Smart Authentication and Secured Engine Unlocking System for Automobiles

Abstract

As human life started to evolve on this earth, the craving for smart automobiles has increased, and adding a vehicle security system to secure the automobile from theft in parking and in unsecured places is important. This paper proposes the design and development of smart system to prevent theft that uses biometric authentication to access the door and to start the engine of the automobile. This system initially uses the fingerprint module that takes the real time fingerprint of a person trying to open the vehicle door and compares it with the authorized person’s fingerprint and then allows or denies the access to door, and secondly the camera takes the image of a person trying to start the engine and compares with the authorized person’s image to allow or deny the access to the engine. In case of detection of unauthorized fingerprint, the GSM module sends the message to the owner and in case unauthorized person detected by camera it sends the captured image with alert message to owner. The system is developed using raspberry pi, GSM module, fingerprint module, pi camera, dc and servo motor.
