Abstract: An effective vehicle tracking and monitoring system for monitoring the movement of a fitted vehicle from different places at different times is designed as well as implemented. The device proposed good use of a common technology that integrates a microcontroller and a smartphone based application. The engineered in-vehicle device uses a Global Positioning System (GPS), a Global Mobile Communication System as well as a General Packet Radio Service (GSM / GPRS) technology that serves as one of the most effective ways of locating vehicles. A vehicle whose location is to be calculated and tracked within real time, mounts this device. GPS, GSM and GPRS modules are powered by a microcontroller. The GPS module used in the vehicle tracking system for collection of the geographic coordinates of the vehicle at regular intervals of time. The movement and update of the location of the vehicle in a database is done by a GPS module.
