Abstract: Currently most of the people having their own vehicle, theft is happening on parking and sometimes driving insecure places. The safe of
vehicles is extremely essential for public vehicles. Vehicle engine locking system is installed in the vehicle, to locking engine motor. The main
objective of this paper is to protect the vehicle from unauthorized access by giving a secure password and controlling it by using GSM technology. A
four digit password is set as default, using a 4x3 keypad and is displayed on the 16x2 LCD. If in case we enter a wrong password a message is sent to
the owner’s mobile number and a buzzer is heard after a delay of mili seconds time. The main purpose of this project is to prevent vehicle from theft.
The functionality is achieved by detecting vehicle status in theft mode and by sending an SMS to owner of vehicle. The owner can then send back
the SMS in order to disable ignition of the vehicle. Thus in this way the crimes can be reduced to great extent as vehicles today are being stolen in
large number. Hence vehicle today require high security which can be achieved with the help of this application. How this system works is when a
person tries to steal the vehicle , the microcontroller is interrupted and the command is send SMS to the GSM modem. This is done in order to stop
the engine. Motor is being used in this system in order to indicate vehicle ON/OFF state. This paper mainly deals with the concept of vehicle
security and how it can be implemented to the vehicle engine. The GSM technology is used for sending messages to known the status of the vehicle
engine.

I. INTRODUCTION
In Present days thefts in automobile is increasing at rapid rate. So to protect automobiles we developed system “Vehicle engine
locking system using embedded based GSM technology” which is operated by using 8051 microcontroller with GSM module. It is
very cheap and simpler compared to other antitheft vehicle locking systems. The Global system for mobile communications (GSM) is
the most popular and accepted standard for mobile phones in the world. It operates in 900 MHz frequency. Many people use GSM
service across the world. The usage of the GSM standard makes international roaming very common between mobile users, by
accessing subscribers to use their mobile phones in many areas of the world. The main purpose of this project is to prevent vehicle
from theft. The functionality is achieved by detecting vehicle status in theft mode and by sending an SMS to owner of vehicle. The
owner can then send back the SMS in order to disable the ignition of the vehicle. The GSM based system is one of the most
important system, which integrate GSM .

2). GSM MODEM:-

The GSM Modem comes with a serial interface through which the modem can be controlled using AT command interface. Here we
use a SIMCOM made (SIM300) modem interfaced with the microcontroller operates in 900 MHz frequency. The GSM modem
specific commands are adapted to the services offered by a GSM modem such as: text messaging, calling a given phone number,
deleting memory locations etc. Since the main objective for this application is to show how to send and receive text messages, only a
subset of the AT-commands set needs to be implemented. Main AT commands: “AT command set for GSM Mobile Equipment”
describes the Main AT commands to communicate via a serial interface with the GSM subsystem of the phone.

3). 16×2 LCD DISPLAY UNIT:-

A program must interact with the outside world using input and output devices that communicate directly with a human being. One of
the most common devices attached to an controller is an LCD display. Some of the most common LCDs connected to the controllers
are 16X1, 16x2 and 20x2 displays. This means 16 characters per line by 1 line 16 characters per line by 2 lines and 20 characters per
line by 2 lines, respectively.

4).POWER SUPPLY:-
This power supply section is required to convert AC signal to DC signal and also to reduce the amplitude of the signal. The available
voltage signal from the mains is 230V/50Hz which is an AC voltage, but the required is DC voltage(no frequency) with the amplitude
of +5V and +12V for various applications. In this section we have Transformer, Bridge rectifier, are connected serially and voltage
regulators for +5V and +12V (7805 and 7812) via a capacitor (1000µF) in parallel are connected parallel as shown in the circuit
diagram

5).IGNITION MODULE:-
An ignition control module (ICM) is a computer that controls the ignition coil or the ignition coil's firing time. The ignition control
module is the heart of an automobile's ignition system, because it regulates spark generation within the engine. The ignition control
module relies on the car battery to provide the 'spark' that sets the ignition system in motion and then ultimately turns on the vehicle.
In other words, a car's ignition has the job of taking the 12V of battery within the car, and using it to generate a high voltage that can
then be sent to spark plugs, which start the vehicle. The ignition control module is normally located inside or near the car's distributor
and is usually coated with insulating compounds to protect its internal electronic components.

