This project was started with the sole purpose of eliminating keys as conventional method of starting the vehicle and replacing that with biometrics. The reason for going into biometrics is that its chances of being duplicated are very less. There two main purposes for this project. First, the elimination the use of key completely for igniting the vehicle. The second purpose is to cut the cost for this technology that only the premium car makers are imposing in the market. This project has been simplified to such an extent that it can also be implemented in two wheelers as well. The system only allows authorized users to start the vehicle. For a car, the Facial Recognition/Iris scanner software permits access to the user. 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. 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 as vehicle starter. This system automates vehicle security using a fingerprint based system.
