Car security system using fingerprints
We are going to make and provide security system to the car, most of the people saves their assets to for years to buy a car so that they cannot afford a luxury car (Audi etc. which is secure) so our this security system would help them, one could easily afford it as it would be launch in the market

Car security system using fingerprints
Project Area of Specialization Internet of ThingsProject SummaryWe are going to make and provide security system to the car, most of the people saves their assets to for years to buy a car so that they cannot afford a luxury car (Audi etc. which is secure) so our this security system would help them, one could easily afford it as it would be launch in the market at low cost after the completion. It is biometric based project, the fingerprint phenomenon is used, we are using the fingerprint b sensors to detect fingerprint and operate. The microcontroller would be used to control all the operation itself also it is the IOT (internet of things) based so we could easily operation the system through mobile.The further enhancement would provide more high level security including retina, voice, facial characteristics and signature for identification, but we are working only on the fingerprints initially. The protection system is based on fingerprints. The arduino microcontroller is used in the system & it consists of 2 circuits; one circuit would be designed for the car doors and the other would be designed for car starting. The protections system would be attached inside the car and it would run through the car battery. The GPS system would be also installed. The user would activate the security system with the password (fingerprints or passcode). Initially it would store the user’s password (fingerprints or passcode) & then it would only activate when the fingerprints or passcode matches. The car would start directly through the fingerprints as it has a keyless entry. When the user would enter the fingerprints or passcode and it matches the password which is initially stored in the arduino microcontroller, the arduino microcontroller would give a signal to the car’s circuit box and the car would be started. If in case the wrong scenario would be entered to the protection system or security system the car would not start. The car would also start by the key by activating the protection system from mobile phone. When the right passcode is entered to the protection system, it would allow the key option for starting the car. The doors of the car would be also password based (fingerprints or passcode). The doors would be unlocked either by user’s fingerprints or passcode. It would be also unlocked through RFID (radio frequency identification), RFID is the form of wireless communication consists of small chip and antenna which uses the electromagnetic field to automatically identify and track the object.The key of the car can be lost or left or a replica can be made but here you are free to take care of the key, it can be only operated through one’s fingerprints that would be stored in the system. Here we allow the system to take 127 samples of the fingerprints.
Project Objectives- It would provide high protection to the car.
- It has a keyless entry.
- Only the user would unlock and start the car.
- If in case someone messes with car battery and unplugged the battery switches the car would not start.
- The car would be found easily with the help of GPS.
- One could easily afford it.
- It can be further enhanced.
- It would provide fewer chances to steal the car.
- To start the car easily without any hurdles: one could be able to unlock/lock the car while sitting in the room or office etc.
-
It is so easy to operate the protection system that would be attached inside the car; one just needs to enter his/her fingerprints or one needs to operate it through mobile phone to unlock the car and then place the fingerprints to run the engine. The main that is used in the system is arduino microcontroller that would control the operations.
In the block diagram of the door it is clear that the door has 3 inputs it has to operation on either on RFID, IOT (passcode) or fingerprints, these signal is provided to the arduino and then arduino would decide what to do. So if the information signal matches the data stored in arduino so arduino would pass the signal to the car door controller and the door would be unlock but if the information is wrong so arduino would not pass the signal to the car door controller and the system would not operate.
Similarly in the block diagram of the engine starting it is clear that there are two inputs the key and the fingerprints either you can use the key or you can use the fingerprints to run the engine and another input is also here that is the IOT. If you want someone to start your car so you have to do nothing but to use the mobile phone, you have to open the app, enter the code and unlock the car, so one can switch the key.
Also a GPS system is used to track the car and the Wi-Fi chips and devices are used for the operation of the IOT.
Block Diagram:
Benefits of the Project.
- Less chances to steal the car as it is a secure system.
- Easy to use as it has a keyless entry and it is efficient.
- Easy to use as it would be controlled by different inputs.
- Later on it could be launched in the market at low cost.
- The further enhancement would provide more high level security including retina, voice, facial characteristics and signature for identification.
- The key of the car can be lost or left or a replica can be made but here you are not supposed be worried because one’s fingerprints is enough to unlock and start the car.
- It can be only operated through one’s fingerprints that would be stored in the system. Here we allow the system to take 127 samples of the fingerprints.
The project would take 5 to 6 months in making and we have recently started the work, the fingerprints scanner code is almost completed and implemeted. Now we are going to work futher on the project ie: communication through IOT that is called serial port communication and all the other implementations. It is going to be found in the hard form, it has 2 circuits both would be in the hard form.
