Abstract
In recent times, vehicle tracking systems have been introduced to reduce the number of
stolen items such as phones, cars, or other devices. As years go by, these tracking devices
are improved with additions such as vehicle monitoring components to ensure the safety of
drivers. Such components include temperature sensors, fuel sensors, motion sensors, and
many others. This paper encompasses designing and implementing an anti -theft vehicle
tracking system using Arduino nano 33 BLE sense, GPS, and LoRa technology. The main
components of the device include an Arduino nano 33 BLE sense, a GPS module, a LoRa
transceiver, and a gateway. The Arduino nano BLE sense is embedded with a proximity
sensor; the temperature sensor detects temperatures in the vehicle for the owner to be alerted
when the temperature in the car rises above normal. The reading from the proximity sensor
also enables the device to alert the owner when motion is detected around the car. The
Arduino is interfaced with the other main components and placed inside the vehicle to be
tracked. When the car is accessed, the user gets a notification and can turn the car's fuel
tank which is represented by a DC motor in this project.
