Design of an Anti-theft Alarm System for Vehicles using IoT

Abstract

Automobiles have become one of the most sought-after targets for criminals due to their worldwide popularity. Crime is reflected in the statistics, which show that over the years, the crime rate of vehicle theft has been on the rise. As part of the fight against this crime, the vehicles come with certain systems incorporated to avoid this type of situations; obtaining many outstanding results. In this research project, a system was developed that allows through the application of the Internet of Things (IoT), the management of software and hardware technologies that allow the user to have access to various actions, such as vehicle location through the global positioning system (GPS), and identification of the offender, through radio frequency identification (RFID), as well as the global system of mobile communications (GSM). The objective of the research is to design a mobile and IoT application to reduce robberies in the department of Lima-Peru, using the scrum methodology. The result obtained is the design of the mobile application, with its anti-theft system, vehicle blocking and notification of unauthorized ignition.
