Access Control for Vehicle Ignition System by Driver's License and Fingerprint Technology

Abstract

The integration of automobiles with IoT (Internet of Things) technologies has ushered in a new era for vehicle security services. The primary objective of this paper is to elevate car security by implementing an advanced, swift, and reliable fingerprint recognition system to prevent unauthorized access. In contrast to conventional methods, this system goes beyond merely sending a text message to the owner; it incorporates an audible alarm to alert the surroundings when a potential vehicle theft is detected. Traditionally, vehicles are unlocked and operated using keys, but this project introduces a novel approach: the authentication of both the driver's license and fingerprints to unlock and start the car. This dual authentication method not only enhances security but also contributes significantly to the reduction of auto theft. By combining the authentication of a driver's license with fingerprint recognition, the system ensures a multi-layered security approach. This not only prevents unauthorized access but also enhances driver identity verification, providing a robust solution to safeguard vehicles. The reliance on fingerprints, known for their uniqueness and consistency, adds an additional layer of reliability to the authentication process. As a result, the technology not only serves as a deterrent to unauthorized use but also establishes a more secure and efficient means of vehicle access. In essence, this paper outlines a forward-looking approach to vehicle security that leverages cutting-edge technologies to combat auto theft effectively and improve overall driver identity verification.
