Vehicle Tracking System (VTS) is the technology used to determine the location of a vehicle
using different methods like GPS and other radio navigation systems operating through satellites and
ground based stations. By triangulation methods the tracking system enables to calculate easy and
accurate location of the vehicle. Vehicle information like location details, speed, distance traveled etc.
can be viewed on a digital mapping with the help of a software via Internet. Even data can be stored and
downloaded to a computer from the GPS unit at a base station and that can later be used for analysis.
This system is an important tool for tracking each vehicle at a given period of time and now it is
becoming increasingly popular for people having expensive cars and hence as a theft prevention and
retrieval device.
