Introduction
Automatic Vehicle Locator (AVL) is a computer

based vehicle tracking system

The actual real time position of each vehicle is

determined and relayed to a control center

AVL systems include: computer -aided dispatch

software, mobile data terminals, emergency alarms, and digital communications

What is AVL Technology?

AVL systems use satellite and land communications to

display each vehicle's

location status heading speed on the computer's screen.

AVL System

Navigation Technologies
There are four types of NAVIGATION

TECHNOLOGIES: Global Positioning System

Dead-Reckoning System
Signpost Systems Radio Navigation Systems

About GPS:
The Global Positioning System (GPS) is a space-based satellite navigation system that

provides location and time information in all weather, anywhere on or near the Earth, where there is an unobstructed line of sight to four or more GPS satellites.

GPS Satellite

MORE ABOUT GPS..

There are six different orbiting patterns that the GPS satellites follow, making a complete trip around the earth every 12 hours.

MORE ABOUT GPS..

The best position for any

GPS antenna is generally as high as possible with the best unrestricted view.
The information regarding

the location of the transit vehicle is calculated by TRILATERATION method.

TRACKING SYSTEMS
There are two types of tracking systems

PASSIVE TRACKING
REAL TIME TRACKING

WORKING OF A GPS BASED AVL:

GPS SATELLITES

RADIO SYSTEMS

A GPS BASED AVL sYSTEM

MAPPING
Maps allow a tangible, understandable view of vehicles location and will also allow operators to apply local knowledge.

CURRENT LIMITATION OF EXISTING METHOD

User compulsory needs a computer to access lost

vehicle information.
User cannot decode GPS coordinates by himself.

AVL Benefits:

Uses Of AVL
Vehicle location display in real-time.
Recording of arrival and departure times (proof of

delivery etc).
Monitoring of driving practices (speed). Alerts if vehicle leaves or enters a defined area.

Applications Of AVL
In Military
Track Anything In Cargo

In cargo

Conclusion
By using GPS we can track the location of the vehicle
It is a cost effective and efficient technique It gives protection to the vehicles and also the accident

alerts
