Design of vehicle position tracking system using short message services and its implementation on FPGA

This paper describes the design of a system that can give information of vehicle position every time there's a request for it. The information of vehicle position is gained from GPS and it is transmitted using short message services. The system is designed using VHDL on Altera MAX+plus II software, and it is implemented on Altera UP1X demoboard based on FPGA chip, which is Altera FLEX 10K EPF10K70RC240-4.
