Vehicle Anti-Theft Technology
Property crimes are said to hover around 10 million annually. Of this, vehicle theft tops the list and often occurs in all parts of the world. In response to a Right to Information (RTI) query made by The Indian Express shows that a total of 2,801 motor vehicle thefts took place in 2020 Mumbai, where in 1,085 cases account for 39 per cent of the total cases detected. Of the total 2,801 vehicle theft cases, 2,019 cases were of two-wheelers, 185 were four-wheelers and the remaining 623 cases were thefts of other vehicles like rickshaws, tempos etc.. The methods currently involved in vehicle theft detection such as buzzers and alarms have become cognizant to everyone including the burglars and effortlessly override the system and steal the vehicle. This paper proposes a system presenting a mechanism to mitigate the possibility of vehicle thefts. The system provides security by sending an SMS message as soon the vehicle is moved or crosses Geo-Barrier grid without knowledge of owner and also provides the owner with set of actions that can also be taken. System also offers location updates timely to the registered devices through SiM7600E. New features can be periodically be added hence making it future proof.
