Project Summary

This project is about the design and implementation of vehicle tracking system using GPS and IoT technology. It comprises of integration between a GPS receiver and a chip with microcontroller and built-in Wi-Fi technology and a mobile application to track the real time location of the vehicle. This combination of technologies will produce a tracking system. This project can be divided into two parts which are hardware and software development. The hardware development includes the GPS and its integration with IoT module. The software development includes development of the microcontroller’s source code, NMEA protocol command and a mobile application development.

Project Objectives

This system will track a particular vehicle i.e., university’s bus to track its real time navigation through a cell phone application. All students will have access to this app who travel through bus so that they can keep track of bus, its location and the amount of time it will take to reach its destination. Secondly, we will also define specific bus stops in that app. So, students will also get a notification that the bus has reached this particular stop and thus students waiting for bus at that location will be notified as well.

Project Implementation Method

Development of a C/C++ program for IoT module. Connection of the GPS module with IoT module for internet connectivity. GPS module will fetch real time coordinates (longitude, latitude) from satellite and send it on the cloud database. On the other hand, development of a mobile application, that app will fetch those coordinates from database and show the real time object location.

Benefits of the Project

• The main purpose for this project is to facilitate students
• To facilitate our institute’s administration
• To increase the probability for students not to miss the bus
• This project is an opportunity for us to apply skills and knowledge that we have accquired whilst studying at the Department.
• The project outcomes may serve as a showcase for our talents and could launch a professional career in industry/market.
• The project is worth 6 credit hours and a requirement for the final degree.
