Abstract

The vehicle security system is a critical part of an entire car system in order to prevent unauthorized access into the car. As the statistic has shown that the number of cases of the private car being stolen is increasing and the recovery rate is decreasing sharply, it shows that the car security system failed to perform to prevent unauthorized access. Most of the vehicle security system simply consists of a few door-open detection switches, siren, and remote control to protect the car, which appears to be weak against experienced car theft. Therefore, the project is carried out to develop a vehicle security system that can measure the dynamic acceleration inside the vehicle using the ADXL345 accelerometer and locate the coordinate of the vehicle by using U-Blox Neo-6M GPS receiver. In order to evaluate the performance of the proposed vehicle security system, the experiment to determine the most suitable position among the four places inside a car to place the device was conducted. Then, the performance analysis of the GPS receiver for accurate tracking also was done. The results showed that the most suitable position to place the device is inside the center of the car dashboard and the GPS receiver has a mean cold start-up time of 5 minutes 47 seconds and hot start-up time of 11.72 seconds, with a standard deviation of 0.000003706° in latitude and 0.000002762° in longitude for position tracking.

Highlights

The vehicle security system is a critical part of an entire car system in order to prevent unauthorized access into the car
The statistic shown that the number of cases of the private car being stolen is increasing year by year, it shows that the car security system failed to perform to prevent unauthorized access[1,2]
The vibration of the car engine causes this condition during starting, as the engine of the Proton CPS engine used in the testing car is an inline engine, the piston moves upward and downward for each burning cycle, which causes the vibration at the Z-axis

Summary

Introduction

The vehicle security system is a critical part of an entire car system in order to prevent unauthorized access into the car. Most of the car security system failed to prevent car theft. Starting from the first case of car theft in the year 1896, the number of cars being stolen has been raised rapidly. The statistic of the number of stolen private cars in Malaysia is increased drastically from 1980 to 2010 there is some decrease in the stolen cases for some years the number of cases is raised rapidly overall. The statistic shown that the number of cases of the private car being stolen is increasing year by year, it shows that the car security system failed to perform to prevent unauthorized access[1,2]. The study conducted in 2009 in the United Kingdom, most cases happen when the car keys are being stolen in the burglary, which is 37% [2]. The conclusion that 72% of the cases are related to car keys (Other using keys 12%, Keys stolen in burglary 37%, Keys stolen in robbery 5%, Keys left in car 18%) which reflects that car keys failed to protect the car[3,4,5]
