from experiments are shown to show how successful the
suggested system is.[5]
Advantages:
This system is designed to work even when the user’s
head position or field of view changes.
Disadvantages:
Theoretically verified, But practical implementation is
not discussed.
The methodology in [6] outlines the development of a
GPS, GSM, and Arduino-based real-time car tracking and
monitoring device. With the use of two software apps, Thing
Speak and Freeboard, users can access the device's display to
see their vehicle's current location on a mobile device via the
internet. When it comes to how vehicle position is displayed,
Thing Speak uses longitude and latitude charts, but Freeboard
uses maps. In real-time testing, it was demonstrated that the
system is helpful in assisting users in locating their
automobiles in the event of theft. The system's objective is to
give customers greater freedom in tracking and managing
personal information and tangible assets, especially when it
comes to transportation networks.
Advantages:
This model helps in real-time tracking of vehicles and
theft prevention.
Disadvantages:
It involves usage of IoT Devices and GPS devices
which will become expensive to implement in large scale
situations.

V. CONCLUSION
In conclusion, the development of the “Ration Van
Tracking” app has addressed a number of problems faced by
users of the door delivery scheme in the State of AP. By
using GPS tracking, the app has improved the efficiency and
effectiveness of the delivery process, reducing the number of
missed or delayed deliveries. In addition, the app has
provided users with a convenient and user-friendly way to
access information about their deliveries and provide
feedback on the delivery scheme. Overall, the “Ration Van
Tracking” app has demonstrated the potential for
technological solutions to improve the delivery of essential
goods and services to the general public. Our Future Work
concentrates on enhancing the app’s security and adding
support for other platforms, such as iOS or Windows, to
reach a wider audience.
