Anti-Theft System for Car Security using RFID

Abstract

The use of Radio Frequency Identification (RFID)system for security purposes is becoming increasingly common because of the cost effectiveness of the technology. This paper has presented an anti-theft system for car security using RFID. The system combines Arduino Uno module and RFID technologies. Initial design was carried out using Proteus software for implementing the Arduino electronic circuit. Serial communication link exists between the RFID and the Arduino. An immobilizer that ensured that the car engine stops if other strategies fail was incorporated as security strategy. The system was built considering cost effectiveness and operational efficiency.
