Routing and Tracking System for Mobile Vehicles in Large Area

Abstract

The paper describes a practical model for routing and tracking with mobile vehicle in a large area outdoor environment based on the Global Positioning System (GPS) and Global System for Mobile Communication (GSM). The supporting devices, GPS module-eMD3620 of AT&S company and GSM modem-GM862 of Telit company, are controlled by a 32bits microcontroller LM3S2965 implemented a new version ARM Cortex M3 core. The system is equipped the Compass sensor-YAS529 of Yamaha company and Accelerator sensor- KXSC72050 of Koinix company to determine moving direction of a vehicle. The device will collect positions of the vehicle via GPS receiver and then sends the data of positions to supervised center by the SMS (Short Message Services) or GPRS (General Package Radio Service) service. The supervised center is composed of a development kit that supports GSM techniques-WMP100 of the Wavecom company. After processing data, the position of the mobile vehicle will be displayed on Google Map.
