Popis: A hybrid location and tracking system designed for near real-time location monitoring of persons or objects in an outdoor environment is presented in this paper. The proposed system follows a client-server architecture, which confers flexibility and modularity characteristics. The client is represented by a System-on-chip (SOC) device, namely Raspberry Pi, equipped with a Global Positioning System (GPS) module and an USB 3G modem, configuration which ensures both localization and 3G (the 3 rd Generation of Mobile Communications) capabilities. This approach provides three mechanisms for retrieving the current location: based on the GPS module, based on 3G triangulation and based on the serving cell location, hence the hybrid characteristic of the system. The remote monitoring feature is ensured by a server which can be accessed over the internet. Its purpose is to host the database in which the tracking information is stored and to provide a reliable web framework which ensures that end-users can access this information remotely, via a dedicated web-page or a smartphone application.
