Literature Survey
The papers published in IEEE journals regarding vehicle position tracking system and its
implementation on Fpga has helped to develop this project by analyzing the defects and
using the effective ways from all resources available. The concept of the reference papers
and how it helped in designing this system is described in the following subsections
This project is referenced to the paper ?Design of vehicle position tracking system
using short message services and its implementation on fpga ,done by Arias Tanti
Hapsari , Eniman Y Syamsudin and, Imron Pramana. In this reference paper author
used .GPS module to receive the vehicular position and, short messaging service via
mobile phone' to receive user request and to send the vehicle's position. These
components are controlled by a system which is designed using VHDL on Altera
MAX plus I1 software, and it is implemented on FPGA chip Altera UPlX demo
board (Altera FLEX 10KEPF). In this way the author gets the position of the
vehicle and send it to any user who gives the request for tracking. The objective
of this project is to achieve a design of such system that can give information of
the vehicle position every time there's a request for it. Safety and security is a
major concern for all vehicle owners . This vehicle tracking system ensures safety
and security of vehicle by tracking its position and sending it to owner or any
people whenever it is requested by them. And also GPS system ensures maximum
accuracy in

9. nding the vehicular position ranging within few feet. Using the mobile
phone attached in the system ,the position of the vehicle is sent as short message
service?(SMS) to the requested people. The designed system is implemented on
Altera UPlX demo board. There are two testing and veri

10. cation procedures of this
system.[3]
Another paper referenced is? GPS-based Vehicle Tracking System-on-Chip. Mod-
ern powerful recon

11. gurable systems are suited in the implementation of various
data-stream, data parallel,and other applications . An application that needs real-
time, fast, and reliable data processing is the GPS-based vehicle tracking system
(VTS). This system is designed using a system-on-chip (SOC) replacement of the
current microcontroller(8051)-based implementation. The proposed SOC is built
on a

12. eld programmable gate array (FPGA) promising a cheaper design, a more
cohesive architecture, a faster processing time and an enhanced system interaction.
Recon

13. gurable systems enable extensive exploitation of computing resources. The
recon

14. guration of resources in different parallel topologies allows for a good match-
ing with the inherent intrinsic parallelism of an algorithm or a speci

15. c operation.

16. The introduction of a new paradigm in hardware design called Recon

17. gurable Com-
puting (RC) offers to solve any problem by changing the hardware con

18. gurations
to offer the performance of dedicated circuits. Recon

19. gurable computing enables
mapping software into hardware with the ability to recon

20. gure its connections to
re
ect thesoftware being run. The ability to completely reprogram the computer's
hardware implies that this new architecture provides immense scope for emulating
different computer architectures. As the complexity of FPGA-based designs grow,
a need for a more efficient and
exible design methodology is required. One of the
modern tools is Quartus II. It is a compiler, simulator, analyzer and synthesizer
with a great capability of veri

21. cation and is chosen to be used for this implemen-
tation. It consists of two main parts, the Base Station (BS) and the Mobile Unit
(MU). The BS consists of a PIC Microcontroller based hardware connected to the
serial port of a computer. The MU is a self-contained PIC Microcontroller based
hardware and a GPS module. 4 The latter would keep track of all the positions
traversed by the vehicle and records them in its memory. The system has a great
storage capacity, and could perform a signi

22. cant recording with a considerable sam-
pling rate. The mobile unit (MU) of the addressed Aram Locator consists of two
communicating microcontrollers interfaced with memory. There is also a GPS unit
and RF transceiver.[1]
Proposed Method:-
All these mentioned technology are cotly and take much more space compare to
our project. With the help of advancement in technology we are use the the Atmel
89c2051microcontroller to controlled system we can easily track any object or vehicle
which ensures safety for vehicle owners and also lots of uses for public transport
system..

