ABSTRACT

Currently almost of the public having an own vehicle, theft is happening on parking and sometimes driving
insecurity places. The safe 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 identified using Global
Positioning system (GPS) and Global system mobile communication (GSM).
These systems constantly watch a moving Vehicle and report the status on demand. When the theft identified, the
responsible person send 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
project also indicates speed of vehicle which can be calculated by using distance and time. This is more secured,
reliable and low cost.

KEYWORDS: Vehicle Tracking, Fuel and Speed indicator, GSM and GPS

INTRODUCTION

In the last few decades, India has progressed at such an enormous rate that many companies have strongly
established themselves here. These companies bring a huge amount of workforce with them. Arranging
transportation to such a huge mass is a cumbersome task involving many intricacies. Generally, this transport is
arranged through the local transport vendors on a yearly contract basis, recently happen mishaps such as burglary,
rape cases etc. The development of satellite communication technology is easy to identify the vehicle locations.
Vehicle tracking systems have brought this technology to the day-to-day life of the common person. Today GPS
used in carsambulances; fleets and police vehicles are common sights on the roads of developed countries. All the
existing technology support tracking the vehicle place and status
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. This system designed for users in land construction and transport
business, provides real-time information such as location, speed and expected arrival time of the user is moving
vehicles in a concise and easy-to-read format. This system may also useful for communication process among the
two points.
Currently GPS vehicle tracking ensures their safety as travelling. This vehicle tracking system found in clients
vehicles as a theft prevention and rescue device. Vehicle owner or Police follow the signal emitted by the tracking
system to locate a robbed vehicle in parallel the stolen vehicle engine speed going to decreased and pushed to off.
After switch of the engine, motor cannot restart without permission of password. This system installed for the four
wheelers,
Vehicle tracking usually used in navy operators for navy management functions, routing, send off, on board
information and security. The applications include monitoring driving performance of a parent with a teen driver.
Vehicle tracking systems accepted in consumer vehicles as a theft prevention and retrieval device. If the theft
identified, the system sends the SMS to the vehicle owner. After that vehicle owner sends the SMS to the controller,

issue the necessary signals to stop the motor. In this proposed work, a novel method of vehicle tracking and locking
system used to track the theft vehicle by using GPS and GSM technology.
This system puts into sleeping mode while the vehicle handled by the owner or authorized person otherwise goes to
active mode, the mode of operation changed by in person or remotely. If any interruption occurred in any side of the
door, then the IR sensor senses the signals and SMS sends to the microcontroller. The controller issues the message
about the place of the vehicle to the car owner or authorized person. When send SMS to the controller, issues the
control signals to the engine motor. Engine motor speeds are gradually decreases and come to the off place. After
that all the doors locked. To open the door or restart the engine, authorized person needs to enter the passwords. In
this method, tracking of vehicle place easy and doors locked automatically, thereby thief cannot get away from the
car.

KunalMaurya, Mandeep Singh, Neelu Jain [3] Face Detection System used to detect the face of the driver, and
compare with the predefined face. The car owner is sleeping during the night time and someone theft the car. Then
Face Detection System obtains images by one tiny web camera, which is hidden easily in somewhere in the car. Face
Detection System compared the obtained images with the stored images. If the images don't match, then the
information sends to the owner through MMS. The owners get the images of the thief in mobile phone and trace the
place through GPS. The place of the car and its speed displayed to the owner through SMS. The owner can recognize
the thief images as well as the place of the car and can easily find out the hijackers image. This system applied in our
day-to-day life.

GPS TECHNOLOGY

The Global Positioning System (GPS) is a satellite-based navigation system consists of a network of 24 satellites
located into orbit. The system provides essential information to military, civil and commercial users around the
world and which is freely accessible to anyone with a GPS receiver. GPS works in any weather circumstances at
anywhere in the world. Normally no subscription fees or system charges to utilize GPS. A GPS receiver must be
locked on to the signal of at least three satellites to estimate 2D position (latitude and longitude) and track
movement. With four or more satellites in sight, the receiver can determine the user's 3D position (latitude,
longitude and altitude). Once the vehicle position has been determined, the GPS unit can determine other
information like, speed, distance to destination, time and other. GPS receiver is used for this research work to detect
the vehicle location and provide information to responsible person through GSM technology.

