There are many objects in various field such as transportation, industry and
smartphone that can be tracked. The purpose of this thesis is to analyze the performance
of Global Positioning System (GPS) tracking system using Firebase application
for haulage transport object. The current location of the object is monitored by
administrator on website. The content on the website is a database and visualization
of coordinates for maps.
This final task is designed as a tool that connects between a microcontroller and
a GPS module as well as map visualizations of the coordinate points received by
the GPS module. This tool has a tracking system function in which the database is
continuously updated until power is depleted.
In general, components used to allow the tracking process to occur are the
Global Positioning System (GPS) receiver, Raspberry Pi as microcontroller, and
computer as the control unit. This tool is applied to the truck to protect the appliance
from rain and also provide Tracking function. By using a Global System for
Mobile Communications (GSM)-based modem, the tool can work with a relatively
long range of distances. As for the tracking function found from the Neo-6M module
which is a tool equipped with an antenna so that it can receive the Coordinate
point of the satellite, the Coordinate point received by the Raspberry Pi directly in
the database where the database is configured in Firebase realtime-database (FRD).
The results obtained after designing the tool are smaller data transmission interval,
then higher the accuracy received. The packet loss is 0 even though the object
passes through the tunnel at different speeds. This indicates that QoS (Quality Of
Service) obtained is good QoS.
