Fingerprint Based Vehicle Anti-Theft Detection and Alerting System

Vehicle theft remains a persistent concern, prompting the need for innovative security solutions. This paper introduces an innovative fingerprint-based vehicle anti-theft detection and protection system which is designed to fortify vehicle security by leveraging advanced biometric technology. The system integrates a fingerprint scanner within the vehicle, creating a robust authentication process that grants access only to authorized individuals. Through a comprehensive control unit, the system manages the fingerprint authentication, vehicle locking mechanisms, engine immobilization, and alarm triggers. The enrollment phase involves capturing the owner's fingerprints to establish a template, while the authentication phase uses this template to permit access. Unauthorized access attempts activate stringent anti-theft measures, including alarms and engine immobilization. The system's multi-layered approach offers enhanced security and convenience for vehicle owners, deterring potential thieves and reducing the risks associated with traditional key-based systems. However, challenges such as reliability and integration must be carefully addressed during implementation. This fingerprint-based system represents a promising advancement in vehicular security, promising increased protection against theft and unauthorized access.
