Of Electronics and Communication, HKBKCE, Bangalore ABSTRACT Nowadays, there are lots of technologies growing in this world. The Smart Vehicle Data Logger can track the location of the vehicle travel using Global Positioning System (GPS) and store the information in the PC. Here user is allowed to trace the l ocation of the vehicle by asp.net application and in the backend of this application data is getting recorded and can be able to monitor, analyze or audit the logged data in the later stage. The application market for vehicular tracking and monitoring and wirel ess data logging using monitoring systems, digital video processing, recording and transmission is nowadays considered one of the most promising in the security area. keywords GPS, ASP.NET Google Mapping I. INTRODUCTION The word unmanned vehicle control system literally means that there is no person to control the direction of the vehicle. The purpose of this proposed project is to fulfill the requirement of a driver in vehicle control system which is achieved by the highly sophisticated embedded modules such as Tilt sensor and the RISC-Microcontroller Unit ARM7 (LPC2148). Also in this paper the Location of the vehicle is displayed in real time via Global Positioning System (GPS) and the images of the location are also transmitted to remote Base station through RF camera mounted on the vehicle. A database is maintained which stores the location through which the vehicle has passed as well as the video stream. The requirement of a driver in vehicle control systems is achieved by the Tilt sensor and the RISC-Microcontroller Unit ARM7 (LPC2148). Two modes, Manual and Auto start can be used for displaying the location of vehicle using Google Map. In Manual Mode the GPS data obtained in real time, is catered on the click by the user manually, advantage of this mode is that it has undefined key counts. In Auto start mode the Google provided real time keys are used so that the GPS data can be automatically obtained and location will be easily displayed. II.

Embedded Systems Programming Embedded systems programming is different from developing applications on a desktop computers. Key characteristics of an embedded system, when compared to PCs, are as follows: Embedded devices have resource constraints(limited ROM, limited RAM, limited stack space, less processing power) Components used in embedded system and PCs are different; embedded systems typically uses smaller, less power consuming components. Embedded systems are more tied to the hardware. 70
International Journal of Recent Advances in Science & Engineering Two salient features of Embedded Programming are code speed and code size. Code speed is governed by the processing power,timing constraints, whereas code size is governed by available program memory and use of programming language. Goal of embedded system programming is to get maximum features in minimum space and minimum time. B. KEIL Software Keil Micro Vision is an integrated development environment used to create software to be run on embedded systems(like a microcontroller, ARM).It allows for such software to be written either in assembly or C-programming languages and for that software to be simulated on a computer before being loaded onto the microcontroller.kiel also provides JTAG debugger and Evaluation Board. Keil JTAG debugger name is ULINK. This is used to connect development board with host machine via USB. New version of ULINK2 also support 8051 and C166 devices. KEIL also provide Real Time RTOS kernel, which is royalty free kernel. This kernel is designed for ARM and cortex M CPUs. C..NET The.NET Framework [4] is a software framework developed by Microsoft that runs primarily on Microsoft Windows. It includes a large library and provides language interoperability (each language can use code written in other languages) acros s several programming languages. Programs written for the.net Framework execute in a software environment (as contrasted to hardware environment), known as the Common Language Runtime (CLR), an application virtual machine that provides services such as security, memory management, and exception handling. The class library and the CLR together constitute the.net Framework. The.NET Framework's Base Class Library provides user interface, data access, database connectivity, cryptography, web application development, numeric algorithms, and network communications. Programmers produce software by combining their own source code with the.net Framework and other libraries. Fig 3.NET Framework The.NET Framework is intended to be used by most new applications created for the Windows platform. Microsoft also produces an integrated development environment largely for.net software called Visual Studio. D. ASP.NET ASP.NET [5] is a server-side Web application framework designed for Web development to produce dynamic Web pages. It was developed by Microsoft to allow programmers to build dynamic web sites, web applications and web services. It was first released in January 2002 with version 1.0 of the.net Framework, and is the successor to Microsoft's Active Server Pages (ASP) technology. ASP.NET is built on the Common Language Runtime (CLR), allowing programmers to write ASP.NET code using any supported.net language. The ASP.NET SOAP extension framework allows ASP.NET components to process SOAP messages. 71

CONCLUSION AND FUTURE SCOPE The incorporation of various technologies under one project has given the path to achieve goals which had not been realized in such an efficient manner in the past. These technologies bring about a selfrelying and able machine to tackle situations with indirect human involvement and ease a human s job in the present day scenarios. In future additional sensors such as Passive infrared sensors, thermal imaging, Gas sensor, can be added to enhance the capabilities of the UGV.Optical flow augmented with other image processing algorithms such as frame differencing, edge detection can be used to accomplish more reliable motion tracking.high end technology with higher resolving capabilities can be added to enhance the present functionality of the UGV. 72
