Desarrollo de un dispositivo para localización y obtención de parámetros de vehículos mediante una aplicación móvil

Abstract

This project refers to the development of a device for locating and obtaining vehicle parameters through a mobile application through the implementation of an IoT network (internet of things for its acronym in English) with the purpose of locating a device that provides its exact location via built-in GPS, using (1) a micro-controlled embedded system, (2) a cloud server, and (3) a web service with a graphical interface. The microcontrolled [embedded] system is in charge of acquiring location data through a GPS sensor and internet connection through a GSM network [monitoring the geoposition data acquired by a sensor], processes the information, keeps the system in sleep mode in order to save energy and is responsible for uploading the data obtained to a server in the cloud. The cloud service communicates to the micro-controlled system using the GSM network. For this service, computing capacity has been rented in a company and with the help of programs developed and executed on it, it is possible to monitor the microcontrolled device. This service includes tasks on MQTT, which allow the transmission and association of data from the microcontroller to the web service. The web service built on the server in the cloud fulfills the purpose of presenting the ordered information with the help of a graphical interface. This interface allows you to view the location of the device on a map in real time, either on a computer or a mobile phone with Internet access, which ensures continuous monitoring of the place where the device is located, as long as when it is turned on.
