Abstract

This project demonstrates the strong need for a more robust, user friendly bike theft  prevention system. This will not only reduce the rate of theft but will also help to capture thieves. In the entire system we will need a RFID reader that will check the authentication, a GPS to know the location of a bike , a GSM to send a message to the owners phone and a set of microcontrollers and buzzer.

Introduction

Bicycle theft is a major problem, with seemingly little being done about it. Several underlying problems have led to this increase in bike theft, ranging from sheer human absentmindedness,  to the lack of bike parking structures, to the vulnerabilities of current locking devices. A more robust, bicycle theft prevention and recovery system is needed to end this continuing trend. Sometimes we forgot to remove the keys from bike by mistake. In these cases it is really difficult to get the bike back. This project is designed to solve this purpose. Main concept behind this project is of a bike security system using a RFID reader. This system turns on the Buzzer when wrong rfid  is entered.

The purpose of the study is investigate the feasibility of vehicle tracking technologies for vehicles as probes two technologies were evaluated. Global positioning system (GPS), Global system for mobile communication (GSM) Vehicle probes information can be complementary to those freeways that have single loops since the single loops are not capable of producing the most accurate GPS location probe vehicle data can also be used for rural freeways or minor urban freeways where no instrumentation is planned. Local streets and arterials are also good candidates for collecting data from probe vehicles.GPS is one of the most promising techniques for vehicle positional accuracy available to data. Especially with different GPS, a greater accuracy can be achieved by using two ground based satellite receivers one of receiver monitors variation of the GPS signal and communicates them to the other receiver that corrects its positional calculation for a greater accuracy carrier phase GPS is another technique to improve the position accuracy. It can be used for more precise timing measurement since its carrier frequency is much higher than the GPS signal. Another type of GPS is called augmented GPS. This technique is used for the transmission of differential correction and GPS satellite status information for instrument landing in space.  A mobile cellular network converts all the areas where its communication service is available, which implies that the freeway to be monitored is also converted with a series of cells. In particular, in the case of a freeway in rural areas, the mobile cellular network is provided with a group of cells exclusively for the freeway, the shape of which narrower and longer than that of the conventional cells in urban areas. The newly proposed cell based methodology involves all possible reference points that reside on the freeway e.g., the location of existing detectors or variable message signs, the entry and exit points of the freeway and other points based on these, travel times are calculated. In the earlier systems the car alarms were used where if the intruder but the car the alarm starts sound but the safety is not assumed and then the car once theft can’t be assured that we can get back the car. The alarm sound made by the car remains unnoticed and this major cause for the car theft.

RFID Technologies

Radio frequency identification as known as RFID is generic term of technologies that use radio to automatically identify people or object. The acronym reference to small electronic devices that consist of small chip and an antenna the chip typically a capable of carrying 2000 bytes of data or less the RFID provides a unique identifies for that object.

 RFID System

An RFID system is composed of three main components 1.An antenna or coil.2.A Transceiver (with decoder) and 3.An RFID Tag. The antenna will transmit radio signal to activate the tag so the data could be read or written Data Storage and retrieval purposes are performed using special devices the RFID Tag. The tag is very small and can be placed anywhere on anything.

                                            

RFID Reader

 RFID reader is device that is used to interrogate an RFID tag the reader has an antenna that emits radio waves the tag responds by sending back its data. A number of factors can affect the distance at which a tag can be read the frequency used for identification the antenna gain, the orientation and polarization of the reader antenna as well as the placement of the tag on the object to be identified will have an impact on the RFID system read range.

GSM

GSM (Global system for mobile communication ) is a digital mobile telephony system that is widely used in Europe and other parts of the world.GSM uses a variation of time division multiple access (TDMA) and is the most widely used of the three digital wireless telephony technologies ( TDMA, GSM and CDMA ).GSM digitizes and compresses data then sends it down a channel with two other streams of user data each in its own time slot it operates at either the 900MHZ frequency band.

GPS

GPS (Global positioning system) is a great boon to anyone who has the need to navigate either great or small distances. This wonderful navigation technology was actually first available for government use back in the late 1970s. In the past 10 years it has been made a valuable to the general public in the form of handheld receivers that use this satellite technology provided by the U.S. government.GPS receiver help us to navigate back to a starting point or other predetermined location without the use of maps or any other equipment.

                                            

PIC Micro Controller

 The controller we are used here is PIC (peripheral interface controller) separate code and data spaces for device other than PIC 18F95K22 which has a von Neumann architecture instruction most instruction are single cycle exclusions and skips. 

                                               

Block Diagram

The system requirement is divided into hardware and software part. First, the project criteria was examined and outlined in the following paragraph. The remaining paragraphs elaborate the hardware and software.

 System Architecture

 Password protection module is used for security identification of driver. Password protection is connected to the PIC to track the user details by correlating the password and the user details already stored in micro controller which has inbuilt. After the user enters the password in password protection the engine will start. The processor is connected with the ignition unit, the GSM, the password protection, the end user who will be the owner where his/her mobile number is stored in the data based on the latest technology. After the user enters the password in password protection the motor will be start. If the password is wrong the GPS location is sent to the owner’s mobile. If any unauthorized person is trying it drive the bike, at that time we can stop the vehicle.

                                          

Applications and Advantages

1. This project can be used in various bikes.

2. The project can be used to automate the ignition locking process, so the user need not to carry the ignition lock keys along with him, he can just remember the password and use it later to open the ignition.

Conclusion

In this project GPS vehicle theft tracking and identification control system modern technologies such as GSM and GPS are used in order to know the exact location of the theft vehicle alert the user so that the user can stop the vehicle by sending SMS. The users can easily identity the location of the theft vehicle which in turns saves the money and time. Further, by providing proper control signal even the direction of the vehicle, steering moment and fuel injection, acceleration and starting of the motor can be easily controlled by the user and this process can be implemented effectively.
