ABSTRACT
This fingerprint system is a project to prevent motorcycle thefts these days. So with our
project or initiative, this will reduce the risk of thefts that happen in Malaysia. We got this
idea based on the collected problem statement which is nowadays motorcycle are easily
being stolen by the thieves. The objective of this project is to upgrade the safety system, to
ease the ignition of the bike and reduce the loss of motorcycles in the present time.
Basically, we are making a new way to start a bike that is originally used starter. By using
our project, they can ignite their motorcycle just by using their fingerprint. This way is
safer because the owner only can use their own bike. Methodology used in this research is
firstly we make some questionnaires and distributed to motorcyclists because this will
make, we get supportive feedback about their motorcycle’s safety features. In our
preliminary study, this project requires us to study about electronic devices and circuits.
Thus, we have to make research to make a circuit so the fingerprint sensor will work well.
In conclusion, we hope our project could decrease the rate of stolen motorcycle and give a
new interesting way of starting your motorcycle.
1.0 INTRODUCTION
Motorcycle fingerprint sensor is our project for final year project. This project is inspired
from the smartphone fingerprint sensor that is widely used in any smartphones in this
world. We cannot unlock our phone if the sensor cannot recognize the fingerprint and this
way is safer than using the old way which is pin lock or pattern lock. Nobody can use your
phone unless you open it with your own fingerprint. Because of this, we would like to
apply this application for motorcycle due to the increased number of stolen motorcycle
cases lately. This case is getting worst and it does not only happen to the moped bike, this
case only happens at the superbike. But for the superbike, it is not so famous because
stealing a superbike is not that easy like stealing a moped bike.
This problem should not be neglected by the manufacturer of the bikes because it is about
customer’s money. They probably should be aware of what is wrong with their safety
features and try to fix it immediately. So, we are going with our idea which is making a
fingerprint sensor for motorcycles. This fingerprint sensor will ignite your motorcycle and
you will no longer use your key to start your motorcycle. This way is more convenient and
modern like the technology that is already applied for the cars which is ‘keyless entry’. If
someone tries to break the sensor, an alarm sound will be produced to tell the nearby
people that the bike is in danger. Hence, this way is better than the current safety features.
Other than that, an alarm will be triggered which is it can make the thief feels afraid and
panic so your bike will be in safe hands.
This project is to reduce the risk of losing bike that is increasing day by day. This problem
giving trouble for bike’s users for riding their bike anywhere. Thus, we are coming out with
this idea so it will make riders more confident and feels safe.
Moreover, older person usually might have problems when starting their bikes by using
kick starter. With our project, that problem will be solved because they would no longer
using their kick starter but they will be using their own fingerprints.
Motorcycle thefts are a persistent issue globally, causing significant financial and
emotional stress for bike owners. Traditional ignition systems relying on keys are easily
bypassed, making motorcycles vulnerable to theft. Additionally, older motorcyclists often
face challenges using kick starters, which require physical effort and can be inconvenient.
There is a pressing need for an innovative and secure ignition system that not only prevents
unauthorized access but also simplifies the starting process for users.
1.2 OBJECTIVES
Main objective was improving safety systems which already have at the bikes right
now.Our project clearly safes because only owner or selected fingerprints that were
programmed to start the bike.
Other than that, our product will ease the older users when starting up their bike because

they will only use their fingerprint instead their legs for the kick starter.
1. Enhance Motorcycle Security: To develop a fingerprint-based ignition system that
ensures only authorized users can start the motorcycle, thereby reducing the risk of theft.
2. Improve User Convenience: Replace traditional key or kick-start mechanisms with a
fingerprint-based system, making it easier for riders, especially older users, to operate their
motorcycles.
3. Introduce Modern Technology: Integrate biometric security technology to provide a
more advanced, secure, and user-friendly solution for motorcycle ignition.
Biometrics is the use of measurable, biological characteristics such as fingerprints or iris patterns
to identify a person to an electronic system. Once these measurements have been taken, they may
be used to authenticate an individual or user. This is done by the sampled biometric against a
template taken earlier. In Egypt, thousands of years ago, it was common for individuals to use
physical traits or characteristics such as scars, eye and hair color, height and etc. To identify
individuals for business transactions. Biometrics is a rapidly evolving technology that has been
widely used in forensics such as criminal identification and prison security, and has the potential to
be widely adopted in a very broad range.

