vehicle owners. It becomes necessary to track vehicle when
it goes on road. It can meet with an accident or may be
some theft. No one can always call a driver but there are
chances that may get false information. Vehicle owners and
researchers always look for and are keen to install new and
improved security systems for vehicles. One of the latest
additions in security systems for vehicles is vehicle tracking
systems.

5.  Vehicle Tracking System is a value added service or Service provided
through a GPS Transponder device installed in a vehicle which
enables a vehicle owner or a third party to track the vehicle’s
movement and other activities while both in stationary and running
modes. The system is a convergence of an on board automotive
device, wireless Communication and global positioning system (GPS),
to track vehicles via digital mapping application and reporting
information system by using a web-interface, mobile phone and/or
computer network.
 This service can also be provided through Location Based Service
(LBS) on the mobile network’s ability to locate the geographical
position of the SIM/RUIM or mobile device without employing GPS.
 .

7. • Vehicle tracking systems are available in two types-
• Real time vehicle tracking : In case of real time
vehicle tracking anyone can see the live happenings
of the vehicle .
• Passive tracking : in passive reporting system it
records the details of the vehicle and can be
downloaded later.

14. Global Positioning System (GPS) is a worldwide
radio-navigation system formed from the
constellation of 24 satellites and their ground
stations.
A Vehicle Location Manager is installed on your vehicle
which collects and transmits tracking data via a cellular
or satellite network, whichever works best for your
operations. The device then delivers the data to the
Track Your hosted application, which you can access
through the Web at any time. Your will receive real-time
vehicle tracking updates, including location, direction,
speed, idle time, start/stop and more, allowing you to
manage a tighter schedule and more efficient fleet.

15.  Track Your Truck vehicle tracking features include real-
time mapping with automatic refresh, live tracking
from your mobile phone, and detailed truck activity
reports.
 Vehicle tracking relies both on the Global Positioning
satellites (GPS) and a cellular system. A tracking
module in the vehicle continuously picks up the GPS
coordinates that indicate the real-time location of the
vehicle. Using a cellular data service such as GPRS,
the coordinates are immediately transmitted to the
tracking company’s computers. Customers log in to
the tracking company’s web site to see their vehicles
on road maps, similar to in-dash and handheld GPS-
based navigation systems.

16.  The vtc has unspoken impact in our day to day life. It is one of
the most popular technological advancements all over the
world which has made our personal and professional life lot
easier.
 as the name suggests we can get the location of vehicle at any
time from any place.
 For example, by installing Grameen Phone tracking service, we
can get the updates of our vehicle after every 25 seconds.

17.  Vehicle tracking system has done wonders in
maintaining the security of vehicle.service is providing
24 hour protection to our vehicle. In case of
emergency we can block our engine at any time .

in the near future in Bangladesh which will
revolutionize the way we travel.

18.  System trouble:
When you forego maps for GPS, you may find yourself in a bind in certain
situations. For example, if you are in an area that can’t gain access to the
satellite, you must wait until you are within satellite range before you can get
directions.
 Invasion of privacy:
tracking system may affect the privacy of the driver or owner. For example,
tracker can use the information about staff who are perfectly honest and
hard working in order to fire them.
 Accuracy:
Over time, road names change and new roads appear. Because of this, your
GPS may provide incorrect directions.
 Expense :
Vehicle tracking devices can be expensive to install for a
particular class of person.
 These are the main disadvantages of the service.
