Semester Project

Introduction

Group members:
1) Mansoor Ahmad Khan
2) Muhammad Nauman Tariq

The purpose of our device is to locate the position of (specifically) vehicle but you may find the location of anything you want by just fitting it in that object, and whenver you send a message to it, it will send you a google map link.



The objectives of our project are:

1) Location tracker
2) Speed limit
3) Accident alarm
The device we are going to made will help us to find its location using GPS, we will send a message over GSM and GSM through arduino receive the loction from GPS and in reply it will send its location in form of google map link and also the LCD will diplay its location in form of (latitude,longitude). Also it will send a message if its speed is get increase than the restricted speed limit, morever if there is sudden large decrease in its speed then it means there is chance of accident in such situation it will also create a message and will deliver it to user.

Main components

Name of components	Specifications & pins required
NEO-6M GPS module	Tx,Rx,Vcc and Ground 2.5m 0.1m/s 2.7-3.6V D.C 3V
SIM-900A GSM module	Tx,Rx,Vcc and Ground 4.8-5.6V D.C Sms
TfT 1.44 inch-LCD	128x128 resolution Led-3.3v Vcc-5v 5 pins for SPI digital interface

Selection of the components are very important! you to have select the componens wisely. Above are the some main component we used during our project.The main thing in this project is network either with satellite for location or mobile network for Sms we face alot of troubles during connection validation but we trouble shoot all these problems,So you have to select the components which are better in network connection.

Flow chart

Above flow chart displays the flow of execution of our system i.e the human(user) will send a message to the GSM and GSM through arduino will fetch the location from GPS and reverse process will take place and user will receive a message having a Google map location(link).



Final prototype to be expected

Intellectual Properties and Ethics Considerations

All the codes we are going to share with you in last are open source(available to everyone) so that every can get benefit of it.Morever we have gone through many website but the website which we mostly prefferd are below:
https://circuitdigest.com/microcontroller-projects/vehicle-tracking-system-using-arduino-gps-and-gsm
https://www.itead.cc/wiki/SIM900/SIM900A_GSM/GPRS_Minimum_System_Module#Overview


Commercialization Aspects

The primary concern of this product is all vehicle owners because its main purpose is to track vehicles,we can also get the information that how fast is vehicle travelling.This device also help to put an end to thieves and you may plan to catch the theives through this device.However we may also fit this device in wild animals beacuse they are very important to our enviroment but for them we have to fit a small battery to provide source to the device.Also we can fit it in handicaps persons(mentaly handicaps) as a handbrace so that their family can easiy got them.





Design

The Design process has several layers to it. Schematic Design, Software Design, Final Hardware Assembly



During hardware Interfacing




location we got during hardware interfaincg



Schematic Diagram




PCB Layout




first of all sketch all the comoponent in schematic and connect them accurately to their adajacent terminal then convert it into schematic then route all the wires in such way that their should be no crossing of two wires,one wire should be little apart from other wire otherwise our PCB will be short and will not work properly.

PCB components






Populated PCB






PCB successfully Booted







Software Development

Describe the structure of your software. In a pictorial format you may describe the flow of your algorithm and how you have used the functions to implement the code in an efficient way.



Design of finished Product



The above design we have made is through laser cut but you may design a small and compact box approximately equal to match box.





Results in Video form

Below is the drive link containing the video of functional GPS displaying the result on LCDs https://drive.google.com/file/d/1B-e8U83D21VtlDMzQp8LYb8S0WVjh0Xk/view?usp=sharing







Conclusions

We learn alot because initially! everytime when we get into our work it takes almost one hour to get our prevoius work's output after troubleshooting of a hour we proceed further but anyways we got so mush command, that after finalizing our project within 5 to 6 minute we can interface our components and it will work surely.






Project Execution Plan
