Praveen %J International Journal of Scientific Engineering and Technology %D 2013 %I %X This paper introduces an design of next generation auto theft prevention system. As vehicles become more sophisticated, vehicle security systems must be stronger than ever before. A modern vehicle utilizes remote keyless entry system and immobilizer system as the main weaponry against vehicle theft.Project proposed here aims to design a next generation auto theft prevention system by adding significant enhancements and modernizing the existing system and thus try to overcome the drawbacks. There is a long list of features implemented in this project smart gravitational lock, cryptographic keyless entry, touch screen ignition, etc., The features are implemented with the help of 3-axis MEMS Accelerometer, 3-axis MEMS Magnetometer, IEEE 802.15.4 wireless networking protocol, TFT display, GPS Receiver, GSM cellular modem. %K ¡ª Smart Gravitational Lock %K Cryptographic Keyless Entry %K Touch Screen Ignition %K MEMS Accelerometer %K MEMS Magnetometer %K IEEE 802.15.4 %K GPS Receiver %K GSM modem %U http://ijset.com/ijset/publication/v2s3/paper5.pdf
