VEHICLE TRACKER AND ANTI THEFT

The “Smart Tracking and Antitheft” system is an innovative project designed to provide real-time vehicle tracking and theft prevention using GPS and GSM technologies. This system employs the GPS NEO-6M module for location tracking, the GSM SIM 800L module for communication, and the Arduino Uno as the central controller.

Components Required:

1. Arduino Uno
2. GPS NEO-6M Module
3. GSM SIM 800L Module
4. Breadboard and Jumper wires
5. Power supply

Circuit Connection:

• Connect the GPS NEO-6M module’s TX pin to Arduino pin 11 and RX pin to Arduino pin 10.
• Connect the GSM SIM 800L module’s TX pin to Arduino pin 2 and RX pin to Arduino pin 3.
• Ensure all modules are properly powered.

Working: The system works by continuously monitoring the vehicle’s location through the GPS module and transmitting this data to the user via the GSM module. If any unauthorized movement is detected, the system sends an immediate alert to the user’s mobile phone with the current location coordinates. This provides real-time updates and enhances the security of the vehicle.

Applications:

1. Vehicle Theft Prevention: Immediate alerts on unauthorized movement help prevent vehicle theft.
2. Personal Vehicle Tracking: Individuals can monitor their personal vehicles for safety and convenience.
3. Logistics and Delivery Services: Ensures real-time tracking of delivery vehicles, improving service efficiency.
