Abstract
This paper presents a monitoring/tracking system for water passenger vehicle such as vessels or ferries. Bangladesh is a land of rivers. Each and every year peoples die due to accidents in water vehicles. The rescue teams are unable to reach there on time due to the communication barriers which causes huge damages in life. On the other hand, some captains of ferries/vessels do not maintain the weather notifications as well as overload the vessels before leaving the terminal, which are the main reasons for accident listed by BIWTA. In this regard, we have proposed real time monitoring/tracking system for water vehicle. The system (continuously) monitors the status(such as geo-location, load information, the orientation etc.) of the vehicles and sends reports to the ground/control station. As a result, the ground station will always be aware of vehicle status. The details design and implementation of proposed system are also discussed in this paper. The proposed system increases the safety by reducing the number/chances of accidents.
