automatic vehicle monitoring system in university

Project Title

automatic vehicle monitoring system in university

Project Area of Specialization Electrical/Electronic EngineeringProject Summary

Vehicle Tracking systems are very commonly used in fleet management and asset tracking applications. Today these systems can not only track the location of the vehicle but can also report the speed and even control it remotely. In general, tracking of vehicles is a process in which we track the vehicle location in form of Latitude and Longitude (GPS coordinates). GPS Coordinates are the value of a location. This system is very efficient for outdoor application purposes. This kind of Vehicle Tracking System Project is widely in tracking Cabs/Taxis, stolen vehicles, school/college buses, etc.In this project, we are going one step ahead with GPS building a GSM and GPS based vehicle tracking system using Arduino. This Vehicle Tracking System can also be used to  track a vehicle using GPS and GSM and can also be used as Accident Detection Alert System, Soldier Tracking System and many more, by just making few changes in hardware and software.

Project Objectives

The objective is to have a system which is completely automated and that is in compliance with real-time. It avoids lot of manual work and brings transparency in the system thus avoiding sleaze in the current system

Project Implementation Method

It can be implememted where there is parking availabluty in any university campus, shopping malls and all other places

Benefits of the Project

• Productivity enhanced- more trips, capital savings due to the ability to better utilize vehicles, maintenance costs reduced and thus general reduction of cost per vehicle

• Better adherence to schedule, accuracy in monitoring and coordination

• More number of users and higher user loyalty

• Reduced need for supervisors and manual data entry

• Improved ability to control operations and driver performance

• Effective tracking of off-route vehicles

• Communications between drivers, supervisors, operators and other staff improves

• Lesser number of lost radio messages

• Capabilities to inform passengers of bus arrival times improve the quality of service and help the travelers to take better decisions

• Reduces complaints from customers and need for customer information personnel

• Improves overall image of the transit agency through these steps

• The data is more accurate and complete and thus the agency is able to schedule and plan better

• Can reduce preparation time for schedule as well as number of staff required

• Better bus stop placement

• Better security for driver as well as travelers by enabling faster location of vehicles and response to accidents

• Better operational decisions towards detours due to sudden developments like bad weather, roadway closings and accidents

Technical Details of Final Deliverable

In this project, Arduino is used for controlling whole the process with a GPS Receiver and GSM module. GPS Receiver is used for detecting coordinates of the vehicle, GSM module is used for sending the coordinates to user by SMS. And an optional 16x2 LCD is also used for displaying status messages or coordinates. We have used GPS Module SKG13BL and GSM Module SIM900A
