GPS tracking on ID cards is not a common practice. GPS trackers are typically separate devices rather than integrated into ID cards.
A GPS tracking ID card combines traditional identification features with GPS technology to provide real-time location tracking of the cardholder. Here are some features commonly associated with GPS tracking ID cards:
Identification Features:
Photo and Personal Information: Like a regular ID card, it includes a photo of the cardholder and relevant personal information such as name, date of birth, and other identification details.
Barcode or QR Code: To facilitate quick scanning and verification by security personnel.
GPS Tracking Technology:
Embedded GPS Chip: The ID card contains a small GPS chip that allows it to transmit location data.
Real-Time Tracking: Provides continuous and real-time location updates of the cardholder.
Power Source:
Battery: A built-in rechargeable battery is usually included to power the GPS chip. The battery life may vary based on usage and the frequency of location updates.
Communication Module:
Cellular or Satellite Connectivity: The card may use cellular networks or satellite communication to transmit location data to a central server.
User Interface:
Web Interface or Mobile App: Users (and authorized personnel) can track the location of the ID card through a web interface or a dedicated mobile application.
Geofencing:
Customizable Boundaries: Geofencing allows the user to set virtual boundaries. If the card moves outside these predefined areas, alerts can be triggered.
Emergency Buttons:
Panic or SOS Button: An emergency button on the card that, when pressed, sends an immediate alert to a predefined contact or monitoring center.
Tamper Detection:
Tamper-Evident Features: The card may have features to detect and alert if someone tries to tamper with or remove the GPS tracking components.
Data Security:
Encryption: Ensures that the location data transmitted from the ID card to the central server is secure and not prone to interception.
Privacy Controls:
User Permissions:
Allows the cardholder to control who can access their location information and under what circumstances.
Integration with Existing Systems:
API Integration:
The ability to integrate with existing identification systems, security systems, or databases.
Compliance with Regulations:
Privacy Regulations: Adherence to data protection and privacy regulations to ensure the lawful use of location data.
