Vehicle theft remains a significant issue in Malaysia, and existing anti-theft measures are often inadequate. A comprehensive system integrating Global Positioning System (GPS) tracking, OBD-II data extraction, and Global System for Mobile Communications (GSM)/General Packet Radio Service (GPRS) communication is needed to enhance vehicle security, enable real-time monitoring, and ensure responsible vehicle usage. This paper presents the development of a prototype vehicle tracking system aimed at enhancing vehicle security and providing real-time insights into vehicle usage. The system integrates GPS and GSM/GPRS modules with a web-based application to deliver features such as real-time location tracking, trip analysis, and telemetry monitoring. Designed for functionality and usability, the system includes automated data updates, interactive maps, and user-friendly interfaces for device registration and management. Evaluation through user surveys and technical testing revealed high user satisfaction, particularly for ease of registration and real-time tracking. Technical testing highlighted the need for upgraded GPS and GSM/GPRS modules to address signal reliability and connectivity issues. The results demonstrate the feasibility of creating cost-effective vehicle tracking solutions using widely available hardware and open-source tools. This work lays the foundation for future advancements in vehicle tracking technologies, offering potential improvements in vehicle safety, fleet management, and user confidence.
