Abstract
With its new avenues, Internet of Things is bringing immense value and potential to the life style of masses. One of the important applications is managing and tracking large fleet which falls under domain of effective transportation and logistics. In this paper a framework has been proposed for real time fleet tracking system. This framework is composed of GPS, GSM and microcontroller technologies. The key features of the system are real-time location tracking, an open-source GIS platform, flexibility and a web-based user interface provided at the base station. A prototype of the proposed system is implemented. Our system prototype is experimentally tested for many trips in Delhi NCR region of North India. The system has been found stable and robust. Targeted fleet has been accurately tracked and its location has been transmitted to the server in real time. Further, with the capabilities of geofencing, functionality of traccar server, its user friendly interface the system is serving the purpose of ubiquitious fleet tracking system providing maximum accessibility for user anytime and anywhere.
