An IoT based vehicle theft detection and remote engine locking system is GSM technology that helps the users identify the vehicle in theft mode and enables the controlling mechanism technique. At present day scenario, there is a rise in the number of vehicle thefts exponentially. Criminals are becoming smarter day by day and have reached the stage of applications present against the existing vehicle safety system. Vehicle theft has become a major issue which should be traced and prevented. The proposed system overcomes most of the limitations and the cost effectiveness and also reducing complications by making use of few high-priced products like ignition key. In proposed method we have the extension for controlling mechanisms which remotely locks the vehicle engine and prevents the theft. In proposed technique, user start/stop the vehicle either by using the android application or by the ignition key, tracks exact location (latitude, longitude) of the vehicle using the application. Android application is very helpful for locking the vehicle engine in case of theft and upon rash driving of vehicles. In this way vehicles are provided with better controlling mechanism and thus reducing the crimes.
