An Attempt to Develop an IOT Based Vehicle Security System

Abstract

As the amount of urban vehicle grows rapidly, vehicle theft has become a shared concern for all citizens. Security and safety have always become a necessity for urban population. However, present anti-theft systems lack the tracking and monitoring function. Internet of things(IOT) has been governing the electronics era with cloud services dominating the ever-increasing electronics product segment. Thus, there is a need to develop a system for providing security to the vehicle from problems like theft and towing using IOT for security of automobiles and passengers. Our system proposes a novel security system based on wireless communication and a lowcost Bluetooth module. This paper illustrates a model in which the GSM is used for sending messages. the user can control the engine/ignition and turn it off if needed. The system also employs a password through keypad (with maximum 3 chances) which controls the opening of a safety locker door as well as wearing of a seat belt. If there is a window intruder, the IR module/sensor detects the intruder, or any obstacle and it sends a signal to the micro controller. The controller is connected to a Bluetooth module and to an alarm system. The System transmits an alert signal to the dashboard (which is nothing but a mobile handset) which sends an alert signal to the user's mobile phone. The prototype also provides a solution to the problem like Towing. Thus, the system uses Bluetooth module and controller to control the security system from the user's mobile phone by means of any device with a potential Internet connection.
