This will also help in finding out the efficiency of the driver in maintaining the time and skills in handling the vehicle. This will also help in finding out if the driver has exercised any non-business related works which has in-term delayed the trip. This will help the vehicle owners in tracking a device from a remote location anywhere anytime. This work also observes the driver well-being by observing the level of vehicle control, weariness anticipation by using EYE-BLINK and MEMS sensor [1]. By using these sensors, alerts will be given to the drivers when there is a possibility of disaster. These entire data of will be saved in cloud for processing in finding out ways to improve the vehicle and driver efficiency [2] [3]. The condition of vehicles can also be assessed using the cloud [4] data and special training can be given to drivers if their driving patterns are delaying the trips. 2. ARCHITECTURE Figure 1 System Architecture 3. VEHICLE TRACKING The most important module in the proposed system is to track the truck and monitor in web application using IoT devices. The vehicle direction is observed using accelerometer sensor or MEMS sensor [5][6]. The following framework gives the position of vehicles in a more accurately. The objective of this module is to track vehicles and screen the location details using the programming unit that gets the data and exchanges motion through GPS satellite[7] [8]. Programmed vehicle area framework utilized online, portable correspondence and Web based stage for correspondence. This framework empowers to gather and examine the data about area of vehicle progressively. It is equipped for following an extensive number of transports at the same time and distinguishes the stationary truck naturally. Tilt sensor is also used to check the condition of the vehicle, thereby alerting the system in case of any emergencies [9] [10]. A neural system obtains the satellite related data to get a yield flag illustrative of recipient related route data, where in the neural system involves one of the versatile learning for the blunder decrease and ideal count[11] [12]. This system enhances the normal precision of GPS flag gathering at the transport station. The constant vehicle monitoring framework includes GPS module deployed in the vehicles, which transmits the ongoing area of vehicle to the collector sheets deployed in the vehicle stops [13] [14].

SENSORS INTERFACING The framework is appropriate for screening transport vehicles movement in desktop, mobile, tablet devices inside open transport stations and can advise directors at whatever point the transport is touching base on time, ahead of time or behind time. Then the data is updated and displayed on the diverse remote inside and outside the transport station. The Versatile terminal unit is an installed framework containing RFID per user, GPS and a simple compass as information gadget to obtain area and position. The vehicle data can be seen on electronic guide by means of web programming. Alerts can also be sent using sensors which includes MEMS, Tilt and Eye-blink. MEMS can be used for direction observation. Tilt is used to determine whether the vehicle is in normal position. Eye blink is used to check the fatigue of the driver. These all sensors are interfaced in Arduino. GPS module is also incorporated with that. This level of mechanization is conceivable through an arrangement of calculations that utilizations GPS follows gathered from travel vehicle to decide the type of alerts encountered. It involves vehicle-mounted GPS beacons, a focal server framework and an online application. The area has to be checked graphically and significant alarms data of vehicle.

ALERT SYSTEM The proposed methodology will help users to track their vehicles remotely. The proposed vehicle tracking system will notify the location and route being travelled by vehicle. The information sent by tracking system can be viewed in any device, from any remote location. The accuracy of the location of the vehicle has been improved compared to existing methodologies. The user can track the vehicles in bad weather conditions also. The tracking system uses a tracking device with WSN using GPS tracking devices to manage, control and to know the identity and current location of the vehicle. Alerts given to the driver can also be viewed by the user from any remote location. Numerous methods are being used by various authors for vehicle tracking, vehicle monitoring and for the alerting driver and the system. These existing methods are deployed in different types of vehicles like bike, car, bud, truck, cargo lorry etc. [15]. The microcontroller obtains the data from the GPS module and transmits it to the control point with the help of WSN. In these existing methodologies GSM - Global System for Mobile & GPS - Global Positioning System are used to send information regarding the location and driver alerts to the cloud server. Using this data the vehicle can be tracked and stop anywhere in case of emergency. The Real time passenger information system uses various technologies to track location of vehicles like bus, train etc., in real-time to generate predictions of vehicle arrival time at a particular stop along the travel route. This system can also be used for real time tracking of vehicles, monitor the passengers in the vehicle, predict arrival time at a particular stop and send all these information to the base station. In the proposed system, the performance and accuracy of tracking is improved by using WSN. Google Map is used in the proposed methodology for tracking. The proposed system comes with both the advantages and complexity of Google maps. This proposed system tracks the location of the vehicles and send alerts to the drivers but doesn t predict the arrival time of the vehicle. The observation and experimental results, it is proved that the proposed system overcomes the problems in the existing system. Tracking accuracy and the reader efficiency are also increased with operating frequency and extending the range of the reader.