4. Security Box
Security box is usually located in a house owned by the bank and the
private rights which are used to store valuables. A safe deposit box is purchased from the
company and can be accessed with keys, pin numbers or some other security pass.
Valuables such as documents and jewelry placed inside and customers rely on the safety of
buildings to protect those valuables. Fingerprint based security box using Arduino is design
to make the box more safety. This project used a biometric fingerprint reader to secure the
storage box.
The issue of vehicle hijacking or car theft due to easy access to vehicle’s functional
system can be reduced by using a biometric system.The starting of vehicle’s engine as the necessity of
protection and access restriction in many luxurious assets is now very important.Biometric systems have a
long time served as a strong security system in many different applications and it will be implemented in
automobile industry.Biometric system is a technological system that uses information about a person to
identify such person.It relies on specific data about unique biological trait in order to work effectively.This
system involves running data through algorithms for a particular result,usually related to a positive
identification of a user or other individuals.The signals are generated by the arduino to appropriate module
circuit.

The IoT integration aspect includes using a communication module to send real-
time notifications to the user's smartphone regarding the motorcycle's status or mobile applications.
Testing and validation are crucial made based on feedback. Finally, the system is optimized for
power consumption and response time, making it user-friendly and efficient. This comprehensive
approach ensures robust security and convenient access for motorcycle owners.

2. Soldering all the parts and test the pcb.
We went to our friend’s house and borrow the soldering equipment such as
soldering iron,solder lead,wire cutter and many more.First of all,we try to solder to
another board to improve our skills and confidence level so our actual board will be
flawless and perfect.After we solder the board,we test it with power supply and
check if there is some malfunction components before move to the next stage.
● Never touch the element or tip of the soldering iron. They are very hot (about
400°C) and will burn.
● Hold wires to be heated with tweezers or clamps.
● Keep the cleaning sponge wet during use.
● Always return the soldering iron to its stand when not in use. Never put it down on
your workbench.
● Turn unit off or unplug it when not in use.
First of all,we have to open up all the screws at the headlamp of the
bike.After that,find a wire that is connected to the starter and take out the wire.Find
a source of wire and make it long so you can cut the wire.Other than that,connect
the two wires to the ports.Connect the blue wire to the normally open ports while
black wire to the command port.Moreover,we are using another power supply for
supply the board which is 9v battery.It means we did not use the motorcycle’s
battery for the printed circuit board supply.When the fingerprint scanner already
lights up,it means all the wiring are well connected and we are good to use our
fingerprint to start the bike.Test the fingerprint efficiency by using other
unrecognized finger to see the fingerprint biometric scanner.
Figure 4
We test out the fingerprint scanner by using the right and the
unprogrammed fingerprint.The fingerprint works well and reads out the
programmed fingerprint in few seconds and starts the motorcycle.When we placed
the unprogrammed fingerprint,it would not start the motorcycle.After that,we are
making a box for storing the board and battery and most important the box must be
waterproof.

PROPOSED METHOD
The proposed method for developing a fingerprint-based motor starter system with IoT
integration focuses on enhancing motorcycle security through innovative technologies. The system employs
a fingerprint sensor as the primary authentication mechanism, allowing only authorized users to start the
motorcycle. This provides a higher level of security compared to traditional key-based systems, as
fingerprints are unique and cannot be easily duplicated. The fingerprint sensor interfaces with a control unit
(e.g., Arduino or ESP32) that manages the ignition system. Once a valid fingerprint is detected, the motor is
activated, while unauthorized attempts trigger a lockdown to prevent the engine from starting.
The impact of this system is significant, especially in terms of reducing motorcycle theft and
improving recovery rates. The fingerprint authentication deters unauthorized access, while real-time
notifications allow owners to respond quickly to security incidents. The convenience of keyless entry and
the ability to control the vehicle remotely also add value to the user experience, offering both security and
ease of use. Additionally, the system's data logging capability provides detailed records of ignition
attempts, which can be useful for analyzing patterns or sharing with law enforcement.

We have concluded that to decrease the risk of bike theft nowadays, we should also
upgrade the safety system in line with modernization. This will make motorcycle theft is
more difficult and takes more time. Furthermore, even though we already upgrade the
safety features, motorcycle theft will also happen if we are careless and does not pay
attention to our bike safety. Lastly, we hope that our project can decrease the risk of
motorcycle theft and brings a new technology that can be a great way for motoring world.
