IoT Project Ideas
Chapter
14
It is important to see the practical applications of
theories we have covered so far in the previous
chapters. Each problem listed in this chapter
brings a unique problem and solution will not
only save money but make life much easier and
better.
PROJECT 1: VEHICLE TRACKING SYSTEM BASED ON GPS
AND GSM
Introduction and Objectives
In the old days when we used to order some food from a restaurant, we had to wait impatiently
without knowing the position of the delivery boy. However, times have changed now, food
delivery companies are using a vehicle tracking system to track their delivery boys. This helps
them to know the exact real-time location of their employees. In this project, we are also going
to build a GPS based vehicle tracking system which will be based on the ATMega16 microcon-
troller. This system will be using GPS and GSM to function.
Methods
Our project will be a much cheaper solution than using a two-way GPS communication
system where the communication part is done through only GPS satellites. Whereas, our
project will only be using a GPS device, while the two communication will be done through a
GSM modem. The GSM modem with a SIM card in the tracker will be acting just like a regular
cell phone.
After completing this chapter, you will be able to:
• Learn the practical use of IoT sensors and frameworks
• Understand the design process to implement an IoT project
• Learn challenges which may come during design or implementation
phase; and
• Learn techniques to combine multiple technologies to solve social
problems
