| Summary: | Untraceable theft equipment is one of the
problems faced by university campus. Some of these stolen
equipments are untraceable due to their small size and
portability. Lack of real-time notification and tracking
ability of the stolen equipment prevents prompt and
effective actions to be taken. Therefore, an system needs to
be deployed within the campus that makes it possible to
track down equipments once they are stolen.
The purpose of this research work is to design and
develop automatic location identification (ALI) system for
security purpose based on the GPS technology. The
coverage area of the tracking is within the Universiti
Malaysia Sarawak (UNIMAS) area. This research work
involves stages such as creating an electronic map of the
campus, identification and set up of the hardware that is
used to communicate between the GPS receiver and the
server and finally developing a program that can perform
the calculation and mapping operations. Research
methodology will be explained in this paper and detailed
process of the development of the system will be described.
The developed system allows real-time notification in the
event of equipment being stolen and has the ability to
perform automatic tracking once the equipment is taken
away from a predetermined parameter. It also has
function that can record the movement history of the
equipment for the purpose of later analysis. Due to its
simplicity and low-cost, the system can be easily developed
and applied in order to prevent the occurrences of
equipment being stolen. |
