This paper proposes a cost effective method of tracking cargo mobility using GPS. The system gives current vehicle location whenever needed with reliable accuracy. The system uses GSM and GPS technology, helping in efficient monitoring of the desired vehicles. The paper also discusses the proposed GPS based vehicle Tracking System using GSM technology in which the coordinates are forwarded to Central monitoring system. The position of the vehicle can be traced on Google/Local maps. The paper gives functional, Technical description and Software Implementation for the GPS and GSM based Vehicle Tracking System.
