    Abstract :

    Vehicle tracking is a technique of finding the details of a vehicle like its current location, the time it will take to reach to its destination, its distance from the destination, its current speed etc. Two different techniques are applied to track the vehicle, one technique is using the Global Positioning System (GPS) which uses the set of satellites to locate the GPS device in the vehicle and the other technique uses the Base stations which determines the location based on the network of the mobile device in the vehicle and its nearest cell tower. Time management is very important in today's high tech world, Everyone wants to reach to its destination on time. Now a day's nearly 80% of the worlds populations are travelling by the public transports but the Public transport users always remains in thought that whether they will reach to their destination on time or not, because public transports like buses may got late due to some environmental conditions or by the traffic. So if the Bus got late passengers have to unknowingly wait for the bus to arrive for the indefinite time. There are many different techniques are used worldwide which uses the vehicle tracking system techniques to locate the vehicles, fleets of an organization etc. This papers looks into many different types of techniques used worldwide to track the vehicles.
