The GPS/GSM Based System is one of the most important systems, which
integrate both GSM and GPS technologies. It is necessary due to the many of
applications of both GSM and GPS systems and the wide usage of them by millions
of people throughout the world. Vehicle theft is happening on parking and
sometimes driving at insecure places. The security of vehicles is extremely
essential for public vehicles. Vehicle tracking and locking system installed in
the vehicle, to track the place and locking engine motor. The place of the
vehicle is identified using Global Positioning system (GPS) and Global system
mobile communication (GSM) is used to send or receive SMS by owner. These
systems constantly watch a moving Vehicle and report the status on demand. When
the theft identified, the responsible person sends SMS to the microcontroller,
then microcontroller issue the control signals to stop the engine motor.
Authorized person need to send the password to controller to restart the
vehicle and open the door. This is more secured, reliable and low cost. GPS
unit can determine other information like, speed, distance to destination, time
and other. GPS receiver is used to detect the vehicle location and provide
information (longitude & latitude) co-ordinates to responsible person
through GSM technology.
