Secure Wheels: Fingerprint-Enabled IoT Vehicle Security

Abstract

The Secure Wheels: Finger print-enabled IOT vehicle security solution that utilizes a NodeMCU (ESP8266) as the microcontroller (201). It incorporates fingerprint sensors (202) for authorization, GPS (203) for location tracking, and GSM (204) for SMS alerts. When a registered fingerprint is scanned, the vehicle unlocks; if unauthorized, an SMS with the vehicle's GPS coordinates is sent. Each successful access is logged and displayed on a web server (208), providing real-time data through a connected webpage using display unit (207). The system is powered by the vehicle's battery and connects to a 24/7 Wi-Fi network. Additional features include a digilock (205) and buzzer (206) for enhanced security, aiming to improve adaptability and strengthen vehicle authentication.

Specification

Description:The proposed IoT-based vehicle authentication system leverages the NodeMCU (ESP8266) (201) as its
core microcontroller, providing a robust platform for connectivity and control. Central to the system is a
fingerprint or biometric sensor (202), which serves as the primary method of user authorization. When a
registered fingerprint is scanned, the system unlocks the vehicle door; conversely, if an unrecognized
fingerprint is detected, the GSM module (204) promptly sends an SMS alert containing the vehicle's GPS
coordinates (203) to the owner, enhancing security by enabling immediate awareness of unauthorized
access attempts. Each successful fingerprint scan is logged, and relevant user data-including login time
and GPS coordinates-is pushed to a web server (208), where it is stored and made accessible via a user-
friendly webpage displayed on a connected unit (207). , C , Claims:1. The Secure wheels: Finger print enabled IOT vehicle security (100) comprising:
 Node MCU (ESP8266) (201)
 Finger print sensors (202)
 GPS Module (203)
 GSM Module (204)
 Digilock (205)
 Buzzer (206)
 Display (207)
 Webserver (208)
2. The Secure wheels: Finger print enabled IOT vehicle security (100) as claimed in claim
1, uses finger print sensors (202), one to Scans a user's fingerprint and matches it
against stored templates. If the fingerprint matches a registered user, the system
unlocks the vehicle. If it doesn't, the system initiates an alert.
3. The Secure wheels: Finger print enabled IOT vehicle security (100) as claimed in claim
2, NodeMCU (ESP8266) (201) acts as the main processing unit of the system. It
facilitates communication between various sensors and the web server.
4. The Secure wheels: Finger print enabled IOT vehicle security (100) as claimed in claim
3, includes GPS module (203) for real time location tracking of vehicles and and GSM
module (204) sends SMS alerts containing the GPS coordinates and unauthorized
access notifications to the owner's mobile device.
5. The Secure wheels: Finger print enabled IOT vehicle security in claim 4 wherein the
system uses a Digilock (205) which is activated by the microcontroller when a registered
fingerprint is recognized, allowing the vehicle to be unlocked, a buzzer(206) which
Sounds an alarm for unauthorized access attempts, providing an additional layer of
security and alerting nearby individuals ,a display unit(207) to provide visual feedback to
users at the vehicle location and webserver(208) hosts the data collected from the
fingerprint scans and GPS tracking.
