BIOMETRIC AND RFID BASED VEHICLE SECURITY SYSTEM

Abstract

Vehicle thefts has been an area of concern in the recent years. Especially the count of car thefts has taken a massive leap in the previous years. This proposed project deals with this issue in a more preferable way and ensures the safety of the vehicle. This system aims to create a simple biometric security system that protects the vehicle from unauthorized users. This system comprises of Arduino Nano along with EM18 RFID (Radio Frequceny Identification) and R305 Fingerprint sensor. The RFID module checks for the validity of the RFID tag code and permits to proceed further. Proceeding further the fingerprint sensor checks for the authenticity of the fingerprint and ignition takes place. This proposed project paves way for stopping unauthorized users from operating the vehicle without the consent of the respective owner of the vehicle. In addition to this three repeated attempts to start the vehicle will result in rising of an alarm to alert the owner. Furthermore a text message regarding this will be sent to the registered user through the GSM module present in the system.
