Automatic Car Theft Detection System Based on GPS and GSM Technology

Abstract

An efficient automotive security system is implemented for anti-theft using an embedded system integrated with Global Positioning System (GPS) and Global System for Mobile Communication (GSM. System presented has Two types of tracking, one is online tracking with GPS system can only receive the vehicle location information from satellites and other is offline tracking. GSM system is installed in the vehicle for sending the information to the owner of the vehicle. The preventive measures like engine ignition cutoff is installed in the vehicle which is controlled using user or owner GSM mobile. The owner can lock or unlock his/her vehicle with the help of SMS. The system is implemented on general purpose printed circuit board (PCB) Using Arduino.

Vehicle Anti-Theft Back-Up System using RFID Implant Technology

“…In the same way, as shown in the project of [9] where the information received from the devices is transmitted to the owner of the vehicle by means of text messages and in the same way actions can be performed by sending commands by this means. This type of implementation is visually productive for the user to be aware of what is happening in his vehicle, although the fact that the owner has to enter the commands for the system to perform a particular action can be counterproductive at times when the user is emotionally upset or otherwise forget the exact words for the development of the action in mind.…”

“…This project was developed through the use of RFID implants which have been selected according to the characteristics of frequency and distance for the proper functioning of the project [6]. In the same way the Arduino device was used thanks to its open-source libraries and its versatility in detecting the actions of the sensors [9].…”

Design of an Anti-theft Alarm System for Vehicles using IoT

“…In this regard, in comparison with the system developed by [7] which uses the vehicle's coordinates to be displayed by means of text messages on the owner's mobile device, in our system we use these coordinates through an API which allows the visualization by means of a map, allowing a better visualization of the vehicle's location by the user.…”

“…However, [7] addresses the problem of vehicle theft through the implementation of GSM and GPS technologies. Consequently, IoT is used to communicate with the user by notifying him that his vehicle has been forcibly started and also initiates a constant report of the vehicle's location.…”

“…Likewise, it is possible to implement systems that, after the vehicle is started, initiate a monitoring process by means of GPS signals, which allow the owner to know the location of the vehicle in real time. Similarly [7], the IoT allows the owner to interact with this system by remotely turning off the engine. Indeed, the IoT allows systems to provide many more options to suit the needs that users have, for example, the implementation of vehicle security systems that have the ability to monitor by silent video surveillance unauthorized persons inside the vehicle, which not only prevents the theft of the vehicle, but can also identify the person who did it [8].…”
