Raspberry Pi Pico Based GSM GPS Vehicle Tracking System

DOWNLOAD ABSTRACT

AIM:

Design and Development of Raspberry pi PICO based GSM GPS vehicle tracking system.

PURPOSE:

Vehicle tracking systems are common in now days. It is very useful for transport companies and government bus services. Still we don’t have bus tracking for government buses and schools buses. It is very useful if they have this kind of systems. It is a simple vehicle tracking system that can send location to mobile as SMS with Google maps. Project title is raspberry pi PICO based GSM GPS vehicle tracking system.

DESCRIPTION:

Raspberry pi Pico connected to GSM (SIM800c) UART port. Also GPS module (NEO-6m)connected to other UART of Pico. GSM modem works on AT commands. Based on AT commands it can send SMS to other mobile numbers. GPS module works based on NMEA statements.

WORKING:

Raspberry pi Pico reads GPS data continuously. In GPS data NMEA statements have GPS coordinates like latitude and longitude. Pico reads this GPS coordinates and converts into Google format. Pico sends these values to mobile number. When we send request SMS to GSM modem then it will send location. Also, for every fixed time interval like two minutes it sends location information to mobile number. In SMS there is Google maps like and by clicking on it, it shows on Google maps. This latitude and longitude values will be displaying on 16×2 LCD display.
