Advanced protection for automobiles using MSP430

Abstract

As the demand for automobiles rises for everyone, there has been a continuous increase in the number of car thefts. This paper presents a new mechanism for increasing the security for automobiles by employing fingerprint-based biometric security system. Drunken drivers will not be in stable condition, and so the rash driving is the inconvenience for other road users and also the question of life and death. This paper also presents a new automatic engine-locking system which detects the alcohol content on the driver, and the ignition system automatically turns off if the alcohol content of the driver is more than the threshold level. The entire security system, alcohol detection system, and auto-braking system by detecting sudden and any fast moving objects on roads have been implemented using MSP430. The greater advantage of MSP430 is that consumes low power which can increase battery life. The RISC architecture employed by MSP430 is user-friendly and provides greater scope for new innovations.
