Development of a Novel Ubiquitous Client monitoring and Pervasive Vehicle Tracking System using enhanced 3G Technology for Transportation Applications

Abstract

Vehicle tracking and monitoring system plays a significant role in ensuring safety and security of vehicles. These systems come handy in situations like stolen recovery vehicle, fleet management, asset tracking, fuel management, surveillance, etc. The proposed system uses Raspberry Pi as the Embedded Linux board to enhance the client monitoring and pervasive vehicle tracking system. Conventional vehicle tracking method uses microcontroller 18F45K20 and 2G technology which makes it less suitable for receiving data in tower less areas. This proposed system makes use of GPS and GSM technologies for vehicle tracking and Altium software to minimize PCB board size that could be a ubiquitous client monitoring system. GPS receiver helps in tracking the vehicle location whereas vehicle monitoring is achieved by taking pictures and videos of vehicle location with the help of Raspberry Pi camera. 3G technology is implemented to increase tracking speed and to improve monitoring. Python coding is used as the programming language in the proposed system and the novelty lies in this ubiquitous client monitoring system is recovering the complete information even after when the network restores.
