1 Architecture of IOT based Real Time Tracking System Sahil Taneja, Mani Karthik, Mohit Shukla, Hitesh Kumar Sharma University of Petroleum & Energy Studies, Dehardun Uttarakhand, India Abstract: An Internet of Things based application will be develop, which can track down the position of your bag or vehicle in real-time and display that same position on Google Map. The end-user will be able to see the real-time position of his/her lost or stolen bag or stolen vehicle on a web portal, which is deploy on cloud platform (Microsoft Azure/AWS) and we also have developed an Android Based App, which will show the same real-time position of bag or vehicle on their smartphone, ease to use. INTRRODUCTION In a day, many people travel from one place to another place. While traveling, many people may carry valuable items. There might be a chance of losing/stolen of the items. No airline service provider or any other travel service provider, provides the real-time tracking feature/service to track the passenger s bags, if it got lost/stolen. Similarly, in vehicles, any vehicle company is not providing any tracking system to track the vehicle when it is stolen. We know generally cost of vehicle will be high, so losing the vehicle cause people more stress. Traditionally, there was no system or device which track someone s lost/stolen bag or stolen vehicle. If there is a situation, where someone s bag or vehicle might get stolen and they were unable to locate because there was no such system through which they can track down their bag or vehicle, so they were relying on civilian police for finding their bag/vehicle. Similarly, it was difficult for civilian police also for finding the bag or vehicle. But with this device, they can track down the position of their stolen/lost bag or stolen vehicle in real-time and display that same position on Google Map. To overcome these such types of problems, we build a real-time tracking system using GPS. In which, we use GPS module to get exact location of the bag or vehicle and we also use GSM module to upload the data to the open source cloud via GPRS. Using cloud APIs services, we send data to the google map and show it in our app or web portal. While traveling, user can put this tracker in his/her bag or vehicle. Our device tracks the exact location of the bag and send the location to our app and web portal. User can use our tracking android app or web portal to track down the location of the bag. In our research work, we have also deployed a direction feature. By clicking the direction button on our android app/web portal, it will show the shortest route to the lost /stolen bag. Similarly, in this way our tracking system function for vehicles also. User can put our tracking device in trunk and leave it. If the vehicle got stolen, the user not need to worry. He/She can track the vehicle using our app or web portal. Our research work is not limited to the baggage and vehicle. Our research work can used for also various scenario like tracking lost pets, small children s etc. LITERATURE REVIEW As we all know Security has been becoming an important issue everywhere. It is becoming necessary nowadays as the possibilities of intrusion are increasing day by day. As we know Security can't be guaranteed. The best way to achieve a significant and lasting improvement in security is not by throwing more technical solutions at the problem - it's by raising awareness. Here, in our research work security system has been designed that has a special feature, which makes the person or passenger aware of his being bag being stolen/lost or vehicle being stolen. We have designed an internet of things based Real-Time Tracking System Using GPS. Arduino Uno device is used, which is considered one of modern programmable device and provide us an interface for accessing other modules.over the years, many 108 Sahil Taneja, Mani Karthik, Mohit Shukla, Hitesh Kumar Sharma

2 control systems have been designed to prevent unauthorized access. We as humans have a tendency of locking whatever is deemed precious to us, be it our belongings in the locker, our houses, other institutional buildings (schools, offices etc.). Hence, it is important to have a stress-free and convenient means of achieving privacy and safe guarding our belongings.in the more conventional ways people try to safeguard their belongings by employing a watch dog or maybe security personals. Billions of dollars worldwide are spent on this very purpose. Many security systems are deployed by us to protect our belongings from theft. As lifestyles around the world are getting plush, the need to design and prevent unauthorized access to our resources and belongings via a sophisticated system is very important and is feasible in the long run.hence to achieve the safety we have designed an Internet of Things Based Real-Time Tracking System Using GPS. The sole purpose of using Arduino Uno in our research work is that it has been the open nature of this very module & can provide an effective solution for IOT based applications. The software used on Arduino Uno is entirely available as on open source and the hardware design information is readily available under creative commons licenses for new designers as ourselves be it schematics, PCB layouts etc. In practice, it is very easy to adapt the software and the hardware, and then contribute what you do back on the Arduino research work as a whole. OBJECTIVES Objective A: Collecting the components forreal- Time Tracking System. Objective B: Building the Device. Objective C:Writing Business Logic using Arduino Software (IDE). Objective D:Development of Web Portal & An Android Application. Objective E:Testing the Device. Objective F: Deploying of Web Portal on Microsoft Azure/AWS. METHODOLOGY: For the creation of real-time tracking system, we need to achieve these sixobjectives. Through which we can track down the position of bag or vehicle in real-time and display that same position on Google Map. The end-user will be able to see the real-time position of his/her bag or vehicle on a web portal which will going to be deploy on cloud platform (Microsoft Azure/AWS) and we will also develop an android app which will show the same real-time position on their smart phone, ease to use. 1. Collecting the components for Real-Time Tracking System: For the development of Real-Time Tracking System, we do require hardware modules and sensors to get the real-time position. We will be requiring Arduino Uno Board (either 3.3V or 5V), GPS Module Sim 28M, GSM Module Sim 900A, Battery (12V 1A), Power Bank, Antenna, GPS Receiver, Jumper Wires, ThingSpeak API s and Microsoft Azure/AWS subscription. So, first step is to collect/purchase these components/subscriptions and then go for next phase. 109 Sahil Taneja, Mani Karthik, Mohit Shukla, Hitesh Kumar Sharma

