Vehicle Location Tracker Using Arduino

step by step guide how you make vehicle location tracking system

Introduction

  • In this article, we’ll explore how to build a GSM and GPS-based vehicle anti-locking system using Arduino.
  • This project aims to enhance vehicle security by automatically locking the vehicle and sending its location to the owner’s mobile phone in case of theft access.
  • The system leverages a GPS module to track the vehicle’s real-time location and a GSM module to send SMS alerts.
  • The Vehicle Location Tracking System is an innovative solution that uses Arduino and it enables real-time tracking and remote control of a vehicle.
  • This article will explain the completed process of the projects and explain all components in detail.

GSM Module (SIM800l)

    • The GSM module facilitates communication with the vehicle using the Global System for Mobile Communications (GSM) network.
    • It enables sending and receiving SMS messages, which allows for remote control and monitoring of the vehicle.
    • The module is connected to the Arduino board to pin numbers 2 and 3.

Ignition Sensor

    • The ignition sensor is an analog sensor connected to the Arduino board.
    • It measures the voltage or resistance associated with the vehicle’s ignition status.
    • The sensor helps detect whether the ignition is on or off, enabling the system to monitor the vehicle’s status.

Resistor (10Ω) and Resistor (10kΩ)

    • These resistors are used in conjunction with the ignition sensor.
    • They create a voltage divider circuit to convert the analog signal from the ignition sensor into a measurable value.

12V Power Supply

    • The tracking system requires a 9V power supply to operate the Arduino board, GSM module, GPS module, and other components.
    • The power supply can be sourced from the vehicle’s battery or an external power source.

GSM Module

    • RX pin of the GSM module is connected to digital pin 11 (txPin) of Arduino.
    • TX pin of the GSM module is connected to digital pin 10 (rxPin) of Arduino.
    • The GSM module is powered and grounded appropriately.

GPS Module

    • RX pin of the GPS module is connected to digital pin 9 of Arduino (AltSoftSerial library is used).
    • TX pin of the GPS module is connected to digital pin 8 of Arduino.
    • The GPS module is powered and grounded appropriately.

Ignition Relay

    • One terminal of the ignition Relay is connected to digital pin 4 of Arduino.
    • The other terminal of the ignition switch is connected to the ground.
    • A pull-up or pull-down resistor may be necessary based on the switch type.

Ignition Sensor

    • The ignition sensor is connected to analog pin A0 of Arduino.
    • Appropriate 1M and 100k resistors and wiring may be required for proper sensor connections.
