Internet of Things Based Tracking System with Geo Fencing

Abstract

How do you get from one point to another today? You enter an address or two into your GPS in either your smartphone or car, right? It seems unthinkable to navigate a course in any type of vehicle without one. But if you reach deep into your memory banks, you may remember a time when GPS seemed like a concept, if you even thought of it at all. Maps and compasses were used to navigate as early as the 11th century. Sextants would measure the angle of celestial object such as the sun and the horizon which gives the object’s altitude. Radar navigation involves transmitting an electromagnetic signal at a target and using a reflected echo to calculate the distance. This method is used extensively to track aircraft and marine vehicles. Using Internet of Things our objective is to extract the location of GPS. In addition, we have provided facility of geofencing which generates alert on mobile application when tracker changes its position relative to established geofence.
