17. 3.1. Vehicle Tracking System
Initialize the UART:
UART0 (GPS @ 4800bps) and UART1
(GSM @ 9600bps)
Initialize GSM module using AT command
and
establish a secure GPRS connection
Retrieve data from GPS ($GPRMC format)
Send the GPS data to the Server using
GPRS connection until the status of OK
“200” is confirmed
In case of error, repeat from step 2.

18. 3.2.Route Displaying Notice Board
Connect to the Server
through GSM module via
GPRS connection
Download the GPS data
stored in the Server.
Display the current
Location on LCD according
to the data received

27. 4.5 Problem Faced and Solved
 The GPS module returned garbage data in initial days
-solved by frequent powering gps module.
 Connecting to the Server through GPRS due to network
errors.
-solved by placing module to open area
 Frequent Failure Connecting to database (@webhost.com)
- solved by moving database to Windows 8
Azure cloud.
 Uncomplete data display at LCD (sometimes)
- by reseting microcontroller

28. 4.6 limitation
 Android application has to be refreshed each time as it
receives new data from the server.
 Due to network problem, people might face problem
on their internet access due to which this service may
get halt.
28 9/22/2014

29. 4.7 Scope and Future Enhancement
Notice board with audio speakers for visually
impaired and uneducated people.
 Departed and Arrival time can be displayed at
station.
 Improvement in Android Application for
continuous data refreshing.
