ABSTRACT
The Rapid growth of technology and infrastructure has made our lives easier. The whole system allows the user's mobility to be
tracked using a mobile phone which is equipped with an internal GPS receiver and a GPRS transmitter. A mobile phone
application has been developed and deployed on an Android Phone whose responsibility is to track the GPS location and send it
to a remote location. 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. In this system client just send one message to the vehicle and the vehicle mobile will
send you the current location of your vehicle in the form of web link and user has to click on a link and that link goes to google
map and will show the current location of your vehicle.
Keywords: MobiTrack, Vehicle Track.
1. INTRODUCTION
In this paper, we describe the design of a proposed tracking system that is MobiTrack in this paper is designed to track
and monitor vehicle status that are used by certain party for particular purposes, this system is an integration of several
modern communication technologies. To provide location and time information anywhere on earth, Global Positioning
System (GPS) is commonly used as a space-based global navigation satellite system. The location information provided
by us GPS systems can be visualized using Google Earth technology. In wireless data transporting, Global System of
Mobile (GSM) and Short Message Service (SMS) technology is a common feature with all mobile network service
providers. of SMS technology has become popular because it is an inexpensive, convenient and accessible way of
transferring and receiving data with high reliability. As shown in figure (1), the proposed system consists of: in-vehicle
GPS receiver, GSM modems (stationary and in-vehicle), and embedded controller. The users of this application can
monitor the location graphically on Google Earth; they also can view other relevant information of each automobile in
the fleet.

The implemented tracking system can be used to monitor various parameters related to safety, emergency services and
engine stall. The paper shows an implementation of several modern technologies to achieve a desirable goal of fleet
monitoring and management.
A vehicle tracking system combines the installation of an electronic device in a vehicle, or fleet of vehicles, with
purpose-designed computer software at least at one operational base to enable the owner or a third party to track the
vehicle's location, collecting data in the process from the field and deliver it to the base of operation. Modern vehicle
tracking systems commonly use GPS or GLONASS technology for locating the vehicle, but other types of automatic

vehicle location technology can also be used. Vehicle information can be viewed on electronic maps via the Internet or
specialized software. In case of our software the device that we are going to use is an android phone and the vehicles
will be watched by an administrator using a web application.
2. RELATED WORK
In the hardware and software of the GPS and GSM network were developed. The proposed GPS/GSM based
System has the two parts, first is a mobile unit and another is controlling station. The system processes, interfaces,
connections, data transmission and reception of data among the mobile unit and control stations are working
successfully. These results are compatible with GPS technologies. In [2], a vehicle tracking system is an electronic
device, installed in a vehicle to enable the owner or a third party to track the vehicle's place. This paper proposed to
design a vehicle tracking system that works using GPS and GSM technology. This system built based on embedded
system, used for tracking and positioning of any vehicle by using Global Positioning System (GPS) and Global system
for mobile communication (GSM). This design will continuously watch a moving Vehicle and report the status of the
Vehicle on demand.
3. SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS
ANDROID (Automated Numeration of Data Realized by Optimized Image Detection) Android is an operating system
for mobile devices such as smart phones and tablet computers. It is developed by the Open Handset Alliance led by
Google.
3.1 Adt Plug-In For Eclipse
Android Development Tools (ADT) is a plug-in for the Eclipse IDE that is designed to give you a powerful, integrated
environment in which to build Android applications. ADT extends the capabilities of Eclipse to let you quickly set up
new Android projects, create an application UI, add components based on the Android Framework API, debug your
applications using the Android SDK tools, and even export signed (or unsigned) .apk files in order to distribute your
application. Developing in Eclipse with ADT is highly recommended and is the fastest way to get started. With the
guided project setup it.
3.2 Hardware Requirements
The minimum hardware requirements for this concept to operate functionally are Android Phone and Only Android
phone were used for the hardware requirements to develop the system. The GPS Module Shield is used to track and
locate the position of the car. GSM Module is for sending a warning message to the owner of the vehicle.
3.3 Software Requirements
The minimum software requirements for the concept to operate functionally is Eclipse. It is a tool for making
computers that can sense and controls more of the physical world than your desktop computer. Eclipse is a multi –
language software development environment comprising a base workspace and an extensible plug- in system
customizing the environment. It is written mostly in java.
4. PROPOSED WORK
4.1 GPS
These days most Android smart phone have AGPS chips installed. A GPS means Assisted GPS which takes the help of
network towers and WI-FI hot spots to quickly determine the location nearby and help the Android GPS enabled
Smartphone to get a lock with GPS satellites. Android smart phones with AGPS chips can also have a lock with GPS
satellites without the need of data plan or network but require clear sky view and some time to have a lock with GPS
satellites. Google Maps is a navigation system with maps which load on having an active data connection and usually
locate your device position with the help of network tower or WI-FI hot spots in which location is not that accurate. To
have a accurate position in Android there are two settings in My Locations one is to enable Use wireless networks
which is bit calculative and other is Use GPS satellites which requires more battery plus clear view of sky. So we can
say AGPS chips enabled or equipped Android smart phone have the accurate location position and use GPS satellites to
the fullest.
4.2 Calculating a Position
A GPS receiver calculates its position by a technique called satellite ranging, which involves measuring the distance
between the GPS receiver and the GPS satellites it is tracking. The range (the range a receiver calculates is actually a
pseudo range, or an estimate of range rather than a true range) or distance, is measured as elapsed transit time. The
position of each satellite is known, and the satellites transmit their positions as part of the "messages" they send via

radio waves. The GPS receiver on the ground is the unknown point, and must compute its position based on the
information it receives from the satellites.
4.3 Measuring Distance to Satellites
The first step in measuring the distance between the GPS receiver and a satellite requires measuring the time it takes
for the signal to travel from the satellite to the receiver. Once the receiver knows how much time has elapsed, it
multiplies the travel time of the signal times the speed of light (because the satellite signals travel at the speed of light,
approximately 186,000 miles per second) to compute the distance. Distance measurements to four satellites are required
to compute a 3-dimensional (latitude, longitude and altitude) position.
In order to measure the travel time of the satellite signal, the receiver has to know when the signal left the
satellite and when the signal reached the receiver. Knowing when the signal reaches the receiver iseasy, the GPS
receiver just "checks" its internal clock when the signal arrives to see what time it is. But how does it "know" when the
signal left the satellite? All GPS receivers are synchronized with the satellites so they generate the same digital code at
the same time. When the GPS receiver receives a code from a satellite, it can look back in its memory bank and
"remember" when it emitted the same code. This little "trick" allows the GPS receiver to determine when the signal left
the satellite

4.5 GSM
Android mobiles allow you to send and receive SMS messages. If you manage your phone through Windows PC, you
will able to send and receive messages via different business applications installed on your PC. The phone can be
managed by Ozeki NG SMS Gateway, which provides numerous connection opportunities for business applications.
Figure 21: GSM Working
Use either SI (MKS) or CGS as primary units. (SI units are strongly encouraged.) English units may be used as
secondary units (in parentheses). This applies to papers in data storage. For example, write “15 Gb/cm2 (100
Gb/in2).” An exception is when English units are used as identifiers in trade, such as “3½ in disk drive.” Avoid
combining SI and CGS units, such as current in amperes and magnetic field in oersteds. This often leads to confusion
because equations do not balance dimensionally. If you must use mixed units, clearly state the units for each quantity in
an equation.
The SI unit for magnetic field strength H is A/m. However, if you wish to use units of T, either refer to magnetic flux
density B or magnetic field strength symbolized as µ0H. Use the center dot to separate compound units, e.g., “A·m2.”
