Abstract:
Technology has advanced quickly in recent years. There are many different types of technology that have been invented and offer a lot of ease in daily living, including security systems. In Uganda the mostly used and fastest means of transportation is by motorcycles thus even theft of these auto motives has risen thought the years. Motorcycles left unattended on streets or in a parking lot run a significant risk of being stolen. Thieves have learnt away to bypass the ignition system (ignition key) and can easily steal the motorcycle without being noticed. Therefore, there is a need to secure the transmission system and ignition system of the motorcycle.
The motorcycle theft control system will alter the owner immediately the system detects motion (vibration) on the motorcycle, trigger the Alarm then turn off the transmission system with the help of the relay switch thus requiring authentication in order to start off the motorcycle (connect ignition and transmission systems). There so the motorcycle location is obtained using GPS tracking and communication to the owner’s smart phone using the GSM800L is used. The system has a vibration sensor that will detect vibration that is imposed on the motorcycle. An RFID sensor connected to the microcontroller (Arduino) to the relay that turns on or turns off the motorcycle ignition system thus preventing thieves from riding off the motorcycle. RFID ETKP card is to an individual and gives authentication to the owner to ride off the motorcycle by triggering the relay on which now connects the ignition and transmission systems of the motorcycle. SIM800l GSM Module for sending alert messages when any shock is detected thus triggering an alarm and a GPS tracker for providing information on latitude and longitude coordinates to locate the motorcycle on Google Maps.