Introduction
There is a drastic increase in the number of vehicles in these days which also cause a steep
rise in the number of theft. with a lot of people losing their personal asset . According to
the World Organization, an estimated 1.2 million people lose their asset every year due
to theft. This project is mainly used to track the position of the Vehicle by the owner or
can also be used in the public transportation system by the people to know the location
of the buses or trains. In case of any theft the system sends automated messages to the
pre-programmed numbers. We can send messages to any number of mobiles. The owner
of the vehicle, keep track of its vehicle This uses a GPS (Global Positioning System) to
know the exact position of the vehicle with an accuracy of a few feet. GSM is used to
receive SMS from the user and reply the position of the vehicle through a SMS. This
can also be used for other purposes such as asset tracking, Stolen Vehicle recovery, Fleet
management, Field Service Management, Field Sales etc. Industries not traditionally
known to use vehicle tracking systems have started to use it in creative ways to improve
their processes or businesses. The hospitality industry has caught on to this technology
twelcomeo improve customer service. For example, a luxury hotel in Singapore has been
known to install tracking system in their limousines to ensure they can their VIPS when
they reach the hotel. Vehicle tracking systems have also been used in food delivery and
car rental companies.

Circuit Diagram
3.1 Circuit Diagram
In the power supply section IC1 is 7805 , 5v regulator . 9 to 12 v one ampere dc is
input to the power supply .Capacitor c1 and c2 forms the

26. lter circuit. LD1 is a power
supply indication led. Restance R1 is a voltage dropping resistance since the output of
the regulator is 5v and led works on 3vdc. Our entire circuit works on 5v dc supply.
On the microprocessor AT 89C2051 CRYSTAL X1 is 11.059mhz crystal connected
to pin 2 and pin 3 of the microcontroller along with the capacitor c3 and capacitor c4
forms the clock frequency input to microcontroller.
These value is the recommendation of the microcontroller manufactures. Capacitor
c5 and resistor r2 forms the reset circuit of the microcontroller. We used at89c2051 mi-
crocontroller in our project since it is from the 8051 family of microcontroller .This is
small in size and only 20 pin package. It's current consumption is quite low compared
to it's big brother AT89c51 which has 4 ports with 40 pin package.AT89C2051 is 20 pin
package with only two ports port 1 and port3.
For other details on the microcontroller please refer accompanied data sheet. RS- 232
is max 232 ic with dual transreceiver, is used for level conversion Rs-232 was designed to
work on the pc so it's logic is at +12 and -12 v level It should be converted to TTL level to
be connected to microcontroller which works only on 5vdc. Capacitor C6,C7,C8,C8,C10.
Are associated components And are part of rs-232 conversion as given in manufacturer's
data sheet.
Both GPS and GSM modems are connected to this ic through 9pin DB9 connec-
tor .This microcontroller has only one serial port. Additional serial port is created by
software. Data from GPS is received through software serial port and data to gsm is
transmitted through the onboard hardware serial port. P3.0 is RX pin and P3.1 is TX
pin similarly P1.0 and P1.1 are RX and TX pins for software serial port.
On the display we have used 16 character , 2 line(16x2) text lcd.data from microcon-
troller is sent through its pins p1.4 to pin p1.7. Data is sent in nibble mode. Pin P1.2 is
connected to RS pin on the lcd and Pin P1.3 is connected to EN pin on to lcd. Variable
resistance V1 is contrast control resistance.

GPS receiver works on 9600 baud rate is used to receive the data from space Seg-
ment (from Satellites), the GPS values of different Satellites are sent to microcontroller
AT89c2051, where these are processed and forwarded to GSM. At the time of processing
GPS receives only GPGGA values . From these values microcontroller takes only latitude
and longitude values excluding time, altitude, name of the satellite, authentication etc.
Global system for mobile communication (GSM) works on 9600 baud rate.
The power is supplied to components like GSM, GPS and Micro control circuitry
using a 12V/3.2A battery .GSM requires 12v,GPS and microcontroller requires 5v .with
the help of regulators we regulate the power between three components..
