Electrical Electronics Engineering | Industrial Physics | Physics

The design and construction of a vehicle starting system employing fingerprint recognition technology represents a cutting-edge advancement in automotive security and convenience. This innovative system integrates biometric authentication, electronic control, and mechanical components to ensure secure and user-friendly access to the vehicle. By leveraging fingerprint recognition, this system provides a high level of security, as each individual’s unique biometric signature serves as the key to start the vehicle, mitigating the risk of unauthorized access or theft. The implementation of this technology involves the integration of fingerprint sensors with the vehicle’s ignition system, enabling drivers to start the engine simply by placing their finger on a designated sensor. Through meticulous engineering, this system ensures seamless integration with existing vehicle electronics while maintaining robustness against environmental factors and tampering attempts. Moreover, the incorporation of advanced encryption protocols safeguards the integrity of biometric data, ensuring privacy and preventing unauthorized duplication or misuse. This revolutionary approach to vehicle starting not only enhances security but also streamlines the user experience, offering drivers a convenient and personalized means of accessing their vehicles while mitigating the risk of unauthorized access or theft.

ABSTRACT

The issue of vehicle hijacking or car theft due to easy access to vehicle’s functional system can be reduced by using a biometric system. The starting of vehicle’s engine as the necessity of protection and access restriction in many luxurious assets is now very important. Biometric systems have in a long time served as a strong security system in many different applications and it will be implemented in automobile industry. Biometric system is a technological system that uses information about a person to identify such the person. It relies on specific data about unique biological trait in order to work effectively. This system involves running data through algorithms for a particular result, usually related to a positive identification of a user or other individuals. The signals are generated by the microcontroller to appropriate module circuit.

1.0 INTRODUCTION

1.1 BACKGROUND OF THE PROJECT

Fingerprint recognition technology allows access to only those whose fingerprints that are pre stored in the memory. Stored fingerprints are retained even in the event of complete power failure or battery drain. These eliminates the need for keeping track of keys or remembering a combination password, or PIN. It can only be opened when an authorized user is present, since there are no keys or combinations to be copied or stolen, or locks that can be picked. The fingerprint based lock therefore provides a wonderful solution to conventionally encountered inconveniences. This report focuses on the use of fingerprints to unlock locks, as opposed to the established method of using keys [1].In order to prevent unauthorized access to these devices, passwords and other pattern based authentication method are being used in recent time. However, password-based authentication has an intrinsic weakness in

password leakage. While the patterns are easy to steal and reproduce. In this paper, we introduce an implicit authentication approach that enhanced the password pattern with additional security layer [2].Biometric systems have overtime served as robust security mechanisms in various domains. Fingerprints are the oldest and most widely used form of biometric identification. A critical step in exploring its advantages is to adopt it for use as a form of security in already existing systems, such as vehicles [3].Vehicle security system has been a topic of great interest over the years due to the increasing vehicle theft cases reported all over the world. Most of the advanced vehicle security systems best suit the four wheelers. As of the security system for two wheelers is concerned, the systems available in market are of no match to the well-equipped thieves. When under attack, these systems can only immobilize the engine and sound a loud alarm. The proposed reliable and robust design of Two Wheeler Vehicle Security System (TWVSS) with features enhancing the security of the vehicle and ensuring the safety of the rider [4].Fingerprint matching techniques are of two types: graph based and minutiae based. The template size of the biometric information based on minutiae is much smaller and the processing speed is higher than that of graph-based fingerprint matching [5].

1.2 PROBLRM STATEMENT

Recently, car hijack has been on the increase as armed robbers focus on stealing cars especially the brand new ones. Hence the need to protect the cars from hijackers is considered to be essential. This device was invented to solve this problem. In this paper, nobody can ignite the vehicle except authorized by designed system already captures its fingerprints pattern features through enrolment into the system.

1.3 AIM OF THE PROJECT

The aim of this paper is to design and develop a finger print based car ignition system with a view to reducing car theft and to ward off unauthorized users.

1.4 SIGNIFICANCE OF THE PROJECT

Fingerprint recognition system is inexpensive compared to other biometric systems, is user- friendly, has high reliability and can be used in a variety of environments.

1.5 APPLICATION OF THE PROJECT

This device, apart from using it an automobile devices it can also be use to protect electrical appliances and industrial machine from unauthorized user. Other applications are as follows:

Industrial application:“Fingerprint based security system” project can be used by the employees, staff or workers in various industries like Automobile industries, manufacturing industries, Software development companies.
Home or domestic application: This project can be used to automate the door locking process at our home, so the user need not to carry the door lock keys along with him, he can just use his/her finger to open the door.
Bank Lockers or security safes: Many of the banks use key based or password based locks for their lockers or safes. We can implement Fingerprint based bank locker system using this project.

1.6 SCOPE OF THE PROJECT

The system provides a secure and hassle free way to start/stop vehicle engine. User just needs to scan finger to start the car, no need to carry any key. The system only allows authorized users to start the vehicle. Users can first register into the system by scanning fingerprints. The system allows multiple users to register as authorized users. When into monitoring mode, the system checks for users to scan. On scanning, the system checks if user is authorized user and starts vehicle for authorized users only.. The fingerprint sensor is connected to the microcontroller and also we have an LCD display along with push buttons and starter motor. The motor is used to demonstrate as vehicle starter. This system automates as well as vehicle security using fingerprint based system.
