Live Tracking of College Bus Using GPS Module and Website

The Vehicle Tracking System based on IoT is planned to offer real-time location tracking of vehicles via GPS and IoT. The system will be formed through a hardware component that includes an Arduino microcontroller, a GPS module (NEO-6M), and an ESP8266 Wi-Fi module. The GPS module retrieves the real-time position (latitude and longitude) of the vehicle, which is treated by the Arduino and relayed to a web server using the ESP8266 module. The data is then stored in a MySQL database with a PHP backend. To run real-time tracking, a basic-to-operate webpage gathers the location information from the database and shows it on an interactive map—for example, Google Maps. For fleet management, anti-theft prevention, and logistics optimization the system is quite helpful. It offers a cheap and sensible method for real-time car tracking, so supporting security and operational efficiency. IoT, GPS, and web technologies help to integrate this system so making it scalable and flexible for many uses.
