Introduction and Objectives the Study
Global Positioning System or often abbreviated as GPS is a location-determining technology that is
widely used today. GPS is a radio navigation system that determines the location using satellites [2]
[3]. This GPS system can monitor and find out the location of an object to be known anywhere on
the entire surface GPS systems can be used by anyone for free, provided they have the necessary
equipment and software. Many applications can be developed with this GPS system, including
applications that can help to monitor (track) motor vehicles. Using GPS technology makes it
possible to follow the vehicle trail and support notifications to be able to follow the latest vehicle
and travel information [4].
Brief Summary of the Journal
The development of technology has increasingly sophisticated and has a positive influence on
human life. The location tracking system that is currently overgrowing in the world of technology is
required to be able to serve consumers until consumers can benefit from the technology. Given the
number of thefts in Indonesia is currently increasing and the need for a security system that can
work continuously automatically. Therefore, the purpose of this research is to make the location
tracking system as expected by the community. Based on the testing that has been done on the tool
and see the purpose of this research, it can be concluded that this tool has been tested and can be
used to help secure systems to track valuable tools such as motorcycles, bags, cars, etc. based on
Global Positioning System (GPS) coordinates sent by SIM 800L module to numbers destination of
cellphone. This section will discuss the testing of the performance of the GPS Tracker tool that has
been made. This tool is tested based on messages sent to cell phones, messages with Google Maps
addresses when GPS does not receive signals, messages when GPS receives signals and messages
when the tracking device is reset via SMS.
Methodology
Monitoring and Maintenance: Monitor the system to ensure it is functioning correctly and address
any issues or bugs that may arise. Maintain the system by updating software components, adding
new features, or scaling the system to accommodate more users and devices
Deployment: Deploy the location tracking system on the desired devices, such as smartphones,
tablets, or other mobile devices. Ensure that the system is accessible to users and that they can
easily send and receive location updates via SMS.
Technology Used
GPS (Global Positioning System): GPS is a satellite-based navigation system that provides accurate
location and time information. It consists of a network of satellites and receivers that communicate
with each other to determine the location of a device
Cloud Computing: Cloud computing is a technology that enables users to access computing
resources, such as storage, processing power, and applications, over the internet on a pay-per-use
basis. It can be used to provide a scalable and cost-effective location tracking system that can
handle large volumes of data and users.
Conclusions
Based on the previous descriptions it can be concluded: a. The design of this tool can be applied
with the ability to track location. The location of the coordinates obtained by the tracking device is
sent via SMS by an 800L SIM. The message sent in the form of a Google Maps address can be directly
accessed via the internet. This tool can be used as a learning media for students who have creative
ideas so that they can create more innovative safety system tools. b. The ability of the Ublox Neo 6-
M GPS module in capturing parallel signals depends on the location where the tracking device is
located. Coordinates are easy to obtain if the location of the device is outdoors. If the device is in
the room, it will be challenging to get coordinate signals. c. The ability of the Ublox Neo 6-M GPS
module in capturing parallel signals depends on the location where the tracking device is
located. Coordinates are easy to obtain if the location of the device is outdoors. If the device is in
the room, it will be challenging to get coordinate signals.
Recommendations
When starting to turn on the tracking device, the coordinates received from the Ublox Neo 6-M GPS
module are long enough in the room, so it needs to wait a few minutes. So it is not recommended
to place a tracking device in the room
Association to your recent thesis
This article focuses on developing a location tracking system via SMS based on GPS, it provides
insights into some technologies and methodologies that can be useful in developing other types of
location-based systems, such as a room locator system with schedule and time with SMS
notification. Here's how:
GPS: While the room locator system does not necessarily require GPS, it can be used to provide
outdoor navigation and location updates. Incorporating GPS into the system can provide more
accurate location updates and enable users to navigate to specific rooms or locations within a
building.
SMS: SMS can be used to send notifications to users about room locations, schedules, and times.
This can be especially useful in large buildings or campuses where it can be difficult to find specific
rooms or locations without guidance or directions. By incorporating these technologies and
methodologies into the development process, you can create an efficient, reliable, user-friendly,
location-based system such as room locator system with schedule & time via SMS notification,
which can provide users with accurate location updates, schedules, times, directions, maps, etc., in
real-time, making it easier for them navigate large buildings or campuses, especially in unfamiliar
locations or environments, which can save time, effort, frustration, etc., for users while enhancing
their overall experience using such systems or services!
