information from the satellites and GPRS modem; mod em; placed in vehicle system,. The GPRS modem, which is present in the vehicle, will continuously send location information into a web-link.
GPS is the acronym for Global Positioning System. It is empl employ oyed ed to find find the the posi posittion, ion, velo veloci city ty,, time time of anything anything located located on the earth. This information information is provided by the GPS receiver with the help of the data it receives from the satellites.
Micro controller forms the controlling module and it is the heart of the device. The controller performs the functionality of receiving data from the GPS. The microcontroller is programmed in such a way that the data
from GPS receiver is processed and continuously sent through GPRS modem. The data is uploaded to a predefined web-link through a GPRS modem interfaced to the Microcontroller. The received data is tracked on the Google Earth application in the PC. A line driver MAX232 is used to

Goo-Tracking Server A commodity personal computer running a Linux operating system with an open source software such as Apache web server, PHP, MySQL The server has three functions
Receive the information : By opens a non-blocking socket to receive data from multiple GPS Tracking Modules simultaneously Store information in a database : Formats the receiving data into our database Display the information : Search and formats data to be Background Global Positioning System (GPS) Technology Composed of a network of 24 satellites of the United States The satellites periodically emit radio signal of short pulses to GPS receivers A GPS receiver receives the signal from at least three satellites to calculate its position (latitude and longitude) Can also calculate an average speed and direction of traveling GPS is a key technology for giving device its position Background
The system architecture: GPS tracking and GSM modules The system has two main modules, as shown in figure (2). The first module is the tracking device which is attached to the moving automobile. This module composes of: a GPS receiver, Microcontroller and a GSM Modem. The GPS Receiver retrieves the location information from satellites in the form of latitude and longitude real-time readings. The Microcontroller has three main tasks: to read certain engine parameters from automobile data port (OBD-II), to processes the GPS information to extract desired values and to transmit this data to the server using GSM modem by SMS. The
chosen engine parameters are: RPM, engine coolant temperature, vehicle speed, percent throttle. The second module consists of a recipient GSM modem and workstation PC. The modem receives the SMS that includes GPS coordinates and engine parameters. This text is processed using a Visual Basic program to obtain the numeric parameters, which are saved as a Microsoft Office Excel file. The received reading of the GPS is further corrected by Kalman filter. To transfer this information to Google Earth, the Excel file is converted to KML (Keyhole Markup Language) format. Google Earth interprets KML fileandshows automobile’s location and International Journal of Computer Science & Information Technology (IJCSIT) Vol 3, No 6, Dec 201177 engine parameters on the map. The system’s efficiency is dependable on the sufficiency of the used communication network. An additional setting could be implemented to interface the system to the car’s alarm to alert the owner on his cell phone if the alarm is set off. The automobile’s airbag system can also be wired to this system to report severe accidents to immediately alert the police and ambulance service with the location of the accident. Figure 2. The system architecture: GPS tracking and GSM modules. 4. Hardware specification
The tracking unit, as shown in figure (3), consists of two main inputs: The first received input is the GPS output, which has a sentence based on NMEA 0183 standard. The other input is obtained by the automobile data port, typically called ON Board Diagnostics port, version II (OBD-II). The unit sends an SMS using Hayes command (AT Command).
Schematic diagram of in-vehicle tracking unit.
On-Board Diagnostics port (OBD-II) is a universal automotive protocol supported by modern automobiles To retrieve diagnostic errors over a Controller Area Network (CAN) bus of the microcontroller (MCU) [11].The used GSM module is of type SIM900D, this module supports standard AT command and compatible with several GSM networks. Transmission parameters are set to: Baud rate is set at 19200 bps, the data is 8N1 format, and flow control is set to none. For this study, we chose certain parameters to show the status of the engine: RPM, engine coolant temperature, vehicle speed and percent throttle
