Abstract:
The problem of car thefts and cars crashing due to careless parking are common issues of unattended public parking lots. This paper presents an intelligent car security system which provides security to automobiles against thefts and crashing that happen in parking lots. The main parts of the proposed system are the Global System for Mobile Communications (GSM) and Global Positioning System (GPS) modems, a camera, a sensor and microcontroller. The design of the proposed system provides a highly secure, flexible, reliable and cost effective system. One of the benefits of the proposed system is when a crash happens to the car in any parking, the system immediately communicates with the owner through a Short Message Service (SMS). Moreover, the motion sensors will detect any vibration such as theft or crash and instantly capture the picture of the incident. The system also saves the picture of any damage caused to the vehicle as an evidence for further investigations. A prototype of the proposed system has been implemented and tested. The test results show that the system is working properly, can monitor the parking area of the vehicle, supply the necessary information for any car in case of theft and crash, and is very useful in accidents.
