ABSTRACT
The Cloud GPS Tracking System is a real-time location tracking application integrated with
cloud services to monitor and manage the position of vehicles, goods, or individuals. It
captures GPS data from IoT-enabled devices and uploads it to a cloud platform for real-time
visualization and data storage. The system is accessible via a web or mobile application,
enabling efficient monitoring, route analysis, and alert management.

This project overcomes limitations of traditional GPS trackers by leveraging cloud-based


infrastructure to provide reliable, scalable, and secure access to location data. The proposed
system has applications in logistics, fleet management, personal tracking, and emergency
services.

CHAPTER 2 – PROBLEM STATEMENT AND OBJECTIVE


2.1 Problem Statement

Current GPS tracking systems struggle with issues like limited data accessibility, lack of
scalability, and unreliable security. There’s a need for an efficient and dependable cloud-
integrated system that allows live tracking and historical data retrieval with real-time
updates.

2.2 Objective

To develop a Cloud GPS Tracking System that collects, stores, and displays real-time
location data from IoT-enabled GPS devices, ensuring secure, scalable, and user-friendly
access to location data through cloud-based web and mobile platforms.

CHAPTER 3 – LITERATURE REVIEW / EXISTING SYSTEMS


Several existing systems rely on SMS-based tracking or on-premise servers, limiting
scalability and real-time performance. Modern cloud-based GPS tracking solutions have
improved data accessibility and integration but still face challenges in ensuring security,
managing high-volume data, and offering user-friendly interfaces.

Our project improves upon these systems by leveraging cloud IoT services, secure data
protocols, real-time data ingestion, and scalable NoSQL databases while maintaining low
latency.

CHAPTER 4 – SYSTEM DESIGN AND ARCHITECTURE


The system comprises three components:

- GPS Device (IoT-enabled)


- Cloud Server (AWS / Firebase)
- Web/Mobile Application

Workflow:
1. The GPS device captures location coordinates.
2. Data is transmitted via MQTT/HTTP to the cloud.
3. The cloud processes, stores, and forwards data to applications.
4. Users can access real-time and historical location data via a web or mobile interface.

System Architecture:
A diagram illustrates the interactions between components, devices, cloud services,
databases, and user applications.

CHAPTER 7 – IMPLEMENTATION DETAILS


1. GPS hardware captures location data.
2. Microcontroller processes and sends data to cloud servers via MQTT.
3. Cloud services handle data ingestion, storage, and routing.
4. Web/mobile applications use REST APIs to fetch, process, and visualize data.

Features:
- User authentication
- Live map tracking
- Historical data logs
- Alerts
