Project Title

Internet of Things based GPS Tracking System

Abstract

Internet of Things based GPS & GSM tracking system with a web page user-friendly interface that enables transportation industry to keep track of their vehicle with the timestamp. This project also involves the data collection from temperature and the light sensor that can help to provide an alert if their conditions are not matched for carrying some sensitive goods like medicine.

Objectives & Introduction

The project shows the implementation of Internet of Things based GPS tracking system with an add-on feature that is the collection of data from temperature and light sensor. This data is being stored on APACHE web server running on raspberry pi which will also save the memory storage area on the hardware. The output is being shown on the web page with a user-friendly interface. The aim of this project is to make a user-friendly application that can be used to track the route taken by the vehicle along with the ability to determine the temperature and light conditions at the particular time.

Design & Implementation

The design section can go over your hardware and software design. Organize this section using sub-sections that go over your design and implementation. Block Diagram

Hardware Interface

In this section, you can describe how your hardware communicates, such as which BUSes used. You can discuss your driver implementation here, such that the Software Design section is isolated to talk about high level workings rather than inner working of your project.

Software Design

Show your software design. For example, if you are designing an MP3 Player, show the tasks that you are using, and what they are doing at a high level. Do not show the details of the code. For example, do not show exact code, but you may show psuedocode and fragments of code. Keep in mind that you are showing DESIGN of your software, not the inner workings of it.

Implementation

This section includes implementation, but again, not the details, just the high level. For example, you can list the steps it takes to communicate over a sensor, or the steps needed to write a page of memory onto SPI Flash. You can include sub-sections for each of your component implementation.

Testing & Technical Challenges

Describe the challenges of your project.

  • First and very important aspect for any project is requirement gathering.

Make a smooth transition to testing section and described what it took to test your project.

Include sub-sections that list out a problem and solution, such as:

My Issue #1 LPC17xx UART Rx FIFO

LPC17xx UART not able to receive more than 16 bytes
Resolution :
Inside the interrupt reading as much data as available

Conclusion

Conclude your project here. You can recap your testing and problems. You should address the "so what" part here to indicate what you ultimately learnt from this project. How has this project increased your knowledge?