We will use ThingSpeak Cloud API s to track the bag or vehicle. We will be using a GPS module, which will provide us the exact position of bag or vehicle. We will use GSM module to send the latitude and longitude coordinates to the ThingSpeak channel via GPRS. And to make connection between all the components, we will use jumper wires. 3. Writing Business Logic using Arduino Software (IDE): To get the current location of travel bag or vehicle, we need to write the code or the business logic (Arduino Programming) for the device using GPS, which will provide us the exact position of bag or vehicle and GSM will send it over GPRS to the ThingSpeak server. We will upload the code in Arduino Uno, in order to interact with GPS and GSM module. 4. Using API: We will be using Google Map API s and Google Map Direction Services through which we can display the location on map and shortest path to reach the stolen/lost travel bag or stolen vehicle. 5. Development of Web Portal & AnAndroid Application: We will design a web portal, which will have two frames, one frame will show the real-time position of stolen or lost travel or vehicle using Google Map APIs. And other frame will show the shortest direction to the bag or vehicle using Google Direction Services. We will code for web portal in HTML, CSS, JavaScript and PHP/Python.Along with web portal application, we will design an android application, which will show the same functionality of that web portal application. We will deploy the android application on the Google Play Market for the ease of user. 6. Testing the Device: After the development of Real-Time Tracking System, we will do the testing. We will provide different test case to the device, which will tell us that, how much our device is efficient, robust and accurate. 7. Deployment of Web Portal on Microsoft Azure/AWS: After testing the Real-Time Tracking System, the web portal will be deploy on the cloud platform, which could be Microsoft Azure App Service or Amazon Web Service. By deploying our web portal application towards cloud technology which 110 Sahil Taneja, Mani Karthik, Mohit Shukla, Hitesh Kumar Sharma

5 of the lost/stolen bag or stolen vehicle. Microsoft Azure is a public cloud computing platform. It provides various cloud computing services, which includes computing, data analytics, storage resources and network resources. Cloud Computing is a technology which delivers computing resources to the clients on request. As this web app will be available 24X7. Real-Time Tracking System Using GPS CONCLUSION The reason for doing this work is that traditionally, there was no system or device which track someone s lost/stolen bag or stolen vehicle. If there was a situation, where someone s bag or vehicle might got stolen and they were unable to locate because there was no such system through which they can track their bag or vehicle, so they were relining on civilian police for finding their bag/vehicle. Similarly, it was difficult for civilian police also for finding the bag or vehicle. By doing this research work, we have understand of how we can implement an Internet of Things based application in Travel Sector, which is going to help the people to track down their lost/stolen bag or stolen vehicle. It will be a great contribution to the world and the Internet of Things world community, so that someone can do more research on this research work and will be able to build even more secure, efficient and robust module or device which will help the consumer in a great way. It will be a nightmare to bag lifter or vehicle lifter as having our research work or device installed in their bag or vehicle. Because having device installed, will let consumers to track down their lost/stolen bag or stolen vehicle using web portal as well as an android application. By doing this research work, we can understand that how we can implement aninternet of Things open source platform in maintaining the latitude and longitude coordinates FUTURE WORK In a real-world scenario implementation, it would probably be an innovative idea, if we add an accelerometer to the Real-TimeTracking System in Airline Travel Sector, so that it would automatically sense when the airplane accelerates, breaks and use that to stop and start the reporting of its position. This will make the Real-Time Tracking System even much more energy efficient solution as the GSM SIM 900A device can be turned off and the Arduino Uno put to sleep Another feature that can be installed is that in further, we will make our device even more compact and small. So that our device can keep easily in any small things like handbags, pet s belts etc. for tracking. Then it won t be just limited to the travel sector means it could be use in everywhere, where need to locate something. This will make the Real-Time Tracking System even more robust, flexible and precise. REFERENCES [1] Al-Mazloum, A., E. Omer, and M. F. A. Abdullah.
