Design and implementation of mobile vehicle monitoring system based on android smartphone

We mainly present the design and implement a mobile vehicle monitoring system using android smartphones. Users can observe the their vehicles´ information using a mobile screen anytime, anywhere. Our proposed design is composed of small the GPS/GNSS receiver terminal, modern data acquisition modem, cellular data transmission network, and the smartphone application. We comprehensively discuss the key technologies in terms of hardware and software aspects employed in the system including posible indoor positioning wireless technologies. The designed system in the paper is implemented and tested in practical experiments. Experimental results have proved that the proposed monitoring system is correct and feasible for vehicle owners.
