Vehicular Monitoring and Tracking System

Abstract: The rapid growth in the transport industry has led to the increase in accidents and vehicle theft. This paper explains about design of Vehicular Monitoring and tracking System based on ARM combinative with Global System for Mobile (GSM) and Global Positioning System (GPS). This System uses ARM processor LPC1768 that is interfaced with the temperature sensor and SIM908 (GSM and GPS). SIM908 gives latitude, longitude and other information to the monitoring station such as Police station or Hospitals in case of accidents and also to the owner of vehicle in case of vehicle theft.
