Advanced vehicle monitoring and tracking system based on Raspberry Pi

An advanced vehicle monitoring and tracking system is designed for monitoring the school vehicle from any location A to location B at real time and provide safety environment to the traveler. The proposed system would make good use of new technology that based on Embedded Linux board namely Raspberry Pi and its advanced feature of storing database at real time. The proposed system works on Global Positioning System (GPS) and Global System for Mobile Communication (GSM) which is used for vehicle tracking and monitoring mechanism. For this purpose SIM908 Module is used which includes all the three things namely GPS GPRS GSM. The GPS gives current location of the vehicle; GPRS sends the tracking information to the server and the GSM is used for sending alert message to vehicle's owner mobile. The proposed system would place inside the vehicle whose position is to be determined on the web page and monitored at real time. In the proposed system, there is comparison between the current vehicle path and already specified path inside the file system of Raspberry pi. Hence if the driver drives the vehicle on the wrong path then the alert message will be sent from the proposed system to the vehicle's owner mobile and if the vehicle's speed goes beyond the specified value of the speed, then also the warning message will be sent from system to the owner mobile. The proposed system also took care of the traveler's safety by using LPG Gas leakage sensor MQ6 and temperature sensor DS18B20.
