Fingerprint based vehicle security and control

Vehicle has become an indispensable part in life to keep pace with the fast moving world. Protection against unauthorized use and gearless easy control of speed constitute concern of the researchers. To protect the vehicle from any unauthorized access an economical fingerprint recognition technique is proposed herewith for keyless ignition of car. If the fingerprint of the user is verified then only he can use it. The multipurpose cost effective prototype model for the security system built on the microcontroller also serves for control of speed based on fingerprints. The change of speed of the vehicle using the different fingerprint images reduces the burden of manual gear shifting. This additional feature will help the physically disabled persons to independently drive a fourwheeler.
