Embedded Automobile Engine Locking System, Using GSM Technology

Abstract

This paper deals with the design & development of an embedded system, which is being used to prevent /control the theft of a vehicle. The developed instrument is an embedded system based on GSM technology. The instrument is installed in the engine of the vehicle. An interfacing GSM modem is also connected to the microcontroller to send the message to the owner’s mobile. The main objective of this instrument is to protect the vehicle from any unauthorized access, through entering a protected password and intimate the status of the same vehicle to the authorize person (owner) using Global System for Mobile (GSM) communication technology. This system deals with the concept of network security. The main concept in this design is introducing the mobile communications into the embedded system. The entire designed unit is on a single board.
