Abstract: This work focuses on the design and implementation of a computer system capable of tracking the position of a vehicle in real time and recording its different positions during a journey. Thanks to such a system, the owner of the vehicle will be kept informed of the various past locations of his vehicle but also of other additional information which will be provided to him by the system, for example the total distance traveled by the vehicle, etc. To succeed in designing such a system, we used two technologies: GPS and GSM (GPRS). GPS is a technology that, thanks to a constellation of satellites orbiting the earth, allows us to obtain the geographical location of a place (or geographical coordinates including latitude, longitude and altitude). GSM, on the other hand, refers to the cellular network which serves as a transmission medium for conveying the geographical coordinates freshly collected. Concretely, the vehicle will be equipped with an embedded system consisting of an Arduino card, a GPS chip and a GSM/GPRS expansion card. This on-board system will send the geographical coordinates to a computer server in which is installed a database intended to store this data. Thanks to a web application linked to this database, the owner will be able to track his vehicle.

Abstract: (french)
Ce travail s’intéresse à la conception et la réalisation d’un système informatique capable de suivre la position d’un véhicule en temps réel et d’enregistrer ses différentes positions lors d’un parcours. Grâce à un tel système, le propriétaire du véhicule sera tenu au courant des différents emplacements passés de son véhicule mais aussi d’autres informations supplémentaires qui lui seront fournies par le système par exemple la distance totale parcouru par le véhicule, etc. Pour parvenir à concevoir un tel système nous avons eu recours à deux technologies: le GPS et le GSM (GPRS). Le GPS est une technologie qui grâce à une constellation de satellites en orbite autour de la terre nous permet d’obtenir l’emplacement géographique d’un lieu (ou coordonnées géographiques incluant la latitude, la longitude et l’altitude). Le GSM quant à lui fait référence au réseau cellulaire qui nous sert de support de transmission pour acheminer les coordonnées géographiques fraichement recueillies. Concrètement, le véhicule sera équipé d’un système embarqué composé d’une carte Arduino, d’une puce GPS et d’une carte d’extension GSM/GPRS. Ce système embarqué enverra les coordonnées géographiques vers un serveur informatique dans lequel est installée une base de données prévu pour stocker ces données. Grâce à une application web reliée à cette base de données, le propriétaire pourra faire le suivi de son véhicule.
