Abstract:
Fingerprint based car ignition system is a system that is based on biometrics; the technology of using human body characteristics such as fingerprints, irises, voice patterns, facial patterns and hand measurement for authentication purposes, being extensively used in forensic as well as commercial applications.
The system is designed in such a way that replaces the existing manual ignition system of a vehicle with an automatic system that is based on the fingerprint recognition of the user. The engine starts when the user puts his finger on the fingerprint sensor and has been verified. The system has options of enrollment and un-enrollment of different users. It allows user to switch between the ignition of the vehicle with his fingerprint and keys by enabling and disabling the system respectively. This can be accessed only by entering the correct password. The keypad and voice IC used are the interface between the user and the system which implements the purpose of the mentioned specifications.
