Abstract

The first case of car theft was happened in 1896. It was happened a decade after gas-powered cars were invented. From that time until today, cars have been a good target for thieves. It is because, cars are valuable, easy to resell, and have market. Therefore, car security system has always been a matter of concern among car owners. Advancement in technology enables new and more innovative methods of vehicle safety to be introducing into the market. Today's vehicle security systems mostly only have to lock or unlock the door and sounding the siren in the case of intrusion. The siren can only alert those who are near the vehicle during an emergency and this shows that the existing security systems sometimes are not effective. The main objective of this project is to improve the existing system by developing a sophisticated car alarm system based on combination of GSM modem, PIC 16F877 A microcontroller, shock sensor, and ultrasonic motion detection sensor. This system is used to send short message service (SMS) to owner when it is triggered. This project will be expected to enhance the capability of the existing system and cost of the system is reduced so it should have good application value in future as well as reduce the statistic of stolen cars.
