A vehicle monitoring and tracking system gives the better solutions in the security issues of various applications. Based on android application is designed and implemented for monitoring the vehicle based on location. Security to this system can be provided using finger print module for authentication purpose. The vehicle will be started only when the authorized person enters into the vehicle and provides finger print to biometric device so that by using this authentication process we can avoid misusing of vehicle and thefts. The GPS is a one of location reorganization technology that is used in several applications. GPS is also used for vehicle tracking and monitoring. The tracking system of our proposed system informs the location and route travelled by vehicle and also the GSM technology is used for sending alert message to mobile.

 
Vehicle GPS tracking device technology allows seeing our vehicle location and other features through the GPS system Vehicle Tracking and monitoring System is the technology used to determine the location of a vehicle using different methods like GPS, GSM . This system is an important tool for tracking each vehicle at a given period of time and now it is becoming increasingly popular for people having expensive cars and hence as a theft prevention and retrieval device. The system consists of modem hardware and software components enabling one to track their vehicle. In order to reduce man power and saving of money, here the system provides easy tracking solution using Embedded Board. This system gets tracking information of the vehicles like vehicle location, Date, Time. And also provides safety mechanisms with the help of temperature sensor and gas leakage sensor. Hence in the case of raising the temperature inside the vehicle due to some reason or leakage of the LPG gas inside the vehicle, the alert message get send to the authenticated  persons. The GSM module is used which transmit the updated vehicle information such as sensors values and alert messages to the authenticated users and remotely located users can get those vehicle information on Smartphone. That shows the real time vehicle location in the Smartphone . Thus, users will be able to continuously monitor a moving vehicle on demand using the Smartphone and determine the estimated distance and time for the vehicle to arrive at a given destination. Some of the functional unit of the vehicle tracking system is consists of 32 bit microcontroller, GPS Modem, finger print module, GSM modem and LCD. First we need to initialize the finger print module, GPS, GSM and LCD. Since we are using GPS by using latitude and longitude we can find out the vehicle position.

We are using a Biometric module for Authentication purpose. Vehicle will starts when only the authorized person finger enrollment matches with the stored template, it is also gives the security from the vehicle thief. In the GPS device interact with satellite and gives the current latitude and longitude values. These values are compared with already stored latitude and longitude values, if both values match it shows location are matched. Otherwise it shows location is not found. Using GSM message will send to the mobile. Using that value we can track the current location of vehicle. In this module GPS device interact with satellite and gives the current latitude and longitude values. These values are compared with already stored latitude and longitude values, if both values match it shows location are matched. Otherwise it shows location is not found. Using GSM message will send to the mobile. Using that value we can track the current location of vehicle.
