Abstract:
Tracking a vehicle as an anti-theft measure has been a necessity since the first
vehicles were invented. But up to this day, there is no technological solution that is convenient to
use and not break the bank. Most of the solutions are costly, because of the components used, and
also, inconvenient, due to the lack of integration of user interaction. In this paper, we introduce a
new solution, a theft-prevention GPS-tracking system that is accurate, user-friendly, and that is
affordable. We describe the steps of planning and developing such a system, deciding upon the
right hardware and software components and the way of integrating them into the product. We
expect this new approach to result into a highly usable GPS-tracking system, which will be an
efficient theft-prevention tool, which will keep the user up to date with the state of the tracked
vehicle.
