Abstract:
Object tracking systems plays a vital role in monitoring and surveillance systems. The main target of location tracking systems is to provide object locations at real time with exact accuracy using personalized setup and location sensitivities. Shipping industries at first developed tracking systems to determine ship location at a given time. But those location data used to be stored in local storage which is accessible only when the ship is arrived. But with the flow of time and advancement of technology, now we want to know object location at real time. As the local storage cannot provide real time data, we moved to server based systems for real time data parsing. Today we have smart devices like android phones that can detect location data by itself. But to share and monitor those data we need an online system. Here comes the server based location tracking system. But many factors like battery consumption, data load cost, accuracy of data make this system a bit complex. We have tried to solve these problems and improve existing systems by proposing an android based framework that uses cloud services for real time data storage and processing and firebase cloud messaging for device to device communication at real time. We also propose a cost and energy efficient framework for android devices for location tracking and data transmiting.
