Communication cost, unlimited access of location and generating good feedback of a speedy progress etc, all today’s widespread issues related to vehicles
theft are increasing on a daily basis and affecting the society in many adverse ways. In past few decades stolen rate has been increased more. Accidental-
problems, rape cases, transportation and vehicle stolen causes a major challenge to all. Almost all people have their own vehicles and want to secure domain
for them. Raising awareness about this major challenge, we need to make an enable innovative idea implemented on anti -theft system. This system includes
the existing technologies (GPS and GSM) which increase the security rate by providing information and location about vehicles in timely manner. The stolen
activities of unauthorized person are firstly alert the message to real owner of vehicle through GSM which has an interaction with microcontroller (which
provide monitoring to ignition system of vehicles). After finding alert notification, owner sends back a message to GSM which is again interact with
microcontroller to deactivate the system. With instant messaging, lower communication cost, unlimited access of location and generating good feedback of a
speedy progress etc, all the factors make it cost effective and efficient anti theft vehicle system .

1. Introduction

The vehicle theft is become a major problem that the entire world is facing now. The issue of vehicle theft has increased tremendously, mostly at parks. To
stopping this issue, there is a need of theft alert system which helps to owner to ensure theft prevention and provide speedy identification of an
unauthorized person who was trying to steal the vehicles. The theft alert system makes a use of GPS (Global Positioning System) and GSM (Global
System for Mobile) which are embedded in vehicle to communicate with vehicle’s owner mobile phone. In GSM technology, the communication
established either by an SMS or calling but we prefer the communication via SMS (between GSM and owner’s mobile phone). The communication
established include – Sending of an SMS by GSM to owner’s mobile phone to provide all information about vehicle and vice-versa. The GPS technology
is used here to provide the exact location of target. It means that whenever any unauthorized person will try to steal our vehicles, then we can easily detect
the location of theft with vehicle by using the application of GPS technology.
In this system we are going to use two keys to open the vehicle lock, one is the owner’s key which is used by owner and other is direct key which is used
by unauthorized person. Whenever the direct key is used, the alarm become active and give the beep sound which indicate that the thief is detecte d. At the
same time a warning SMS is sent by GSM to registered mobile number.
After receiving the message, the vehicle’s owner sent a message to remotely locked the engine, after turning off the engine, the motor cannot start without
permission of password. In this way, this system helps in preventing the criminals from stealing vehicles.

2. Literature Survey

This system is implemented for anti-theft using an embedded system occupied with a Global Positioning System of Mobile and Global System for Mobile
communication. The user can track the position of targeted vehicles on Google map. Using GPS locator, the target current location is determined and
sent, along with various parameters received by vehicle’s data port, via Short Message Service (SMS) through GSM network to G SM modem that is
control by ARDUINO UNO board.
In, the hardware and software of the GPS and GSM network were developed. The proposed GPS/GSM based System has the two parts, first is a mobile
unit and another is controlling station. The system processes, interfaces, connections, data transmission and reception of data among the mobile unit and
control stations are working successfully. These results are compatible with GPS technologies. In, a vehicle tracking system is an electronic device,
installed in a vehicle to enable the owner or a third party to track the vehicle's place. This paper proposed to design a vehicle tracking system that works
using GPS and GSM technology. This system built based on embedded system, used for tracking and positioning of any vehicle by using Global
Positioning System (GPS) and Global system for mobile communication (GSM). This design will continuously watch a moving Vehicle and report the
status of the Vehicle on demand.

3. Proposed Work

The main purpose of this project is to prevent vehicle theft. This functionality is achieved by detecting vehicle status in t heft mode and by sending an SMS
which is generated automatically. This SMS is then sent to the owner of the vehicle. The owner can then send back the SMS tin order to disable the
ignition of the vehicle. Thus in this way crimes can be reduced to a great extent as vehicles today are being stolen in large number. Hence, vehicles today
require high security which can be achieved with the help of this application. How the system works is when a person tries to steal the vehicle, the
microcontroller is interrupted and the command is sent to the GSM modem to send SMS. On the receipt of the message, the owner sends back the SMS to
the GSM modem. This is done in order to stop the engine. This GSM modem is interfaced to the microcontroller. This microcontr oller on the receipt of
the message uses a mechanism that helps to stop the engine. Motor is being used in this project in order to indicate vehicle ON/OFF state.
Further enhancement can be done to this project by using a GPS system that helps to find out the exact position of the vehicl e with the help of its latitude
and longitude which then can be sent to the owner of the vehicle via SMS. This data can be then entered by the owner on Googl e map to find out the exact
location of the vehicle.

4. Result and Implementation

The kit consists of an ARDUINO board, GSM, GPS. This GSM based vehicle theft control system retrieves vehicle status is whether it is in theft mode.
This data is fed to the ARDUINO, which is interfaced to a GSM modem. Whenever the vehicle is in theft hands automatically the owner get the message
and the owner stop the vehicle through mobile phone.

5. Conclusion

In this paper we have studied and implemented a complete working model using a ARDUINO Using this project, one can control hi s vehicle’s car engine
by means of an SMS. The main purpose of this paper is to prevent vehicle theft. This functionality is achieved by detecting v ehicle status in theft mode
and by sending an SMS which is generated automatically. This SMS is then sent to the owner of the vehicle .The owner can then sent back the SMS in
order to disable the ignition of the vehicle. Thus in this way crimes can be reduced to a great extent as vehicles today are being stolen in large number.
Hence, vehicles today require high security which can be achieved with the help of this application.
