Real Time Biometrics Based Vehicle Security System with GPS and GSM Technology

Abstract

In this current world where technology is growing up day by day and scientific researchers are presenting new era of discoveries, the need for security is also increasing in all areas. At present, the vehicle usage is basic necessity for everyone. Simultaneously, protecting the vehicle against theft is also very important. Traditional vehicle security system depends on many sensors and cost is also high. When the vehicle is stolen, no more response or alternative could be available to help the owner of the vehicle to find it back. The main goal of this paper is to protect the vehicle from any unauthorized access, using fast, easy-to-use, clear, reliable and economical fingerprint recognition technique. This vehicle security system intimates the status of the vehicle to the authoritative person (owner) using Global System for Mobile (GSM) communication technology. If the person is certified, vehicle access is allowed. Else SMS will be sent to the owner and the engine will be immobilized. The prototype model for the security system is built on the embedded platform using PIC Microcontroller which controls all the processes and cost is also very stumpy. On higher end theft attempts like cutting battery power supply, protection to the vehicle is provided by Engine Control Unit (ECU) embedded on microcontroller. By using GPS technology, vehicle can be identified very easily. Thus, the system provides security at both levels, i.e. when battery supply is provided or not.

Automotive Start–Stop Engine Based on Fingerprint Recognition System

“…One of the methods, which can be applied for security system, is based on biometric identification system [2]. The biometric recognition system is also an effective solution for personalizing vehicles, according to driver characteristics, allow drivers to access confidential information stored in vehicle databases and improving the security system of the vehicle [3]. Biometrics is automated methods used for person recognition based on physiological and behavioural characteristics [4].…”
