Abstract:
Hundreds of Car theft are reported each year in Sudan, and the number is still increasing. If not recovered soon, stolen vehicles are generally sold, revamped or even burned if the resale price is considered too low. Once a vehicle is stolen, it becomes hard to locate it and track it, which considerably decreases the chances of recovering it. Nowadays, insurance companies suggest to their clients to equip their vehicles with a Global Positioning System (GPS) that can locate in real time their cars all over the country. In this work, we present the design and implementation of a Car Tracking Anti-theft System that protects and secures vehicles. This project consists of building two main components the first part hardware component this implements a geolocation system running on top of a Arduino microcontroller and the second part is software component. Using this geolocation, system will help in locating the car and tracing it fast in case it is stolen. This will increase the chances of recovering the car intact. In addition to tracking cars in real time and anywhere, the proposed solution aims at providing anti-theft features such as live tracking, tracing and proximity alerts as well as additional information about the vehicle.
