DESIGN AND IMPLEMENTATION OF TRACKING SYSTEM USING WIRELESS AND LASER TECHNOLOGIES

Communication

Abstract

This paper describes the design and the implementation of a novel tracking system that does not depends on the use of GPS-GSM tracking techniques or radar systems. The designed tracking system integrates both of wireless signals in VHF frequency band and laser beams to realize the tracking principle of an object movement, such as vehicles or pedestrian movement within any areas to determine its position precisely by using low cost and easy to install modules. The designed system consists of three modules; the transmitter module, the analyzer module, and the central monitoring module. It was concluded that the designed tracking system can be used efficiently in urban areas with high buildings that prevents the propagation of GPS satellites signals, valleys in mountainous region, underground areas and desert lands that is not covered by GSM mobile networks.
