ABSTRACT
This paper deals with the design & development of a theft control system for an
automobile, which is being used to prevent/control the theft of a vehicle. The developed
system makes use of an embedded system based on GSM technology. The designed &
developed system is installed in the vehicle. An interfacing mobile is also connected to
the microcontroller, which is in turn, connected to the engine. Once, the vehicle is being
stolen, the information is being used by the vehicle owner for further processing. The
information is passed onto the central processing insurance system, where by sitting at
a remote place, a particular number is dialed by them to the interfacing mobile that is
with the hardware kit which is installed in the vehicle. By reading the signals received
by the mobile, one can control the ignition of the engine; say to lock it or to stop the
engine immediately. Again it will come to the normal condition only after entering a
secured password. The owner of the vehicle & the central processing system will know
this secured password. The main concept in this design is introducing the mobile
communications into the embedded system. The designed unit is very simple & low
cost. The entire designed unit is on a single chip. When the vehicle is stolen, owner of
vehicle may inform to the central processing system, then they will stop the vehicle by
just giving a ring to that secret number and with the help of SIM tracking knows the
location of vehicle and informs to the local police or stops it from further movement.
