Abstract:
Theft of automobile is on the rise worldwide, ways to efficiently combat car theft and ignition system hotwiring need to be, developed. This, paper presents the deployment of RPID technology for automatic automobile access .and vehicle ignition using fingerprint sensor. The proposed system uses high frequency (HF) RFID readers and tags to nenable, a more secure way -of accessing an automobile’s ignition system. The proposed smart ignition key uses an eight (8) pin code technique that enables the entrance into the vehicle to be accessed after RFIO authentication. This is a 'unique security feature, that prevents vehicle theft and. hotwiring. This system is also developed to control the' ignition of the vehicle through the fingerprint. Scanner. This system consists of GSM SIM 900 that connects to the Arduino which is the microcontroller of the. project. To, make sure the system. is secure. only authorized fingerprint is paired with the Arduino to start the ignition. Vehicles ignite when the enrolled fingerprint.is matched against the fingerprints in the database while users with no match in the database are prevent from igniting the vehicle. A theft alarm from buzzer, a notification to the owner's mobile phone via G8M SIM 900 and status display in the LCD are the appropriate signal to the owner. This article describes briefly in detail about the design and implementation of the ignition system.
