Abstract :-
In this project, GPS will be used to track a car along with GSM. By making a few
software and hardware adjustments, this vehicle tracking system can also be utilised for
other purposes, such as traffic density and accident detection alert systems. The method
of tracking a vehicle involves keeping track of its whereabouts using latitude and
longitude (GPS coordinates). The value of a location is its GPS coordinates. This
method works quite well for outdoor applications. This type of vehicle monitoring
system project is frequently used to track taxis, stolen cars, school buses, and other
vehicles. In essence, this system is embedded. Hardware that is managed by software is
referred to as embedded. Nearly everyone in society now owns a car, and theft occurs
sometimes while driving and sometimes while parking. Vehicle safety is incredibly
important for public transportation vehicles. The car has a locking and tracking
mechanism to keep track of its location. Using the Global Positioning System (GPS) and
Global System for Mobile Communication, the location of the car was determined
(GSM). These devices continuously monitor a moving vehicle and provide status reports
as needed.

I. INTRODUCTION
VTracking is an application that helps us Monitor the location of our vehicles. It will
provide notification when the vehicle is over speeding. It will tell you when the
vehicle is idle and when the vehicle is moving. Also an added feature of the vehicle is
that it will inform you when the vehicle is in parking and what is the overall average
speed of the vehicle. Many high-end automobiles, such as Tesla, include tracking
services. However, using such vehicles is neither profitable nor even remotely feasible
for travel agencies. However, with VTracking, it is also possible to track the average
distance travelled per litre of fuel. Vehicles are also breaking down due to overheating.
This will alert you to various stops as well as live tracking of the vehicle. It will also
warn you if you are driving too fast. You can also see where the vehicle has stopped and
for how long. Complete Vehicle Management is possible remotely using this app . Its
economic viability and technological convenience provides leading edge in the market.
It uses centralised system for better management of all fleet available for owner.
 II. LITERATURE SURVEY

The author of the study offers a method that makes use of gadgets like the Raspberry Pi
and GPS Antenna to track and keep an eye on public transit vehicles. The processing
board for the Raspberry Pi can be used to receive values and output the results. This
technique can discover a means of tracking the moving object from its location source to
its destination. In this study, a GPS receiver module is used to continuously receive the
latitude and longitude values of the vehicle's current location. Between the source and
destination locations, a car passenger will provide the system with several locations. In
this study, an Arduino-based real-time GPS tracker system was implemented and
designed. This technique could be used for car safety, private driver tracking, and
salesman tracking. The paper's author also made an effort to develop a solution for the
issue faced by owners of pricey automobiles who want to watch and track their vehicle's
movements and previous actions. The system uses GPS/GSM modules that are mounted
inside the car and are managed by an Arduino MEGA board. The author of this paper
describes an embedded system that uses GSM and GPS technology to determine the
location of the car. A GPS and GSM module with a microcontroller must be closely
connected for the system. The device's GPS will initially acquire the vehicle's location
from a satellite and store it in a microcontroller's buffer. The registered mobile number
can be used to track whereabouts. The registered mobile number must send a request to
monitor location; once the number's authentication is complete, the location will be
delivered to the mobile number in the form of an SMS.

III. PROPOSED APPROACH

VTracking is an application that helps us Monitor the location of our vehicles. It
provides services which make the Vehicles user friendly. It will provide notification
when the vehicle is over speeding. It will tell you when the vehicle is idle and when the
vehicle is moving. Also an added feature of the vehicle is that it will inform you when
the vehicle is in parking and what is the overall average speed of the vehicle. Many
high-end automobiles, such as Tesla, include tracking services. However, using such
vehicles is neither profitable nor even remotely feasible for travel agencies. However,
with VTracking, it is also possible to track the average distance travelled per litre of
fuel. Vehicles are also breaking down due to overheating. This will alert you to various
stops as well as live tracking of the vehicle. It will also warn you if you are driving too
fast. You can also see where the vehicle has stopped and for how long.

IV. PRESENT WORK

The project (App) is developed using Node.js and Angular where dynamic programing
is used. The major concern of driving vehicles on Indian roads is safety. This app
facilitates safety and helps the driver maintain various functions of vehicles and will
help to ensure smooth functioning of vehicles. Tracking of location is instrumental for
any travelling service provider. The companies should know where and at what speed
the vehicle is moving so as to avoid any untoward incidents. We try to provide highest
possible efficiency in location. Anti-Theft feature helps to provide safety properties and
alerts notification during possibility of theft or accidents when the vehicle is stationary.
We can also get important information like fuel consumption of vehicle which is an
important factor.

V. RESULT AND DISCUSSION

 Fig 1.1 Login page 1.2 Menu

functions and customize the application interface.

VI. CONCLUSION
we Introduce this vehicle tracking with some new feature and providing a better
experience to end user Vehicle tracking systems improve fleet management, resulting
in increased profits. Better scheduling or route planning can help you handle larger
job loads in less time. Vehicle tracking, whether for personal or business purposes,
improves safety and security, communication medium, performance monitoring, and
productivity. So, in the coming year, it will play a significant role in our daily lives.
The main goal of the project is to incorporate various types of sensors to help reduce
the chances of losing a life in an accident that we cannot prevent from happening.
When an accident is reported, paramedics are dispatched to the scene to improve the
chances of survival.

VII. FUTURE SCOPE

 You'll be informed if the driver goes beyond the posted speed limits on the
designated roadways.
 The driver is informed when they transgress traffic laws, such as failing to heed
traffic signals or overtaking on roads where it is not permitted.
 To protect the security of passengers, surveillance systems are deployed in vehicles.
 If drivers follow the regulations and do not act dangerously, they are rewarded.
 Making Indian roadways more accessible is our aim.
