VEHICLE THEFT DETECTION AND REMOTE ENGINE LOCKING SYSTEM USING IOT

Abstract

In this project, we are taking GPS a step further and planning to track a vehicle using GPS Technology With just a few software and hardware adjustments, this vehicle tracking system can also be utilized as a soldier tracking system, accident detection alert system, and many other applications. Latitude and longitude (also known as GPS coordinates) are used in the process of tracking a vehicle. A location's value lies in its GPS coordinates. In essence, this system is embedded. Hardware that is managed by software is referred to as embedded. All the hardware elements in this setup are controlled by software using an Arduino. An integral component of the system is Arduino. Nearly everyone in society now owns a car, and theft occurs sometimes while driving and sometimes while parking. Vehicle safety is incredibly important for public transportation vehicles. The car has a locking and tracking mechanism to keep track of its location. Using the Global Positioning System (GPS) , the location of the car was determined. These devices continuously monitor a moving vehicle and provide status reports as needed. When a theft is discovered, the accountable party sends an SMS to the microcontroller, which subsequently sends control signals to turn off the engine. To restart the car and unlock the door, an authorized individual must send the controller the password.
There are so many recent technologies evolving and new methods are being upgraded to overcome this issue. This paper proposes a system presenting a mechanism to minimize vehicle thefts. The system provides security by sending an alert message as soon the vehicle is stolen or moved without knowledge of owner. System also offers location updates periodically to the registered user through internet of things. This provision for theft vehicle tracking is provided by GPS technology by sending location.
