Real-time GPS tracking and product security system
Abstract
The goal of this study was to provide a system which uses Global Positioning System
(GPS) to track mobile devices in real-time and secures properties using bar-code
technology. Even though, there are similar solutions in the current market, they are
most frequently operated by large third-party companies with an expensive service
fees. Considering the high demand for using such systems and the exaggerated service
fees; the proposed system of this study provides a free service using ordinary
devices and technologies: The new system focused on specific user groups ( such as
production, logistics and transport companies) for providing very rich functionalities
with a proper security. Users of the new solution of this study are able to
track their trucks ( or any mobile property) at real time, retrieving tracked history,
planning routes and searching for any location throughout the world. Additionally
it allows them to secure products while on transport using bar-code technology.
