Abstract

GPS-GSM based vehicle tracking systems are widely used in various countries for precise location tracking and providing necessary information. However, there is no appreciable vehicle management framework for Rajshahi University of Engineering & Technology (RUET), that provides a complete vehicle monitoring system, bus route optimization, and real-time tracking. This paper proposes a trustworthy, low-cost and IoT-based vehicle monitoring system for RUET's Teachers' Bus. The developed prototype device will improve both efficiency and safety of the operation. The GPS-GPRS based module and open-source controller provide real-time position tracking of the test vehicle. The combination of IoT technology with geolocation APIs guarantees real-time information provision while enhancing the system's capabilities. In addition to addressing privacy and security concerns, this paper will open up new avenues for research and future system development opportunities.