DESIGN OF TRACKING SYSTEM

In this Paper it is proposed to design an embedded system which is used for tracking and positioning of any vehicle
by using Global Positioning System (GPS) and Global system for mobile communication (GSM). In this Device
AT89s51 microcontroller is used for interfacing to various hardware peripherals. The current design is an embedded
application, which will continuously monitor a moving Vehicle and report the status of the Vehicle on demand. For
doing so an AT89C51 microcontroller is interfaced serially to a GSM Modem and GPS Receiver. A GSM modem is
used to send the position (Latitude and Longitude) of the vehicle from a remote place. The GPS modem will
continuously give the data i.e. the latitude and longitude indicating the position of the vehicle. The GPS modem
gives many parameters as the output, but only the NMEA data coming out and sent to the mobile at the other end
from where the position of the vehicle is demanded. When the request by user is sent to the number at the modem,
the system automatically sends a return reply to that mobile indicating the position of the vehicle in terms of latitude
and longitude. The project is vehicle positioning and navigation system we can locate the vehicle around the globe
with micro controller, GPS receiver, GSM modem. Microcontroller used is AT89C51. The code is written in the
internal memory of Microcontroller i.e. ROM. With help of instruction set it processes the instructions and it acts as
interface between GSM and GPS with help of serial communication of AT89s51. GPS always transmits the data and
GSM transmits and receive the data.
In this study, the disc brake materials taken under study are Gray cast iron, Structural steel ,Aluminum and High-
speed steel(HSS). These materials are investigated in order to find the possible consequences of wear and friction.
The diameter and the length of the pins are 10 mm and 30 mm respectively. For the same surface conditions, the top
surfaces of each pin are finished with abrasive paper. The wear rate will be relatively small in most of the machinery
and engineering tool. For measuring wear, we are using some apparatus and instruments which give results about the
wear rate in the tools and machinery.
One or more sensors connected to one or more fuel tanks that indicate current fuel level(s) in the tank(s).theft of fuel
from stationary tanks and transport tankers is on the rise. To help reduce losses, costs, delays and damage to
reputation, more and more companies are looking for solutions to monitor fuel levels during both storage and
transportation. A real-time remote fuel-level monitoring solution is an option for managers who need to know
exactly when and where fuel losses are occurring. In addition to notification of a sudden change in fuel level, a well-

A software simulator is a computer program running on an independent hardware and it simulates the CPU, the
instruction set and the I/O of the target microcontroller. Simulators offer the lowest-cost development tools for
microcontroller-based systems and most companies offer their simulator programs free of charge. The user program
operated in a simulated environment where the user can insert breakpoints within the code to stop the code and then
analyse the internal registers and memory, display and change the values of program variables and so on.

CONCLUSION

In this paper, we have proposed a novel method of vehicle tracking and locking systems used to track the theft
vehicle by using GPS and GSM technology. This system puts into the sleeping mode vehicle handled by the owner
or authorized persons; otherwise goes to active mode. The mode of operations changed by persons or remotely.
When the theft identified, the responsible people send SMS to the micro controller, then issue the control signals to
stop the engine motor. After that all the doors locked. To open the doors or to restart the engine authorized person
needs to enter the passwords. In this method, easily track the vehicle place and doors locked. In our project the
security system is based on embedded control which provides security against theft. The GSM modem provides
information to the user on his request. The owner can access the position of the vehicle at any instant. He sends a
message in order to lock the vehicle. The GPS receiver on the kit will locate the latitude and longitude of the vehicle
using the satellite service.
