Our system has micro controller ATMEGA328 which continuously checks for new message. When it gets the message with predefine format so that it filter the right message, then controller first read the mobile number from which it gets the message for location.

Several security and tracking systems are designed to assist corporations with large number of vehicles and several usage purposes. A fleet management system can minimize the cost and effort of employees to finish road assignments within a minimal time. Besides, assignments can be scheduled in advanced based on current vehicles location. Therefore, central fleet management is essential to large enterprises to meet the varying requirements of customers and to improve the productivity. However, there are still some security gaps where these technologies don’t prevent a vehicle from theft, don’t assist to recover it and don’t allow the users to know the status of their vehicles. They can’t permit the owner to communicate with the vehicle online, even if the owner is certain that his vehicle was stolen. In wireless data transporting, GSM and SMS technology is a common feature with all mobile network service.
