Arduino-based ignition system of motorcycle via GSM / Mohammad Fahmi Ayob

Transportation is important in our daily lives. Every year, the production of vehicles in Malaysia increased as time passes by and one of them are motorcycles as their common means of transportation. Along with the increment of users of motorcycle, motorcycle theft is also a typical problem over the years. In this study, a device is developed for theft prevention. Due to this problem, the owner would have a device connected to the motorcycle so that whenever it is used, it can alert them and give them additional feature such as turning off the ignition of the motorcycle. In this study, GSM GPRS would be used along with Arduino board which is instructed by phone to send instruction to the remote alarm device. It also gives control of the ignition of the motorcycle through the SMS features. The software component is the programmed Arduino board modules, connected to the phone via GSM which is the medium of communication of the user to the motorcycle and also serve as the main controller of the entire system. The result obtained shows that the proposed method can be potential motorcycle security measure as an alternative solution.
