An Agile Security System for Automobiles using IoT

Abstract

Thieves are becoming smarter day-by-day which results in increase of looting of automobiles like scooters, cars and many other. To overcome this problem there is a crucial need for an effective system that diagnoses the vehicle theft. In this paper, an IoT based agile security system by using Raspberry Pi as the central processing unit of the entire system, a lightweight, cheap and efficient system is researched, built and explored. The Linux Embedded System gathers the data from Passive Infra-Red (PIR) motion sensors, pressure sensors, gas sensors, Global Positioning System (GPS), Pi camera, buzzer, and Liquid Crystal Display (LCD). The system has generally 2 modes. They are: Owner mode and Theft mode. If the system detects any intrusion in the vehicle it gives an alarm on detection, capture the image of the person by using image processing technique and identifies who is trying to unlock the vehicle and send coordinates of the vehicle when the intruder opens the vehicle door and starts moving the car, along with images of intruder to the owner by using a GSM module. By using GPS module, we can be to get the latitude and longitude of the vehicle remotely when the intruder has theft the vehicle.
