vehicle tracking using GIS and wireless network

                                      ABSTRACT

In this research work, a detail study and thorough analysis of existing systems for vehicle tracking using geographical information syste(GIS) and wireless network were carried out techniques for monitoring fleet of vehicles on long distance or on a journey were identified and analyzed.

INTRODUCTION

   Vehicle is a major device or tool for road transportation. Its management is also an important part of the transportation system. Road road transportation involve transportation of people and goods from place to place across the country. It also serves as a means of exchange of information between different places and destinations.

      For a vehicle to discharge its duties satisfactory and up to date adequate are needs to be given to its maintenance, management and safety.

      Several among the natural and man induced phenomenon common to vehicles in nigeria and world over include the following.

·       Theft

·       Road mishaps

·       Loss and diversion

·       Accident

OBJECTIVE OF PROJECT

This study has its primary objectives, the design of a system with the corperate goals and objectives. Also a system that wiil be immense benefit to the government, operators and passengers of all categories in the tracking and monitoring of vehicles.

            Other objectives of the study are to

·       Develop a cost effective, efficient in intelligent and user friendly graphic interface for vehicle tracking system.

·       Enforce the timely and accurate report of vehicle operational delays and other road mishaps.

                                               

METHODOLOGY

First the design of the proposed system was done.

Secondly, existing literature on the application of computer technology in vehicle tracking using GIS and wireless network were carefully reviewed.
