Design and Implementation of Smart Vehicle Theft Detection using Raspberry PI And IOT for Real Time Applications

Abstract

The crime related to vehicle theft has been a tremendous rise with burglar's becoming smarter every day. This generates an crucial need for an effective vehicle theft diagnosis system. In this paper, a compact, cheap and efficient system is studied, designed and explored using Raspberry Pi as the core processing unit of the whole system. Sensors data of Passive Infra-Red (PIR) motion sensor, pressure sensor, gas sensor, including Global Positioning System (GPS), Pi camera, buzzer and a Liquid Crystal Display (LCD) display are collected by embedded Linux system. The device functions in two modes: User mode and Theft mode. The gadget has ability of detecting intrusion and on detection will ring an alarm and send coordinates to the user's assigned E-mail. The device will send the latitude and longitudinal details to the user's e-mail along with the captured image using remote sensing whenever there is an intrusion or if the device is displaced after a certain threshold as in the case of bike theft wherein the complete vehicle can be effortlessly displaced without starting the engine or deactivating physical locks. It is easy to locate the vehicle and get accurate position on Google Maps using this design. This paper explores the possibility of a compact, versatile, viable, cheap and efficient vehicle theft detection system. Keywords: Raspberry pi, GPS module, IOT, Pi camera, PIR sensor, Tracking, Embedded I. INTRODUCTIONWith the rise in the number of vehicles, the theft related to it has also risen exponentially. Every year more than 10 million vehicles are stolen around the world and majority remain untraced. Criminals are becoming smarter day by day and have reached the stage of consummation against the existing vehicle safety systems. Stolen cars and bikes are frequently used in serious crimes that result in property damage, physical injuries and loss of life after an accident. This calls in for a need of an efficient theft detection system. The vehicle tracking hardware is fitted on to the vehicle. It is fitted in such a manner that it is not visible to anyone who is outside the vehicle. Internet of Things (IOT) is the smart technology which helps devices to stay connected in the current generation. All devices can be coupled jointly and used to exchange data with remote login users to make life simpler as shown in fig-1. Security plays an salient role in today's emerging technology. Vehicle security has accomplished numerous fast changes yet the security designs cost are very high and not tolerable for all owners. An anti-theft system is a hardware or mechanism used to avoid the unapproved access of someone's vehicle. In this paper we are proposing a system which alerts and notifies the owner in case of any intrusion or theft of the vehicle and also sends the updated location of the device at regular intervals, which will be an addition to the already existing handle and wheel locks. Owner will be alerted regarding theft attempt and will be provided with the co-ordinates of the vehicle using GPS modu...
