This research paper presents an
effective anti-theft vehicle security system which
integrates Global Positioning System (GPS), Global
System for Mobile Communication (GSM) and
Biometrics technologies (i.e. fingerprint) for user
identification and authentication. Theft security of
vehicles in common parking places has become a
matter of great concern Thus, a system capable of
identifying and tracking the geographical location
of a remote vehicle, which requires constant
surveillance of the vehicle is needed. The system consists
of GPS module, GSM modem, fingerprint scanner
sensor, Espressif ESP32 development board, 4WD
Double Layer Smart Car Chassis and Immobilizer
Anti-theft relay. GPS and GSM modules were utilized
to prevent theft and to determine the exact
location of vehicle and a fingerprint reader module
to identify authorized persons and thus start the
engines. The GSM modem enables a two-way
communication between the user and the system.
The microcontroller was programmed using embedded
C/C++. The fingerprint readings and also SMS
commands will be used to immobilize and
demobilize the vehicle via relay, thus protecting the
cars from theft and unauthorized users.
