modifications.

7. CONCLUSION AND FUTURE SCOPE
The project is all about controlling theft of a vehicle. The system is about making vehicle more
secure by the use of GPS, GSM technology and a web application. The simulation is done by
PROTEUS software. It can also be beneficial for:
1. Parents to look after their children.
2. To track animals in jungles
3. Delivery services
4. Cops department and fire services
This project can be further enhanced by the use of camera and by developing a mobile based
application to get the real time view of the vehicle instead to check it on PC, which would be
more convenient for the user to track the target.
