Cloud Computing Based Vehicle Tracking Information Systems

Abstract

The development of satellite communication technology is easy to identify the vehicle locations. Vehicle tracking systems have brought this technology to the day-to-day life of the common man. Today GPS fitted cars; ambulances, fleets and police vehicles are common sights on the roads of developed countries. All the existing technology can support only tracking the vehicle place and status. No such tracking system implemented using centralized web service and cloud computing. The proposed technology based on GPS technology, GSM and cloud computing infrastructure. The vehicles are fitted with specialized embedded device, GPS device and GSM enabled device. The embedded device fitted with “sensors”. The sensors involve: i. To identify the fuel level/status. ii. Alcohol sensor – status of the driver. iii. To indentify current name of the location. iv. To find distance covered. v. To predict arrival time. This all stimulus data are transferred to cloud server through GSM enabled device. The GPS device used to track the vehicle locations. All the data’s are stored in centralized server which is maintained in cloud. Each licenced vehicle owner can access the cloud using web portal. From the web portal the user can retrieve all the real time data. Proposed system may allow for the stability, equilibrium, efficient resource use, and sustainability of a tracking system.
