Conceptual Study and Design of Vehicle Alarm Notification System Using GSM Network

This project focuses on studying and designing of vehicle alarm by using GSM device as well as to provide the user with information via SMS on whether an intrusion or some other possible factors have triggered the alarm. Nowadays, all vehicles are equipped with an alarm system that will alert the vehicle owner if there is any intrusion detected. However, when the vehicle alarm is triggered, the vehicle owner will not make aware of the siren. They might be somewhere far away from their vehicle parking and sometimes there is no intrusion instead there is a false alarm. Alarm trigger for a long time will cause the vehicle’s battery to decrease and will annoy by passers.
This project is subdivided into two phases. First, the study on how to integrate GSM devices to send SMS to the vehicle owner's mobile phone. The second phase of this project is to design and develop a mechanism that can alert the vehicle owner from remote using GSM.
As a proof of concept, the proposed mechanism is then validated through a lab scale experiment. This project is expected to enhance the existing alarm system to benefit all users in order to protect their vehicle.
