Generally the usage of a vehicle tracking system has been increased rapidly. The major concern of the proposed system is identifying the vehicle theft by implementing anti-theft system. Vehicle tracking system is beneficial in many ways such as providing security to the personal vehicles, taxis, cabs, school buses/cars and others. Vehicle tracking system is designed to know the position of the vehicle. The Tracking system is developed by using Arduino uno, GPS and GSM modules to locate the user’s vehicle easily. GPS module is used to track the location of the vehicle in the form of values such as latitude and longitude. These values are transmitted to the user using GSM modem through mobile network. Vehicle tracking system is guided by the following objectives; to design and implement a responsive vehicle tracking system, to collect the data to be used in designing the vehicle tracking system, to analyse the collected data and to test and validate the developed system for effectiveness.
