This project outlines a vehicle tracking system designed to enhance security through GPS technology. It features a remote tracking server that communicates with an in-vehicle unit via GSM/GPRS to send real-time vehicle information to the owner in case of theft. The system aims to provide prompt alerts to car owners, enabling them to take appropriate action against auto theft.

1. Vehicle Tracking System Design and Implementation
Using GPS
Objective:
This project describes on how to provide security to vehicles using GPS. A remote
tracking server and real time vehicular tracking system were installed in the vehicle for
easy tracking of vehicle. Information about the vehicle will transfer to actual tracking
server by making use of GSMGPRS modem on GSM network by sending a SMS or
transfer the data to tracking server via GPRS using direct TCPIP connection. Tracking
server also has GSM/GPRS modem which receives vehicle information through GSM
network and placed the same information in a database. This vehicle security system,
which installed in the car helps to reduce the auto theft.
Overview:
Vehicle Security system is required during auto theft. So, whenever an intrusion occurs,
owner of the car will get intimation through SMS with the help of this security system.
The SMS alerts car owner who can take further action by intimating the same to cops.
Objectives of this project are developing automatic vehicle location system using GPS
for alerting the car owner by providing the vehicle information to the car owner. Vehicle
current location will be detected with the help of vibration sensors and Ultrasonic sensors
by making use of In-vehicle unit which installed in the vehicle. When vehicle information
is extracted by In-vehicle unit it has to reach tracking server then the same will display to
the vehicle owner through SMS. GSM modem is required to transmit data to tracking
server over GSM network.

2. Software Requirement
1. Visual Studio .Net Framework
2. C#. Net
3. SQL Server
Hardware Requirement
1. GPU – Global Positioning Unit
2. Microcontroller
3. RS-232 Interface
Conclusion:
To track vehicle location when it is auto theft then both in-vehicle unit and a tracking
server are used. The vehicle information transmits to tracking server using GSM modem
over GSM network. Tracking server has one GSM modem to receive the vehicle
information over GSM network and stores the same in database. This data will display to
the vehicle owner via SMS.
