IoT Based Vehicle Tracking and Monitoring System Using Smart Application

Companies like Ola, Uber, and others work in a similar way which is they hire a third-party vehicle and driver i.e. locals of any particular area. These drivers will be connected with the customers who want to avail the taxi service. This makes it easy for the drivers to find their customers faster and also helps people to book any cab at the last minute. This last-minute booking was the one thing that made these applications succeed in their business. Our idea is to enhance their business by getting additional information from the third-party vehicles like petrol level, the heat level of the engines, and also detect accidents that occurred. We need to do this because there are accidents that occur due to driver's negligence. It is the sole duty of the driver to check these things in the car or any vehicle before even starting or getting onto the road but some drivers are not checking their vehicles properly and some vehicles are not even serviced regularly driving those vehicles can create unnecessary problems both to the drivers and customers. This leaves a bad impression on the company that provides this service and affects its reputation. Now to find these parameters in the car that also in real-time we will be using IoT, also called the IoT module or IoT chip is a small electronic device that is embedded on objects or any machine used to send or receive signals when connected to the internet. The IoT chip provides always-on connectivity because it transfers signals in real-time such that there is no need to switch it on every time to use it. These details will then be sent to the application that will be used by Android users. In the application, all the parameters like temperature and voltage will be acquired using sensors like (Voltage sensor ZMPT101B, Temperature Sensor LM35, MEMS sensor ADXL345) and the acquired values will be available. Later this will be integrated into the respective company's application so that the customers can also easily see the vehicle they are travelling to and in case of danger they can warn the driver.
