Abstract

This paper focuses on studying and designing of vehicle alarm by using GSM network as well as to provide the user with information via SMS on whether an intrusion or some other possible factors have triggered the alarm. Nowadays, all vehicles are equipped with an alarm system that will alert the vehicle owner if there is any intrusion detected. However, when the vehicle alarm is triggered, the vehicle owner is unaware of the siren. They might be somewhere far away from their vehicle parking and sometimes there is no intrusion instead there is a false alarm. Alarm trigger for a long time will cause the vehicle’s battery to decrease and will annoy the passers-by. This paper is subdivided into two phases. First, the study on how to integrate GSM devices to send SMS to the vehicle owner's mobile phone. The second phase of this paper is to design and develop a mechanism that can alert the vehicle owner from a remote location by using GSM. As a proof of concept, the proposed mechanism is then validated through a lab scale experiment. This paper is expected to enhance the existing alarm system to benefit all users in order to protect their vehicle.
