Vehicle Anti-Theft Detection and Protection with Air Quality IoT Notification

Abstract

The crime related to vehicle theft has been a tremendous rise with burglar’s becoming smarter every day. This generates an crucial need for an effective vehicle theft diagnosis system. In this paper, a compact, cheap and efficient system is studied, designed and explored using Raspberry Pi as the core processing unit of the whole system. Sensors data of Passive Infra-Red (PIR) motion sensor, pressure sensor, gas sensor, including Global Positioning System (GPS), Pi camera, buzzer and a Liquid Crystal Display (LCD) display are collected by embedded Linux system. The device functions in two modes: User mode and Theft mode. The gadget has ability of detecting intrusion and on detection will ring an alarm and send coordinates to the user’s assigned E-mail. The device will send the latitude and longitudinal details to the user’s e-mail along with the captured image using remote sensing whenever there is an intrusion or if the device is displaced after a certain threshold as in the case of bike theft wherein the complete vehicle can be effortlessly displaced without starting the engine or deactivating physical locks. It is easy to locate the vehicle and get accurate position on Google Maps using this design. This paper explores the possibility of a compact, versatile, viable, cheap and efficient vehicle theft detection system.
