Abstract
Large cities with fleet of vehicles require a system
to determine location of movement of passenger vehicles at a
given time.
Vehicle tracking systems can be used in theft
prevention, retrieval of lost vehicles, providing traffric oriented services on lanes.
The Vehicle tracking systems VETRAC enables vehicle drivers or any third party to track
the location of any moving vehicle.
Most modern vehicle
tracking systems use GPS modules which is costly in usage and implementation.
Many systems also combine a
communications component such as cellular or satellite
transmitters to communicate the vehicle's location to a
remote user.
VETRAC uses WiFi IEEE 802.11 b/g for easy
and accurate location of the vehicle, which provides effective
and simple communication.
Vehicle information can be
viewed on electronic maps using the Internet or specialized
software.
We have designed and developed an Intelligent
Vehicle Navigation System, which identify an optimally
minimal path for navigation with minimal traffic intensity
using WiFi.
The system can also be used as a city guide to
locate and identify landmarks in a new city
