Vehicle Surveillance Alarm System in Focus of Application Software

Society has been very concern about the important of safety and security that leads
the manufacturing company to design several of security systems ranging from the
simple to complex systems. This report present information on the research involves
in Vehicle Surveillance Alarm System, which is purposely design for vehicle security
and safety since most of the road transportation lack of security and safety features,
which may cause vehicle fatalities that increase from year to year. Hence, the
function of the Vehicle Surveillance Alarm System is to trigger an alarm if any
abnormal condition happens to inform and alert the vehicle driver about the situation
through the use of advance warning messages. This research covers the studies of the
application software that involves with manipulating data from the serial port and
displaying the data into a proper GUI design. This report features the introduction that
explains the background of study, problem statement, significant of the project,
objectives and the scope of study of the project research. The author also writes the
literature review or theory from several researchers for supporting information or
reference to support the project research. The software development methodology use
by the author for the project research is taken from several steps of Software
Development Life Cycle and Waterfall Model in order to suit the research needs,
which also used the concept of static data applied in the prototype. Procedure
identification is briefly discussed in order to complete the research and describe tools
of hardware and software use to design the product. The author visualize the results
of the findings and discusses more details on the serial interface, database storage and
GUI interface of the system including the software chosen to accomplish the project
of the Vehicle Surveillance Alarm System. The author writes the conclusions and
recommendations for further research and future enhancement that includes in the
final chapter of the report. The end-result of the research is the static vehicle alarm
system software prototype that satisfies the basic needs of vehicle alarm system. The
prototype visualize how the vehicle alarm system enables the vehicle driver to be
alert by any uncertainty behaviors from the vehicle component, retrieve and view
available data of the surveillance history records through the system.
