An Integrated Real-Time Vehicle Tracking And Alert System Using Gps, Gsm/Gprs Technologies With Smartphone Connectivity For Enhanced Transportation Management

Abstract

Pi-Based Embedded System for Real-Time Vehicle Monitoring and Control With the rapid advancement of technology, users increasingly prefer automated systems over manually operated ones. As the number of vehicles on the road grows, so does the frequency of accidents and vehicle thefts. Leveraging the convergence of multiple technologies, particularly the Internet of Things (IoT), it is now possible to remotely sense and control objects via the internet. The proposed Pi-based embedded system offers a comprehensive solution for vehicle monitoring, tracking, and control using mobile and computer devices. This system is especially beneficial for inter-city transportation, providing a telemonitoring platform for efficient oversight. For instance, in the event that an ambulance breaks down en route, the system can immediately alert nearby hospitals via SMS. Integrated with GPS technology, the system enables real-time location tracking and provides timely updates about vehicle movement and emergencies. The onboard vehicular module plays a crucial role in tracking, observing, and investigating accidents by identifying the precise location and notifying the central monitoring station. The Raspberry Pi serves as the core of this system, collecting data from various modules, processing it, and transmitting it to a monitoring center. The data is stored in a central database and displayed for real-time monitoring and analysis. This setup is particularly useful for emergency vehicles like ambulances, offering a reliable and responsive real-time tracking and alert mechanism.
