Design and Implementation of GPS-LoRa Tracking System with LCD Interface

Traditional GPS tracking systems rely on cellular networks, limiting their utility in remote or rural areas and often incurring high data costs.This project report introduces an innovative GPS tracking system that leverages LoRa (Long Range) technology to overcome these limitations.The system combines a GPS module, which captures real-time geographical coordinates, with a LoRa module that facilitates long-range, low-power wireless data transmission.Utilizing Arduino-compatible hard ware and open-source software, the design comprises a transmitter unit that gathers and sends data, and a receiver unit that processes and displays the location information on various interfaces.This architecture not only ensures reliable tracking without cellular dependency but also offers significant benefits such as cost-effectiveness, energy efficiency, and customization potential.Applications of this system include wildlife monitoring, asset tracking, hiking safety, disaster management, and agricultural oversight.Overall, the report demonstrates the viability of a LoRa-basedGPStrackerasarobustalternativeforIoTtrackinginareaswheretraditionalmethods are impractical.
