An IOT Based Vehicle Theft Detection and Remote Engine Locking System

Abstract

Abstract: An IoT based vehicle theft detection and remote engine locking system is GSM (Global System for Mobile Communication) technology that helps the users to identify the vehicle in the theft mode and allow you to use the controlling mechanism technique. These days, there are a ton of cars being stolen. It's a big problem because crime rates are going up, and it's making it harder to keep vehicles safe. Criminals are becoming smarter and have reached the stage of applications present against the vehicles safety system. Vehicle theft has become a considerable issue which should be traced and prevented. The new system solves many problems and is affordable. Also the proposed system reducing complications by making use of some high priced products like ignition key, microcontroller. In the proposed method, we include an additional feature where controlling mechanisms remotely lock the vehicle engine and prevent theft. In proposed technique, user can start/stop the vehicle either by using the ignition key, which tracks exact location of the vehicle using the application. This paper talks about a great anti-theft system for vehicles. It uses Global Positioning System(GPS),Global System for Mobile Communication(GSM),and Biometrics technologies(i.e fingerprint ) to find the vehicle and confirm the owner's identity. Fingerprint device captures the fingerprints and matches the distinctiveness of every print scan by the device and compares it to the one keeps in its module or native system database.
