With increasing demand for real-time vehicle tracking, cloud-based solutions are being developed, integrating IoT technologies with web applications. This study proposes a complete vehicle tracking setup using Firebase for real-time data synchronisation and OpenStreetMap for the visualisation of vehicle location. With an ESP32 microcontroller, the vehicle forwards GPS data, both latitude and longitude, to a cloud database; users then can monitor the movements of the vehicle through a dynamic web interface. Important features include secure user authentication, geofencing capabilities, and instant notifications on predefined events. Solutions to problems regarding data accessibility and system scalability provide evidence that IoT-enabled vehicle tracking systems can improve public safety and assist law enforcement. The results suggest that the integration of these hardware and software technologies would be instrumental in formulating solutions for challenges in modern-day security.
