Abstract: Tracking and monitoring systems are a necessity and are widely used in various industries and fields for security and supervision purposes. Particularly in vehicle monitoring perspectives, it is considered a sophisticated technology that is conducted and designed to monitor and manage the location and status of the vehicles in real-time settings. Different methods are employed to ensure monitoring and tracking, also to enhance robustness and security. These methods include onboard devices, GPS, and cellular networks. Therefore, this paper’s hardware aspect consists of a very reliable, compacted, reasonable priced tracking device mounted on vehicles or any trackable bodies, this device is connected to the web application databases, the web application has databases for users and their information, irregularities, and maps where each user is marked on the map with the real-time position. The proposed system used an Arduino-based ESP8266 microcontroller and a NEO-6M-Ublox GPS receiver module we can receive the latitude and longitude from satellites then send the information via WIFI to a Database where this data will be processed to not only mark the exact real-time location but also saving these locations in case of any irregularities, do other helpful functions. The experimental results have shown that a low-cost tracking system managed by an easy-to-use Web application. Although the error range for the system is about (8-10) meters, depending on weather and terrain, many companies can make great use of such systems, fleet companies, taxi companies, delivery companies, and vehicle rental companies.
