Remote tracking protocol with predictive localization algorithm

Abstract

The free availability of GPS information has truly made the location based services for the public possible. Most of the application in the current scenario is for tracking one's own location. The objective in this paper is to design a protocol that uses the concept of GPS based location tracking and the merits of GSM based communication to track and trace a vehicle, that is remote to the user or the main server. A predictive localization algorithm is also implemented. The field tests show the accuracy of our design.
