| Summary: | Statistics show that the number of cars is increasing
rapidly and so is the number of car theft attempts, locally and
internationally. Although there are a lot of car security systems
that had been produced lately, but the result is still disappointing
as the number of car theft cases still increases. The thieves are
inventing cleverer and stronger stealing techniques that need
more powerful security systems. This project “Car Monitoring
and Tracking System” is being proposed to solve the issue. It
introduces the integration between monitoring and tracking
system. Both elements are very crucial in order to have a
powerful security system. The system can send SMS and MMS to
the owner to have fast response especially if the car is nearby.
This paper focuses on using MMS and database technology, the
picture of the intruder will be sent via local GSM/GPRS service
provider to user (and / or) police. The Database offers the
required information about car and owner, which will help the
police or security authorities in their job. Moreover, in the event
of theft local police and user can easily track the car using GPS
system that can be link to Google Earth and other mapping
software. The implementation and testing results show the
success of prototype in sending MMS to owner within 40 seconds
and receiving acknowledgment to the database (police or security
unit) within 4 minutes. The timing and results are suitable to
owner and police to take suitable action against intruder. |
