Smart Vehicle Security System – Theory and Implementation using GPS & GSM

SMART VEHICLE SECURITY SYSTEM is a new information & control system for automobile drivers and owners to solve problems caused by automobiles ,thieves and any emergency. It is based on the concept of GPS and GSM technology. It deals with three jobs: track the vehicle location by owner, control the vehicle to stop/run vehicle wheels and single switch call-message generation by drivers in emergency. The smart vehicle security system is an electronic device installed in a vehicle to enable the owner or a third party to track the vehicle’s location, control the vehicle. For vehicle tracking, it uses Global Positioning Systems (GPS) modules for accurate location of the vehicle. Many systems also combine a communications component such as cellular or satellite transmitters to communicate the vehicle’s location to a remote user. Vehicle information can be viewed on electronic maps via the Internet or specialized software. This will be very popular in consumer vehicles as a theft prevention and retrieval device. Police can simply follow the signal emitted by the tracking system and locate the stolen vehicle. This make it possible to control vehicle remotely to start or stop the vehicle engine, in case of emergency vehicle driver has a option to call and sent messages to their owners or nearer police station. The existence of vehicle tracking device then can be used to reduce the insurance cost, because the loss-risk of the vehicle drops significantly.
