Development of a safety-focused electronic control system for vehicle ignition through SMS commands for an ECE project.

Introduction

The use of mobile phones has become an integral part of our daily lives, but it can also be a source of distraction while driving. The SMS Controlled Vehicle Ignition System is a project that aims to address this issue by implementing a system that allows the driver to remotely control the ignition of their vehicle using SMS messages. This system provides an added layer of safety by ensuring that the driver is not distracted by their phone while driving.

Problem Statement

The main problem that this project seeks to address is the issue of distracted driving. With the increasing use of mobile phones, drivers are often tempted to use their phones while on the road, leading to accidents and injuries. By implementing a system that allows the driver to control the ignition of their vehicle using SMS messages, we aim to reduce the instances of distracted driving and improve road safety.

Existing System

The existing systems for vehicle ignition control usually rely on physical keys or key fobs. While these systems are effective in preventing unauthorized access to the vehicle, they do not address the issue of distracted driving. The driver still has to physically interact with the ignition system, which can be a source of distraction while driving.

Disadvantages

– The existing systems do not address the issue of distracted driving
– Physical keys can be lost or stolen
– Key fobs can malfunction

Proposed System

The proposed SMS Controlled Vehicle Ignition System aims to address the shortcomings of the existing systems by allowing the driver to remotely control the ignition of their vehicle using SMS messages. This system will provide an added layer of security and safety by ensuring that the driver is not distracted by their phone while driving.

Advantages

– Increased safety by reducing instances of distracted driving
– Remote control of the vehicle ignition
– Added layer of security
– Convenient and easy to use

Features

– Remote control of vehicle ignition using SMS messages
– Ability to add multiple authorized phone numbers
– Emergency override feature for authorized users
– Real-time status updates and notifications

Conclusion

In conclusion, the SMS Controlled Vehicle Ignition System is a project that aims to improve road safety by addressing the issue of distracted driving. By allowing the driver to remotely control the ignition of their vehicle using SMS messages, this system provides an added layer of security and convenience. With its features such as remote control, multiple authorized phone numbers, and emergency override, this system is designed to make driving safer and more secure.
