Tracking and Emergency Detection of Inland Vessel using GPS-GSM System

Tracking Inland Vessel in water is a challenging task, to avoid accidents due to route change. In this paper, a standard technology is considered, for tracking inland vessel so that the accidents in the sea can be avoided. A system is designed to detect and to constantly monitor the vessel and if the vessel is in danger an alert message can be sent to a rescue team by a base station where the vessel is been monitored. A Microcontroller 89s52, GPS, GSM, Ultrasonic Sensor, Vibration Sensor, Wireless Camera and RF Controllers are used to design this system. To provide communication GSM network is used and GPS is used to locate the vessel in the water. Vibration sensor is used to detect the vibrations within the water and Ultrasonic sensor is used to detect the object which is near to the vessel to avoid collision. Wireless Camera is linked between the base station and vessel and is used to continuously monitor the vessel. To provide communication between microcontroller and integrated devices to the Microcontroller Kiel Software is used and the prototype designed is tested.
