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 transmitting.
