Basic Concepts:

The security of the vehicle is the primary concern of all vehicle owners. It becomes necessary to track vehicle when it goes on road. It can meet with an accident or may be some theft. No one can always call a driver but there are chances that may get false information. Vehicle owners and researchers always look for and are keen to install new and improved security systems for vehicles. One of the latest additions in security systems for vehicles is vehicle tracking systems.

Vehicle Tracking System is a value added service or Service provided through a GPS Transponder device installed in a vehicle which enables a vehicle owner or a third party to track the vehicle’s movement and other activities while both in stationary and running modes. The system is a convergence of an on board automotive device, wireless Communication and global positioning system (GPS), to track vehicles via digital mapping application and reporting information system by using a web-interface, mobile phone and/or computer network.

This service can also be provided through Location Based Service (LBS) on the mobile network’s ability to locate the geographical position of the SIM/RUIM or mobile device without employing GPS.

• Real time vehicle tracking : In case of real time vehicle tracking anyone can see the live happenings of the vehicle .

How does Vehicle Tracking Service Work?

Satellite

Mobile Base Station

GP Server

Global Positioning System (GPS) is a worldwide radio-navigation system formed from the constellation of 24 satellites and their ground stations.

A Vehicle Location Manager is installed on your vehicle which collects and transmits tracking data via a cellular or satellite network, whichever works best for your operations. The device then delivers the data to the Track Your hosted application, which you can access through the Web at any time. Your will receive real-time vehicle tracking updates, including location, direction, speed, idle time, start/stop and more, allowing you to manage a tighter schedule and more efficient fleet.

Track Your Truck vehicle tracking features include real-time mapping with automatic refresh, live tracking from your mobile phone, and detailed truck activity reports.

Vehicle tracking relies both on the Global Positioning satellites (GPS) and a cellular system. A tracking module in the vehicle continuously picks up the GPS coordinates that indicate the real-time location of the vehicle. Using a cellular data service such as GPRS, the coordinates are immediately transmitted to the tracking company’s computers. Customers log in to the tracking company’s web site to see their vehicles on road maps, similar to in-dash and handheld GPS-based navigation systems.

The vtc has unspoken impact in our day to day life. It is one of the most popular technological advancements all over the world which has made our personal and professional life lot easier.

as the name suggests we can get the location of vehicle at any time from any place.

For example, by installing Grameen Phone tracking service, we can get the updates of our vehicle after every 25 seconds.

Vehicle tracking system has done wonders in maintaining the security of vehicle.service is providing 24 hour protection to our vehicle. In case of emergency we can block our engine at any time .

In these ways Vehicle tracking will have large prospect in the near future in Bangladesh which will revolutionize the way we travel.

System trouble: When you forego maps for GPS, you may find yourself in a

bind in certain situations. For example, if you are in an area that can’t gain access to the satellite, you must wait until you are within satellite range before you can get directions.

Invasion of privacy: tracking system may affect the privacy of the driver or owner.

For example, tracker can use the information about staff who are perfectly honest and hard working in order to fire them.

Accuracy: Over time, road names change and new roads appear. Because

of this, your GPS may provide incorrect directions. Expense : Vehicle tracking devices can be expensive to install

for a particular class of person. These are the main disadvantages of the service.
