Vehicle Security is an important issue these days due to the rising number of vehicle thefts. Also one more
issue with vehicles is handling its keys. Keys need to be carried and misplacing keys or losing them will cause a serious
issue. Here we propose a solution to this problem by using a fingerprint authenticated vehicle starter system, the system
provides a secure and hassle freeway to start/stop vehicle engine. User just needs to scan finger to start the car, no need
to carry any key. The system only allows authorized users to start the vehicle. Users can first register into the system by
scanning fingerprints. The system allows multiple users to register as authorized users. When into monitoring mode, the
system checks for users to scan. On scanning, the system checks if user is authorized user and starts vehicle for
authorized users only. Here we use an Atmega 328 Microcontroller.
The fingerprint sensor is connected to the Microcontroller and also we have an LCD display along with
push buttons and starter motor. The motor is used to demonstrate a vehicle starter. This system automates as well as
vehicle security using fingerprint based system.
