Abstract – A lot of research are going on in the field of

biometrics. The proposed idea in the paper concentrates on the
application of biometric for two wheelers especially, motor
bikes and scooters. In our day to day life, a lot of motor bikes
are missed and it is very difficult to find the location. This
paper provides an effective solution in order to ensure more
security and avoid unauthorized use of motorbikes. In this
project, a finger print based simple and efficient electric engine
starter is proposed. Simple and effective hardware has been
designed, implemented and tested with motorbikes. Test results
show that the developed system identify the correct person and
allows the right person to start the bike

This will increase the security aspect of the vehicles [1]
II. OBJECTIVE
Proper comapitibility of the finger print unit with the
microcontroller unit is carefully designed. Due to this,
starter unit associated with the engine can be anble to
provide proper security for the vehicles. The proposed

existing electric engine starting system in the way of
increased security.

fingerprint module is to verify the fingerprint of the
authorized person and the OLED is used to display whether
the fingerprint is matched or not .If the fingerprint is
matched, the control of Arduino will move to relay. The
relay in turn ignites the ignition system [9]. If key is turned
on and fingerprint is matched then the ignition system will
be turned on and bike gets mobilized.
With regarding to the working functions of finger print,
there are two types. One is accompanied with focusing a
bright light towards the finger print and taking of digital
