LOCATION TRACKING APPLICATION USING WIRELESS SENSOR NETWORK

Abstract

Location tracking system have been facing limitation of GPS connectivity at low network coverage area, where the system unable to attain the necessity. The highly demand technology that are being top option on developing a location tracking system is Wireless Sensor Network (WSN). WSN has been widely used in many platforms such as monitoring device which able to collect data and information from a specific location which may be temperature, pressure, humidity or movements. WSN is a technology which has high number of small, reasonable price, low powered and multifunctional sensor nodes that will be deployed in specific site. Those nodes have wireless communication ability with the other nodes . WSN could be the best solution which is reasonable cost and low powered device. Thus, WSN could be highly recommended to be used to enhance the existing tracking technology which perform poorly in some low network coverage area.
