A Cost Effective Real-Time Tracking System Prototype Using Integrated GPS/GPRS Module

Abstract

This paper presents a real time tracking system that provides accurate localizations of the tracked vehicle with low cost. The system is implemented using GM862 cellular quad band module. A monitoring server and a graphical user interface on a website have also been implemented using Microsoft SQL Server 2003 and ASP.net to view the current location of a vehicle on a specific map. The system provides information regarding the vehicle status such as speed, mileage. The prototype has been tested experimentally and the results are analyzed and discussed. The experiments are conducted in different areas on Kingdom Of Bahrain using Google maps.
