Abstract

Vehicle following device is a settled innovation in this advanced period of the technology which is utilized by armada framework and proprietor of a vehicle everywhere throughout the world. It is an extremely protected and dependable innovation. In this paper, a self-powered system is intended to track and screen any vehicle by utilizing Global Positioning System (GPS) and Global System for Mobile Communication (GSM). This device is fully powered by the waste heat of an automobile and that harvesting job is done by Thermoelectric Generator (TEG). A lot of systems are designed to achieve the goal for vehicle tracking and monitoring. As it needs a continuous operation, a huge amount of power is consumed to operate the device. This research will mitigate the cost of such a system by using power generated from wasted heat. PIC16F876A used as the processor with TEG, GPS and GSM module, Display, Heat Sensor, Crystal oscillator, Switching Transistor, and Voltage regulator. The location of the vehicle can be detected by GPS module and the user will get continuous notification of vehicles location by GSM module. This research will help vehicles owner to monitor his vehicle properly.
