AbstractIn the present days, chattel crimes are increasing rapidly. Around 10 million cases are recorded annually. Vehicle crime is a predominant criminal activity observed globally. This is causing a panic to the owners of the vehicles in terms of monetary loss and mental agony. To curb this, many researchers have bought out several preventive measures in terms of security during the fleet. The present work is a step towards providing security to vehicles under the control of the owner. The proposed work is implemented by incorporating IoT platforms for the safety and security of the vehicles. The present work is implemented by incorporating a GPS module in the vehicle. Once the vehicle is missing, the owner gets an alert message on the mobile. The message received the geographical location of the vehicle. On receiving the message, the owner enters into the mobile app and clicks on the “STOP” button which locks the engine instantly.