6).VIBRATION SENSOR:-
The Vibration Sensor Detector is designed for the security practice When Vibration Sensor Alarm recognizes movement or vibration,
it sends a signal to either control panel Developed a new type of omni-directional high sensitivity Security Vibration Detector with
omni-directional detection This sensor buffers a piezoelectric transducer. As the transducer is displaced from the mechanical neutral
axis, bending creates strain within the piezoelectric element and generates voltages. Various machine operating conditions concerning
temperature extremes, magnetic fields, vibration range, frequency range, electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) and electrostatic
discharge (ESD) conditions and the required signal quality necessitate the need for a variety of sensors.

7). DC MOTOR:-
Our DC motor driver family provides the simplest and most flexible IC solution available for driving brushed DC motors. current
limiting and flexible current regulation modes. Monitoring and safety features such as enable cooler running Features that simplify
designs include integrated power MOSFETs and a charge pump-less power architecture that provides integrated temperatures for long

lived operation. DC motors were the first type widely used, since they could be powered from existing direct-current lighting power
distribution systems.

8). DC MOTOR:-
A DC motor is any of a class of rotary electrical machines that converts direct current electrical energy into mechanical energy. The
most common types rely on the forces produced by magnetic fields. Nearly all types of DC motors have some internal mechanism,
either electromechanical or electronic to periodically change the direction of current flow in part of the motor. DC motors were the
first type widely used, since they could be powered from existing direct-current lighting power distribution systems. A DC motor's
speed can be controlled over a wide range, using either a variable supply voltage or by changing the strength of current in its field
windings. Small DC motors are used in tools, toys, and appliances. The universal motor can operate on direct current but is a
lightweight motor used for portable power tools and appliances. Larger DC motors are used in propulsion of electric vehicles, elevator
and hoists, or in drives for steel rolling.

III .METHODOLOGY
The entire system is installed in the engine along with GSM modem. After giving the power supply and checking the status of the
GSM, If the status of the GSM is off, then we can operate the entire system with a switch. The entire system is installed in the engine
along with GSM modem. After giving power and checking the status of the GSM, an SMS is send to the owners mobile. On receiving
the conformation start the engine and vehicle moves forward. If the status of the GSM is off, then we can operate the engine system
with a switch. The main purpose of this project is to prevent vehicle from theft. The functionality is achieved by detecting vehicle
status in theft mode and by sending an SMS to owner of vehicle. The owner can then send back the SMS in order to disable ignition
of the vehicle. To protect automobiles we developed technology which is operated by using microcontroller 8051 with GSM module.

2. Using android application we can also stop the engine.

3. Microphone could be interfaced to the GSM/GPS module so that during theft activity voice call could be established with the
owner.
4. This system will be used in all automobiles vehicle in next generation due to its features. In addition to this we can also add extra
features like GPS to identify the location of the vehicle and also to prevent vehicle collision and accidents.

V. CONCLUSION
This method of the design is unique and it has features like low cost, and reliable theft control system for an automobile It is a threat
to vehicle thieves and it cannot be accessed by an unknown persons since it is based on GSM technology. In our project the security
system is based on embedded control which provides security against theft. The GSM modem provides information to the user on his
request. The owner can access the position of the vehicle at any instant. She/he sends a message in order to lock the vehicle. This
project deals with the design & development of a theft control system for vehicle as well as protect the life of rider. In this paper, we
have proposed a novel method of vehicle engine locking system used to lock vehicle engine by using GSM technology. When the
theft identified, the responsible person send SMS to the microcontroller, then issue the control signal to stop the engine motor.
