ABSTRACT

Now a days, automobile thefts are increasing at an alarming rate all over the world. So
to escape from these thieves most of the vehicle owners have started using the theft
control systems. Here, we made an attempt to develop an instrument based on
Atmega8 microcontroller and operated using GSM technology. The device is a simple
and low cost vehicle theft control embedded system.
The entire system is installed in the engine along with GSM Modem. When the owner
of the automobile finds that the automobile is missing, a SMS can be send by his/her
mobile which is authenticated by device to stop & lock the engine of the automobile.
Then the location of the automobile can be traced by the GSM SIM No. or by GPS if
present in the automobile.
The owners mobile number is authenticated by sending the password to the GSM
device. The Global System for Mobile communications (GSM) is the most popular
and accepted standard for mobile phones in the world established in 1982 and it
operates in 900 MHz frequency.
