location of a vehicle, person, or other asset to which it is attached and to record the position of
the asset at regular intervals. The recorded location data can be stored within the tracking unit,
or it may be transmitted to a central location data base, or internet-connected computer, using
a cellular (GPRS).This allows the asset's location to be displayed against a map backdrop either
in real-time or when analyzing the track later, using customized software.The prevention of the
vehicle from probable theft is the main aim of the project. To achieve this we are incorporating
security by including biometrics, i.e a fingerprint. In the beginning the owner of the vehicle
must store his/her own fingerprint in the finger print module. The GSM modem is used to send
and receive messages to and from the owner. The owner’s mobile number has to be set fixed
during the coding. To start the ignition of the four-wheeler one should enter the authorized
fingerprint. If anyone enters an unregistered fingerprint, the owner will immediately receive a
message and the local alarm system will be turned on. For theft prevention, we can also trace
the four-wheeler by giving a call to the GSM modemwhich is embedded on the system. Then
real time tracking begins and the GPS location of the vehicle is sent to the owner by SMS. The
ignition of the vehicle can also be controller through notifications to the system. The vehicle
tracking system consists of a GPS receiver which provides real time position of the automobile.
This real time data is deposited in MMC(Main Memory Module) after a set time of intermission
by the MCU(Main Control Unit). GSM module is undoubtedly associated with the MCU which
is then used to propel and receive the SMS. GSM module takes the information from the MMC
and sends this information to the registered user’s mobile cell phone. This data consists of
longitude, latitude, altitude, the speed over ground, and the course over ground, the real time
and date. By using Google maps we can then locate the exact location of vehicle. The vehicle
tracking system also has another singular feature which tells not only the whereabouts of
vehicle but also securing the automobile. To know the location of the automobile, it is necessary
to stop the automobile as soon as possible. For repossessing the automobile, we are using to
convey the message in such a way they are allied to the buzzer and other is associated to the
power supply of the engine of automobile. User can simply deactivate the engine of automobile
by sending a message from his cell phone and we can get the automobile back very
soon.Passwords are the weakest component of many important security systems, so there is an
interrelated push from various directions towards passwords with less friable security
measures. The main emphasis while developing this vehicles anti-theft system was to assimilate
the above features equally. The most significant feature is the vehicle security from theft and it
has been guaranteed by providing certain layers of anti-theft protection.
