VEHICLE THEFT DETECTION AND SECURE SYSTEM USING ARDUINO

Today vehicles form an important asset to us, without which our life would be incomplete. But, when it comes to the security of our vehicles, we are very helpless. It is of a great concern, especially in metropolitan cities, where these incidents occur each and every day. So, in this paper, we have focussed on the security of vehicles. The Aim of this work is to authenticate and inform the details of the vehicle to the owner through SMS when it is to be used by any other person. If the owner is aware of that person he can give access through a return reply- motor on otherwise he can deny by replying –motor off. This is possible using GSM and fingerprint sensor. In case if the vehicle is theft by any chance, we can detect the vehicle using RFID reader where RFID reader is placed in the device. On the other hand the owner can also trace the location of the vehicle where he gets the information in terms of latitude and longitude using GPS. All these operations are controlled using ATMEGA328 micro controller.
