SMART CAR SECURITY SYSTEM BASED ARDUINO AND GSM

Abstract: This system proposes the design and construction of an advanced car
security system using mobile phone. It uses the Arduino, Esp8266 and GSM mobile
communication networks to transmit alarm signal and control instruction. The
proposed system is a new generation of car alarming system. The current car
alarming systems uses remote control which sometimes uncomfortable to carry. The
proposed system uses mobile phone as a controller rather than remote controller. This
achieved by using esp8266 Wi-Fi router. The Wi-Fi signal works up to 1 km radius.
If car owner is not in Wi-Fi zone, system switches to second program which is GSM
communication and it can work from anywhere. The control and communication
between the user and the proposed system are achieved through a short message
services (SMS) protocol available in the mobile phone. The proposed system can
detect threat to the car via vibration sensor. It will signal to mobile phone or (SMS)
about threat to the car. Using mobile app user can start and stop car engine, open and
close the door and can use horn. Hardware consists of arduino microcontroller,
esp8266 Wi-Fi router and GSM module. Software developed by Arduino
programming language and mobile app developed by Android Studio software.
Keywords: Aruino microcontroller, Esp8266 Wi-Fi router, GSM Modem,
Vibration sensors.

Introduction
Nowadays, automobile thefts are increasing as well as production of cars in
yearly in the world. Therefore, vehicle theft is a universal problem. To solve this
problem, most of the vehicle owners have started using the theft protection systems.
A wireless vehicle security system which implements mobile communication
protocol is proposed. The most popular existing car security system is car alarm and
has a lot disadvantages:
- If car owner loses remote controller the system will become useless
- Distance – cover Area, the siren cannot be heard over a long distance
- False Alarm
- Cannot be heard in buildings
This type of security system is less effective if the car is far away from the
owner as the alarm cannot be heard by the owner.
This paper proposes two programs:

a) Car alarming system when vehicle owner nearby his car. In car alarming
system user communicate with his car through his phone and Esp8266 Wi-Fi router.
Esp8266 Wi-Fi router installed to the car and connected to vibration sensor. So when
there is a threat to the vehicle Esp8266 send signal to mobile phone. The app
developed for car alarming system using Android Studio software. The vehicle owner
can start and stop car’s engine, open and close car’s door, and can use car’s horn.

b) GSM based car security system is an advanced security system. When the car
is vibrated, the system will produces an alarm signal and immediately send a SMS to
car owner’s mobile phone. The user could easily supervise, protect and control their
car anywhere at any time. It is designed using by Arduino programming language.
Serial communication is used for data communication between GSM modem and
Arduino microcontroller. In this system, firstly, vibration sensors sense the
instruction and produce output signal and this output signal arrive at the Arduino
controller. Arduino acts as electric brain or message sending controller that control all
of the functionality and interfaced circuit attach to the system. It sends SMS message
to the mobile phone via GSM modem. GSM modem sends the signal (SMS) to the
user’s mobile phone when receive signal from the Arduino controller. In this way, the
users can protect from being stolen.
Objective of the study
The primary goal is to improve user situational awareness during vehicle
security threats. The GSM module sends SMS when a threat is detected. The user
will be able to judge the situation and take action. Another goal is to permit the user

to remotely control the system using SMS. After a security alert, the user will be able
to send commands to the microcontroller to deactivating the car alarm. Additionally,
we would like to permit the user to get the status of car even when a security threat
has not been detected. We believe that these systems are most valuable when the user
is far away from his/her vehicle; therefore, we will implement long-range wireless
transmission/alert access using GSM module.
Literature review
Car security system has been very popular in recent times and widely used in
most cars and
Automobiles owned by companies, business organization and even by some
private individuals who can afford the cost. The most common automobile security
system has been the manually operated demobilize. Few of the many automobile
theft-prevention system allow a vehicle to start and temporarily run before disabling a
critical component, such as the fuel or ignition system. This type of shut down
sequence is not very confusing and the system could possibly be overcome by the
thief [1]. [2] Have developed embedded system design to control automobile
peripherals automatically through voice recognition system. The profile of the
authorize user was configured and saved in the system which operates specific
settings for the user. Whenever the user wishes to drive the car, system will initiate
the personal settings by identifying the users voice which includes the side and rear
mirrors setting and seat adjustments. The use of DM642 media processor allows the
real time snapshot of the driver to be taken and displayed on the LCD screen with
available profile report. The remotely operation of the smart car locked or unlocked
was also performed using GSM modem. Some another features such as navigation
and tracking of car using GPS module was also incorporated into the system. The
latitude and longitude positions were also taken by the system from GPS and sends to
the PC using GSM modem. The car real time location was also displayed on the map
on PC. Also [3] have presented Short Message System (SMS) based home security
system equipped with motion sensor, smoke detector, temperature sensor, humidity
sensor and light sensors. A microprocessor PIC 18F4520 controlled the sensors
through the SMS being password. The home security operation has been tested on
Vodafone- Fiji network for emergency and feedback responses were obtained for 25
samples. The GSM experiment showed that it takes about 8-10s delay for the security
system to reply the relevant civil authorities and occupant in case of emergency. The
occupant takes about 18-22s to energize and monitor lights and appliances and then
get feedback from home due the network traffic. [4] have presented the “ Design and
Development of Activation and Controlling Of Home Automation System VIA SMS
(Short Messaging Service) through Microcontroller” which was used to control home
appliances remotely when the user is absent from the place. The system is SMS based

and user uses wireless technology (GSM). The system uses GSM technology thus,
provides universal access to the system for automated appliance control. GSM
(Global Systems for Mobile Communication) is highly used due its simplicity in both
transmitter and receiver design, can operate at 900 or 1800MHZ band, faster, more
reliable and globally network.
Proposed system
The developed system makes use of an embedded system based on GSM
technology. When an unauthorized person tampers with a vehicle in which an
antitheft system is settled up then the microcontroller commands the GSM modem to
send a text alert to the vehicle owner. In this system we interfaced Arduino UNO
microcontroller with SIM-com 900 modem to decode the received message and do
the required action. The protocol used for the communication between the two is
Serial command.
