RFID based Automated Car Theft Detection and Arresting system

TL;DR

This paper proposes a prototype RFID-based system for detecting and arresting stolen cars by using passive RFID tags inside vehicles and a network of scanners at city checkpoints.

Contribution

It introduces a novel RFID-based architecture for car theft detection and arresting, integrating passive tags and centralized monitoring.

Findings

Prototype system successfully detects stolen cars in simulated environment

RFID tags provide unique identification for each vehicle

System enables quick response to theft reports

Abstract

In this paper, we are presenting a new approach to car theft detection and arresting system using RFID technology. The main purpose of this paper is to establish the concept and the architecture of the whole system. The system which we are able to develop still now is basically a demonstration model or a prototype of the system. The key thing in this system is the passive RFID tags which will be hidden inside the car and act as a unique identification number for the car. The information of all such tags will be maintained by a centralized server. In case of any car being theft, a report should be logged into the server by an authorized user and a network of RFID scanners installed in different check post, traffic signal or toll plazas in the city will search for the reported tag. Once it is found necessary security system would be activated for arresting the car.
