Vehicle electronics plays a major role in the application of automotives and it is highly applicable in preserving the human lives. Enormous technologies are involved in the field of vehicle applications by electronics. Much kind of sensors are implemented in the vehicle and it is used in the real time applications effectively. In this paper, a real-time automobile tracking system via Google Earth is presented. The system included two main components: a transmitting embedded module to interface in-vehicle GPS and GSM devices in order determine and Send automobile location and status information via SMS. The second stationary module is a receiving module to collect and process the transmitted information to a compatible format with Google Earth to remotely monitor the automobile location and status online. The transmit location of the vehicle has been filtered using Kalman filter to achieve accurate tracking. The 2DRMS accuracy of estimated vehicle coordinates has been enhanced. The accuracy of filter coordinates was less than 15 meters compared to about 43 meters for transmitted co-ordinates received by in vehicle GPS module. Panic switch use to control the sending information. Radiation jammer use to control the incoming calls when driving.
