During a threat, tracking men/women from any location at any time is considered as extremely beneficial. Using the Global Positioning System (GPS) and Global System for Mobile Communications (GSM) technology, a real-time Google map and Arduino based tracking system is implemented. Geographic coordinates are provided by the GPS module periodically. When a person's location is transmitted, the GSM module sends the latitude and longitude of that location to their cell phone. Finally, a cell phone shows the place's name and location via Google map. This would enable owners/users to monitor moving people/vehicles using their cell phones. This research presents experimental results in order to demonstrate the system's feasibility and effectiveness. In spite of GPS technology's excellent accuracy, it's not always applicable due to technical restrictions, for instance limiting participants' views of the satellites when using public transportation, which is crucial. However, GSM is less accurate in terms of spatial accuracy. Incorporating both technologies could be the key to tracking individual's geographical information (origin, route, destination) in a more comprehensive way. Transportation research can be supported by both kinds of tracking technologies in numerous ways. A GPS/GSM system can be used to track women or children 24/7 respectively to interview them on site in real time. This system may also be employed on vehicles in order to prevent theft. This tracking system works for both business owners and individuals wanting to keep track of their fleets or to keep track of expensive assets in the field without having to be there physically. The vehicle's location (Latitude and Longitude) is communicated continuously from a remote location by means of a GSM modem. The GSM modem automatically returns a realtime latitude and longitude coordinates as a response to that particular mobile phone when a request by the user reaches the number in the GSM modem. On demand, this system will continuously monitor the status of a vehicle in motion.
