The increasing frequency of car theft in today's society presents serious difficulties for both car owners and law enforcement. This study offers a novel car tracking and anti-theft system that seamlessly incorporates GPS and GSM technologies into an Internet of Things (IoT) architecture, effectively addressing these challenges. This all-inclusive system provides a comprehensive solution to improve vehicle security by combining remote control functions, emergency alarm functionality, and real-time tracking capabilities.This system's primary function is to provide precise vehicle position tracking and effective communication between the vehicle and a central monitoring station by utilizing both GSM and GPS technology. The GPS module that is installed in the car records its exact location on a regular basis, and the GSM modem makes it easier to send this information to the monitoring station. A robust 32-bit ARM7 LPC2148 microcontroller, which effectively controls the data transmission methods, such as General Packet Radio Service (GPRS) or Short Message Service (SMS), based on network availability, is what makes this connection possible.This system's capacity to deliver real-time vehicle location data analysis and visualization is one of its unique selling points. Through integration with widely used mapping services like Google Earth, users can effortlessly monitor the movement of the car and detect any questionable actions or detours from the prearranged routes. This improves the tracking of the vehicle's location and makes it easier to respond quickly in the event of theft or unauthorized use.The vehicle's engine can be turned on or off remotely, and an alert system with a buzzer and an alert light can be turned on. This reduces possible losses related to car theft by enabling consumers to act quickly in the case of a security breach.To strengthen security measures even further, the system includes an emergency alarm mechanism in addition to proactive tracking and management functions. Activated through the Blynk application, the GSM module uses the Arduino UNO microcontroller's ability to identify possible theft scenarios and trigger an automatic call to a pre-programmed emergency contact number. Thorough performance testing is done to assess the system's efficacy, showing its dependability and efficiency in deterring car theft and aiding in recovery operations. All things considered, the incorporation of IoT technology into this anti-theft and vehicle tracking system presents a complete answer to improve vehicle security and give car owners peace of mind.
