INTERNET BASED FLEET MANAGEMENT USING GPS AND GSM/GPRS

Abstract

This paper presents the design and implementation of a large fleet management system, which is a true convergence solution of GPS, web-based GIS, GSM, GPRS and Internet technologies. The Short Message Service of the GSM is used to substitute the GPRS where GPRS is not available. A protocol stack including TCP/IP and PPP is implemented in vehicle unit to transmit data via Internet. A communication gateway is designed to distribute the location and control messages. The system tests confirm that the proposed scheme can perform a reliable management service for large fleets at low operating and maintaining costs.
