Tracking systems of moving objects provide a useful means to better control, manage and secure them. Tracking systems are used in different scales of applications such as indoors, outdoors and even used to track vehicles, ships and air planes moving over the globe. This paper presents the design and implementation of a system for tracking objects moving over a wide geographical area. The system depends on the Global Positioning System (GPS) and Global System for Mobile Communications (GSM) technologies without requiring the Internet service. The implemented system uses the freely available GPS service to determine the position of the moving objects. The tests of the implemented system in different regions and conditions show that the maximum uncertainty in the obtained positions is a circle with radius of about 16 m, which is an acceptable result for tracking the movement of objects in wide and open environments.

Global Positioning System (GPS) has practically solved the problem of outdoor localization. However, limitation of GPS leads to a challenge for developing a new tracking system for indoor environment. Hence, the demand for accurate indoor localization services has become important. Until now, researches related to IPS are still being conducted with the objective to improve the performance of positioning techniques. This paper provides a comprehensive review of indoor localization techniques and stimulate new research effort in this field. Current existing indoor localization system that used for tracking objects were reviewed along with some further discussion to design a better indoor localization technique.

Air transport is the fastest way to reach areas with no direct land routes for ambulances. This paper presents the development of a quadcopter-based rapid response unit in an efficient aerial aid system to eliminate the delay time for first aid supplies. The system comprises a health monitoring and calling system for a field person working in open areas and a base station with the quadcopter. In an uncertain situation, the quadcopter is deployed from the base station towards the field person for immediate help through the specified path using constant Global System for Mobile (GSM)- and Global Positioning System (GPS)-based connections. The entire operation can be monitored at the base station with a Virtual Reality (VR) head-tracking system supported by a smartphone. The camera installed on the quadcopter is synchronized with the operator’s head movement while wearing a VR head-tracking system at the base station. Moreover, an Infrared (IR)-based obstacle-evasion model is implemented separately to explain the working of the autonomous collision-avoidance system. The system was tested, which confirmed the reduction in the response time to supply aid to the desired locations.

System Data

Many applications use the Global Positioning System data that provide rich context information for multiple purposes. Easier availability and access of Global Positioning System data can facilitate various mobile applications, and one of such applications is to infer the mobility of a user. Most existing works for inferring users’ transportation modes need the combination of Global Positioning System data and other types of data such as accelerometer and Global System for Mobile Communications. However, the dependency of the applications to use data sources other than the Global Positioning System makes the use of application difficult if peer data source is not available. In this paper, we introduce a new generic framework for the inference of transportation mode by only using the Global Positioning System data. Our contribution is threefold. First, we propose a new method for Global Positioning System trajectory data preprocessing using grid probability distribution function. Second, we introduce an algorithm for the change point–based trajectory segmentation, to more effectively identify the single-mode segments from Global Positioning System trajectories. Third, we introduce new statistical-based topographic features that are more discriminative for transportation mode detection. Through extensive evaluation on the large trajectory data GeoLife, our approach shows significant performance improvement in terms of accuracy over state-of-the-art baseline models.

Recently, indoor localization has witnessed an increase in interest, due to the potential wide range of using in different applications, such as Internet of Things (IoT). It is also providing a solution for the absence of Global Positioning System (GPS) signals inside buildings. Different techniques have been used for performing the indoor localization, such as sensors and wireless technologies. In this paper, an indoor localization and object tracking system is proposed based on WiFi transmission technique. It is done by distributing different WiFi sources around the building to read the data of the tracked objects. This is to measure the distance between the WiFi receiver and the object to allocate and track it efficiently. The test results show that the proposed system is working in an efficient way with low cost.

The number of injuries is increasing on a regular basis, as are concerns about driver and passenger safety. Countries that have minimized road traffic risk effectively have adopted a "systems approach" to road safety. The issue of road safety is centered on speed. There is a clear connection between speed and the number of accidents as well as the seriousness of the crash's consequences. This framework proposes a speed limit camera monitoring/tracking system that uses the Global Positioning System (GPS) and cloud computing with the Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) module to provide valuable information about roads in order to improve safety. It also alerts the driver about signs, breaks, and which roads it connects to in the future.

This work is a SMS (Short Message Service) based tracking system, that uses a Global Positioning System (GPS) and GSM module which is installed in a secret part of the vehicle and is in charge of tracking the vehicle and sending the location of the vehicle in terms of coordinates to the GSM (Global System for Mobile communication) module. The GSM module receives the coordinates via SMS in which the information is sent to the owner of the vehicle or the police and the vehicle’s position can be located in a map with the aid of the Google Maps application. This work implements the foundation of GPS, GSM, and all other embedded systems, with the use of their concepts to produce a vehicle tracking device that is cheaper and more effective than other tracking device in the market today.

Technology, trucking, and the surveillance of workers in the workplace: helpful or a hindrance? Technological advances are produced by the creative ideas individuals: these ideas then become selling items in their own right. Do tracking devices effectively regulate traffic breaches and criminality within the trucking industry? The data collection was conducted in the field while the authors rode as a passenger with truck drivers on long-haul trips. The complexities of tracking systems became more apparent as the authors listened to the men and placed their narratives in a broader context for a broader audience. The results of the work indicated that the Global Positioning System (GPS) has a role in the management of the industry as a logistics tool, but that there are limitations to the technology. The drivers use the devices and also feel the oppressive oversight when managers use the data as a disciplinary tool.
