1. GPS BASED TRACKING SYSTEM FOR THEFT VEHICLES
ABSTRACT
Technology achieves success only when it meets every stratum of people. Apart from
the various GPS tracking devices this paper introduces a first of its kind vehicle tracking
system that works only using GSM technology, which would be the cheapest source of
vehicle tracking anti-theft system. It is a small kit that consists of a GSM module and several
other components. The sys- tem can be switched ON by an SMS from the owner, which in
turn instructs the microcontroller to turn OFF the vehicle, receive in- formation about the
vehicle’s current location or more.
Once this is done, the microcontroller stimulates the GSM module to forward the
details of the nearest Base Station to the owner’s mobile via text message. The
microcontroller which receives the messages through the GSM module evaluates the time gap
between successive messages to determine the exact location of the vehicle in a given area.
The enviable advantage of this system is that it helps the owner in tracking the vehicle at a
greater pace, and reduces the complexities comparing other system, besides being a cheapest
alternative for anti-theft system as well.
This project uses regulated 5v, 750ma power supply. 7805 three terminal voltage
regulator is used for voltage regulation. Bridge type full wave rectifier is used to rectify the
ac output of secondary of 230/18v step down transformer.
