Design and Implementation of a Mobile Devices-Based Real-Time Location Tracking

This paper proposes a real-time location tracking system using a GPS module for different mobile devices and multiple users. It focuses on the management and observation of a majority of people can be foretold. Traditional RF, wireless ATM networks, or wireless cellular radio networks-based location tracking services encounter challenges. These include poor radio link quality and resource consumption (i.e., radio bandwidth) due to the users´ mobility, thus necessitating managing their position. Our proposal can service a real-time location tracking service for multiple parties using TCP/IP wireless Internet protocol and GPS application in a mobile environment. The user may acquire and manage location information of specified subjects, who require individual care in real-time. Such users include those requiting specific protective measures, children, and the elderly. The proposed GPS and wireless network-based real-time location tracking system may be extended to various application domains that detect user location information and utilize this anytime, anywhere.
