Abstract / Introduction

The Android-Based Vehicle Tracking and Monitoring Application is a real-time GPS-based tracking system designed to monitor and manage vehicles efficiently. This project leverages smartphone sensors and GPS technology to provide users with accurate vehicle location updates, movement history, and alerts for unauthorized usage or deviations from predefined routes. The application is developed for Android devices, integrating Google Maps and cloud-based storage to enhance accessibility and data security.

As cities become more crowded the security becomes a bigger worry, this app is designed to help people and businesses streamline their work by keeping tabs on vehicles in real time. The system grabs and sends out location details by letting users see where vehicles are through a user friendly map. It can also create virtual boundary called geofence to mark off-limits areas and send alerts if a vehicle crosses one of these lines.

This whole setup involves a mobile app and a backend system working together. The backend stores all the vehicle location data, handles any alerts, and crunches the numbers to figure out the best routes. It uses cloud databases and APIs to keep everything running smoothly and make sure it can handle lots of data. Users can securely log in, add their vehicles, and get instant alerts pushed straight to their phones. Plus, the app keeps a record of past trips, so users can look back at where they've been, how fast they went, and where they stopped.

The primary goal of this application is to improve vehicle security, enhance logistics efficiency, and provide real-time insights into vehicle movement. The system ensures user privacy by encrypting location data and restricting unauthorized access.

Functional Requirements:

1.    FR1: Users must create an account and log in securely using email, phone number, or social media authentication.

2.    FR2: The application must fetch and display live vehicle locations using GPS and update position data dynamically.

3.    FR3: Users should be able to define virtual boundaries for their vehicles and receive notifications when a vehicle enters or exits the defined area.

4.    FR4: The system should store historical location data, allowing users to replay past trips and analyse the routes that were taken.

5.    FR5: The application should track vehicle speed and generate alerts when a set speed threshold is exceeded.

6.    FR6: Users should be able to register and track multiple vehicles within the same application.

7.    FR7: The system must detect and notify users if a vehicle starts moving without authorization.

8.    FR8: Users must be able to set fitness and dietary goals, and the app should track their progress towards these goals with regular feedback.
