Design of Smart Vehicle Security System Using Finger Print Authentication with Integrated GSM and GPS Modules

Abstract:

Vehicle theft is a major issue, underscoring the shortcomings of conventional security systems that frequently depend on expensive and sophisticated sensors. In order to solve this problem, a smart car security system that combines GPS and GSM technology with biometric fingerprint authentication on an affordable Arduino-based platform is created. The main goal is to improve car security by using fingerprint recognition, which uses distinct and difficult-to-copy biometric data, to guarantee that only authorized individuals may access the vehicle. The technology offers a high degree of security by prohibiting unauthorized people from entering the car using fingerprint authentication. Moreover, the system makes use of GSM technology to provide instantaneous notifications in the case of unlawful entry attempts and to allow real-time communication between the owner and the car. The owner may act quickly to safeguard their car thanks to this instant notice. The precise tracking capabilities provided by GPS technology further improve the security framework and are crucial for the prompt recovery of stolen cars. The owner may feel secure knowing that their vehicle's position is always tracked thanks to this extensive tracking technology. The main focus of the issue statement is the requirement for an inexpensive, dependable, and easy-to-use vehicle security system that can overcome the shortcomings of traditional systems. Many car owners are unable to use traditional systems since they are frequently costly and complicated. Using GPS modules for position tracking, GSM modules for communication, and fingerprint sensors for identification, the system is designed and implemented according to the approach. This method offers a flexible solution that may be extensively used while also ensuring high security and system adaptability to different vehicle kinds. This all-encompassing strategy seeks to lower theft rates, improve owner happiness, and offer a strong security framework that can be customized to fit different kinds of vehicles.
