Cost Effective GPS-GPRS Based Object Tracking System - bibhuti1s - 08-16-2017 Cost Effective GPS-GPRS Based Object Tracking System [attachment=16477] I. INTRODUCTION A good number of tracking systems had so far been developed with a wide range of tracking facilities [1] [6]. But the operation cost of most of these systems is higher which prevents from widespread use. On the other hand, the rate of car theft, asset theft, child kidnapping in many countries are increasing at a higher rate [7]. The objective of this research is to reduce the cost of the tracking system using the latest technologies and making it available to the common people. II. SYSTEM OVERVIEW The system has two parts the tracking device and the database server as shown in Figure 1 below. The device is attached with the moving object and gets the position from GPS satellite in real-time. It then sends the position information with the International Mobile Equipment Identity (IMEI) number as its own identity to the server. II. HARDWARE SPECIFICATION We need a module which is compatible with 850MHZ/900MHz/1800MHz/190OMhz frequencies of cellular networks. Telit GM862-GPS GPS/GPRS is the module we have selected for this system shown in Fig 2. This device is capable of working in any GSM network around the world. VI. CONCLUSION This paper presents a low cost tracking system using GPS and GPRS of GSM network, suitable for wide range of applications all over the world. The combination of the GPS and GPRS provides continuous and real time tracking. The cost is much lower compared to SMS based tracking systems. Free Google map and the use of HTTP protocol as data sending method reduces the monthly bundle cost for the individual user and also for the small business owner. It is expected that the full implementation of the proposed system would ultimately replace the traditional and costly SMS based tracking systems. |
