The aim for this project is to design an effective and reliable car security system, "arjacking is not something strange and the amount of vehicles reported stolen has ncreased sharply over the years. The security system is designed specifically to cater for Jroton cars, which are prone to carjacking, due to its popularity and quantity. This system argets the moderate earner as main customer and offers quite a reliable way to reduce >arked cars from being stolen. Thefocus of thisproject is on improving the current security system available in Proton Car. The circuit design part focuses on the switching aspects, specially to activate the voice alarm system and to send short message service (SMS) to ilert the car owner. Selfdiagnose system is included to identify the car problems if there is iny fault detected. The features added although are based onProton car module; however, he features can be added in other types of cars available in the market as well. The end •esult of this project is a working prototype of the security system, where a user will •eceive SMS whenever the car alarm system is being triggered. The overall system successfully reduces the chance of a false alarm situation to make the car security system tiore effective and reduces carelessness committed by owners in handlingtheir cars.
