This research developed a vehicle tracking and control system aimed at improving fleet management efficiency in Batam. The problem addressed was the lack of an integrated solution that combined location monitoring, remote control, and service management for vehicles. The system integrated the ESP8266 microcontroller as the control unit, a Ublox Neo 6M GPS module for location tracking, a relay for engine control, and a SIM/GSM module for communication via HTTP. Data were stored in a PostgreSQL server and visualized using a web application developed with Node.js, Next.js, and Leaflet.js. The research objectives were to design, implement, and test a system capable of real-time vehicle monitoring, speed detection, and remote engine shutdown, accessible through a web browser on both computers and mobile devices. Testing was carried out using a motorcycle in the Batam Center area, showing that GPS readings, relay control, and data transmission were successfully executed. The highest longitude error observed was 0.000022, which remained within acceptable tolerance. The findings demonstrated that the system provided accurate and reliable vehicle tracking while offering practical solutions for fleet control. In conclusion, the developed system supported efficient vehicle management and could be further enhanced for broader fleet applications in urban areas.
