IoT Based Embedded System for Vehicle Security and Driver Surveillance

Toady due to rapid increase in vehicles, there is an exponential increase in crime and accidents hence it has become challenge for governments to limit such crimes especially from professional thieves. This paper proposes designing and development of anti-theft as well as driver surveillance embedded system that uses biometric authentication to access the vehicle. This system contains camera which take the image of a person trying to get access of vehicle and compare with authorized person's image and then allowing or denying access. In The case of denial of vehicle access or even if there is an accident occurs, camera will capture the images and email it to the owner or authorizer. This will help to catch thieves, also allows the surveillance of driver and also the inner part of vehicle. The recent work on proposed embedded system is written in this paper. The system is designed and developed using raspberry pi, high resolution camera, vibration sensor and open source software.
