This paper describes the design, implementation and performance evaluation of a wireless sensor network based scalable outdoor vehicular tracking system. The system is highly flexible and configurable both from software and hardware architecture point of views and enables it to adapt to a wide range of vehicle tracking applications. We also present some intermediate results and the rationale behind our design approach. The system was tested for a network of 100 nodes and is scalable to a few thousand node setup. We believe that the vehicle localization and tracking results from our large scale deployment of sensor nodes and system design experience are useful to the community
