Abstract:
Internet of Things (IoT) is becoming bigger for each day and is talked about
everywhere technology is present. Many companies are implementing ideas
and solutions bound to the IoT in pursuing technological solutions with low
power consumption and long range coverage of signal. LoRa technology is
developing very quickly for better utilization and solutions. This technology can
give a new solution for the tracking and navigation industry in the form of smart
vehicle tracking system. It is become prominent to design an effective vehicle
tracking system which is provide accurate geolocation coordinates and reliable
in many areas, particularly large cities. This advance system can be employed
to track vehicles information related to current location, speed and time. This
project reports on design of a transponder for vehicle tracking systems using
LoRa technology. Moreover, LoRa technology is well known for its unique
features which provides ultra-long range spread spectrum communication and
high interference immunity whilst minimizing current consumption. The
implementation of this project is done by using InvenSense MPU-6050 sensor,
LCD display, LoRa GPS shield and Arduino UNO R3 to track the location of
stolen vehicle. The proposed system will performing the positioning process
and send real time geolocation data to TTN as well as forward to Cayenne.
The Cayenne application gives visualization of vehicle position on a map in
real time. In this paper, an overview of LoRa technology and in-depth analysis
of its’ functional components are covered and discussed.
