Nowadays vehicle tracking is an important topic in research and development. A vehicle tracking system is an electronic device installed in a vehicle to enable the owner or a third party to track the vehicle's location. The main objective of this paper is to create a system for a particular company or school to keep track of their vehicle and even see the route of the vehicle for a particular cluster on their own maps. This paper is proposed to design a vehicle tracking system that works using GPS and GSM technology. It will keep track of the employee and driver of the company. And also gives shortest path to the driver using Dijkstra’s algorithm. This is often used to quickly respond on events in the field such as emergency cases like accident, system faults. This design will continuously monitor a moving Vehicle and report the status of the Vehicle on demand. A GSM modem is used to send the position (Latitude and Longitude) of the vehicle from a remote place. The GPS modem will continuously give the data i.e. the latitude and longitude indicating the position of the vehicle.
