VEHICLE TRACKING SYSTEM

Vehicle tracking system is a miniature model of Global Positioning

System(GPS). GPS is to find out the position or location of the vehicle around the
world. To implement a GPS we need link with satellite. Due to this problem we
planned to implement a miniature model of GPS
To implement miniature model we are going to implement a single
chip microcontroller in the vehicle. That vehicle may be a two wheeler or four
wheeler with a battery connection.
Two sensors will be fixed in the vehicle to monitor speed and
division of the vehicle. With the help of the speed we can calculate the distance
with respect to time. The direction and the distance are fed into the microcontroller
and that will be transmitted to pc through digital modulation techniques.
At the receiver end the signal will be detected and demodulated with
digital demodulation technique. Then the signal will be given to PC.
The microcontroller which we are going to use is AT89C51 or
PIC16F877. It is manufactured by ATMEL INC., and MICROCHIP INC., USA. This
microcontroller is an advanced version of microcontrollers. The advantage of using this
microcontroller is it has inbuilt UART (Universal Asynchronous receiver & transmitter).
The advantage of using digital transmission is
Data communication can be defined as the exchange of data in the form of
0’s and 1’s between two devices using a transmission medium. Data communication
takes place when the communicating devices are part of a communication system that is
made up of a combination of hardware and software. Data communication via various
electronic devices helps us to transmit data at high speeds over large areas. Information
may be passed on to various destinations, thus reducing the need to type in the same data
over and over.
