Design and Implementation of Web Based Real

Time Transport Vehicle Tracking and

Monitoring with Misroute Notification System
Abstract:
This work is aimed to study, design and build Transport Vehicle Tracking system with misroute notification
system and real-time tracking, accessible through a web and mobile application. The web server used as
backend, unifying GPS transmitted data from vehicle to web server and accessed through web browser and
Android applications. The location transmitter terminal installed in the vehicle consists in GPS receiver and
web module for data transmission. The transmitted data is received in the Android application, and is plotted
in real time using Google Maps, allowing the user to know where his desired vehicle is, and even to know
whether it is on restricted route through direct notification.
Keywords: Google Earth, Map API
Introduction:
Transport is one of the significant infrastructures of any country. The main problem about the transportation
is the indecision of waiting time due to traffic jams and any other matter live abnormal conditioning. The
safety of private and public vehicles is a foremost concern so GPS vehicle tracking system guarantees their
safety while travelling. In the existing system, different tracking techniques are used such as integration
with Google maps
The GPS (Global Positioning System) is a positioning calculation system from signals sent by a satellite
network, which turns likely to know an object’s position in means of latitude, longitude and even altitude.
Initial from the GPS concept is possible to build dissimilar trackers for certain applications, from a simple
city guide to a full traffic monitoring system. Problems such as lack of security, convenience and
accessibility presents on public transportation can be condensed by using hardware and software designed
to inform passengers or company of the current location and status of a particular vehicle. Taking that in
mind, the Internet of Things (IoT) is a powerful ally, as it offers great opportunities to improve existing
public transportation system by incorporating telemetry and data analysis to produce intelligent systems
helping real-world transport usage contexts [10]. Figure 1 indicates the Google map and generally the
location indicated like this.

Existing Methodology:
Y. Kakuda proposed technology for children tracking system to prevent crimes against children and
beneficial to parents. The technology is based on mobile ad hoc network. The system is helpful to parent to
know the safety level and to and from information of students on school route [2].
Farooq, U. M. Amar, M.U. et al. proposed GPS-GSM integrated public transportation management systems
consist of four modules such as bus station, in bus, base station and bus stop module. The developed system
is useful for facilitating people using public transportation services [3]. Communication between the system
and children will be solved by children having tag that transmit information to the bus unit making it
possible for system and driver to know the child is on the way to the bus. This system is useful for handling
safe route planning school bus position tracking and monitoring [4].
R. Anil kumar, G, Jyothirmai and K. Rameshbabu Proposed Vehicle positioning System Based on ARM
with combination of GPS and GSM can upload the information of the vehicle such as the position and speed
to the Monitoring center in time and make it convenient to control the traffic. The vehicle position system
has advantage of small size, scalable, reliable and powerful expansibility [5].
Intelligent system is able to act according to its situation without having to be instructed by humans. It
consists of data processor like artificial neural network, which is usually used as data trainer. The bus
monitoring and management system provide the exact location of the bus and predict the arrival time on
the basis of route and traffic [6].
V. Venkatakrishnan and R. Seethalakshmi develop Public transport ticketing and monitoring system
consists of GPS, GSM, RFID and Zigbee for the users. The use of GSM and GPS technologies allows the
system to track vehicle and provides up to date information about ongoing trips. The Zigbee module is
interfaced with microcontroller which is used to send the bus information to bus stops and to get information
to bus stops. The bus module operates the RFID for ticketing purposes and IR sensor for counting the
number of entering and exiting passengers [7].
Prafull Patinge and N.R. Kolhare proposed smart on board public information system, having fix GPS,
GSM/GPRS and microcontroller module on bus. This system alert passenger about the present and next
station on comparison with GPS coordinates and already stored GPS coordinates of respective location on
LCD display in bus and also announcement using speaker [8].
Abid Khan and Ravi Mishra proposed the system consists of single board embedded system having GPS
and GSM modems with ARM processor is installed in the vehicle to track vehicle. This system has many
advantages such as large capability, low operation cost, strong expansibility [9].
Proposed Methodology:
In this concept the mobile phone is used to do all hardware operations such as GPS and GSM, for the
implementation of this concept their no any hardware device used instead of Mobile.

Figure 2 General Diagram

The mobile data and GPS after successfully activated, the mobile GPS will continuously take coordinator
in the form of Latitude and Longitude. As soon as data comes from android mobile phone to web server,
the web server will convert coordinator into address. The data will save in database. The exact address will
display on page.
Implementation:
Latitude & Longitude Both are the angles that are uniquely defined on the sphere. Together the angle
comprises the co-ordinate scheme that can locate or identify the geographic position on the planet. Latitude
is defined with respect to the equatorial reference, the value becomes positive as it moves towards north
and it becomes negative towards south. Longitude is measured with reference to prime meridian and is
positive towards east and negative towards west [1].
 Figure 3 How it works?

Figure 2 depicts the snippet of code, After all data is received on the server, the Android application
captures that same data using GET and POST methods from HTTP procotol6 , which basically storage
the coordinates of a given bus in text documents named “GPS_data” and “GPS_route”. The next step is to
send the variables responsible for map plotting to Google Maps API.

Figure 4 Google Maps API maker plotting code example.

The server loads the route and updates the marker on the map every 5 seconds via the JQuery setTimeout
function.
Result:
The figure 5 show the output shown in android mobile phone, here no any other output shown, only GPS
will activate and the latitude and longitude will fetch and save in database.

Figure 5 Output of Android Phone

The fetched latitude and longitude will convert into address and display on page. Here user can provide
address, if driver going to that address the notification alert will go on owner mobile phone. The figure 6
shows the saved latitude and longitude into database.

Figure 6 Latitude and Longitude saved in database

 Figure 7 Address Displayed on Map

The figure 7 shows the latitude and longitude fetch from web server and related address will displayed.
That address will displayed on Google Map.
Conclusion:
Concluded the results, it was possible to conclude the likelihood of building a vehicle localization scheme
with monitoring address. GPS correctness provides detailed tracking of the route usage can be
compensated by data packets. With implantation of such solutions can favor a better acceptance of public
transportation services by young people and others in general. The Android app may be able to bring new
features such smart ticketing and provide more information about vehicle and driver in the future.
