Abstract: The use of automobiles is necessary to ship goods and products from one place to another. The users face several problems due to delay in the delivery of goods. This delay may be due to choosing wrong or longer routes by the driver. The Global Positioning System (GPS) is being used for fleet management, stolen vehicle recovery, surveillance and mapping applications. In this paper, implementation details of a vehicle tracking system (VTS) on Google Maps are presented along with experimental results. The Transmitter unit has GSM Module, GPS Module. The GPS Module continuously reads the data from the Satellite and sends it to Arduino using Serial Communication. The received Latitude and Longitude values are transmitted to the Receiver through GPRS Technology available in SIM900 Module. The Data is transmitted to the Apache Server in Raspberry Pi. Once the Data is received by the Raspberry Pi it posts that data on to the Webpage in which a Google Maps Code is implemented. The Location is displayed on the Maps as a small Red Dot which shows the Current Location of the Vehicle.
