Internet of Things based vehicle monitoring system

Advances in technologies and availability of economical open source hardware systems are setting a new trend in system designing. Use of technologies like Internet of Things (IoT) can ease the process of data collection and analysis. The main objective of the paper is to describe a system which can monitor or track the location and vehicle parameters of different test vehicles from a centralized place for research and development purposes and to store data of testing parameters of those vehicles on the server for further analysis and records. System design will be generalized for monitoring different parameters like Location, Vehicle speed, Engine compartment temperature, Fuel consumption and many more. Proposed system uses Open source controller and GPS/GSM/GPRS module for data transfer application.
