The number of accidents is shooting upward daily along with the rising safety concerns while travelling. This research provides a solution for most of these problems with an Intelligent Vehicle Monitoring System Using Global Positioning System along with Google Maps and Cloud Computing which collects useful information about a vehicle. There are also various sensors which relay information like fuel level, driver conditions and tire pressure. The vital information like the vehicle location, speed is gathered by the GPS which is fitted in the vehicle and transmitted in near-real-time via cellular or satellite communication to a centralized server maintained in the cloud network. This information is then available for the authorized users in real time and each licensed vehicle owner can access the data in cloud using a web portal anytime anywhere. This system thus provides an accurate positioning of the vehicle, speed, driver's condition and provides an intelligent monitoring of the vehicle remotely. © 2015 The Authors.
