ACKNOWLEDGEMENT

First and foremost, I would like to praise ALLAH SWT for His blessing. He gave me physical and mental strength to carry on my final year project up to completion.

I also would like to express gratitude and thanks to my supervisor, Mr Abd Shukur bin Ja’afar for his support, encouragement, guidance, advice and unfailing patience throughout the duration of the project. His encouragement and guidance are truly appreciated. Otherwise, this project has not been possible. I have learnt a lot under his guidance, be it practicaly or theoritically.

I would like to thank my beloved mum, dad and all family members for their encouragement and never ending support. Their support and lovely companionship is another important source of strength for me. Without their devoted love and sacrifices, none of this would have been possible.

Other than that, I am also grateful to all my lovely friends especially for Norhidayah, Nor Hasrimin, Vijayan Kanasabai and others who really help me out and giving me opinions along implementation of this project.

ABSTRAK

Tahun demi tahun, kes kecurian kereta semakin meningkat secara mendadak di Malaysia. Statistik yg dikeluarkan oleh pihak polis mendedahkan bahawa sebanyak 5,920 kereta dari jenama Proton telah dicuri sepanjang bulan Januari sehingga bulan Oktober tahun lepas. Sebagai pemilik kereta, kita perlukan satu sistem sekuriti untuk melindungi kereta daripada sebarang ancaman. Kita tidak boleh menyelesaikan permasalahan ini secara menyeluruh, tetapi masih ada pelbagai cara untuk melindungi kereta. SMS Reminder for Car Alert Alarm System merupakan

sistem yang dicipta sebagai langkah untuk melindungi kereta dari sebarang ancaman. Sistem ini adalah sistem sekuriti yang melindungi dan memberitahu pemilik kereta tentang sebarang kejadian pada kereta yang perlu diberi perhatian sewajarnya. Apabila penderia pada sistem penggera kereta diaktifkan, modul ini akan memaparkan sistem SMS untuk memberitahu kepada pemilik kereta. Projek ini direka menggunakan pemancar yang memancarkan isyarat kepada penerima, yang berhubung dengan sistem kontrol yang dikenali sebagai mikropengawal. Apabila litar penggera berbunyi, ia akan mengesan voltan untuk dihantar kepada mikropengawal. Perkakasan dihubungkan kepada GSM modem melalui perisian

Micro C Compiler aturcara bergrafik dengan menggunakan kabel serial

communication RS232 di mana ia dapat digunakan untuk memapar dan meghantar

isyarat kawalan kepada modem. AT Commands merupakan satu kod isyarat kawalan

CHAPTER I

INTRODUCTION

This chapter will give a basic introduction to how the idea of this project generated. The chapter contains introduction, objective of the project, problem statement, scopes of work, brief methodology, and report structure.

1.1 Introduction

A car alert alarm system using short messaging system (SMS) is a security system that is designed to protect and alert the user on certain happening that need prompt attention to the car. This system is collaborated with sensor that is electronic device used to sense signal at a particular situation. When these situations occur, the sensor will transmit the signal to the GSM modem/ user‟s mobile phones. Users can make prompt attention to overcome the problem.

In general, the project is fully hardware configuration and categorized into two parts: electronic and telecommunication area involved, where each carries 40% and 60% of the overall project respectively. This project is consists of a transmitter, which transmit signals to another device which is the receiver that link with control system which defined as PIC microcontroller. The alarm will arm and it will sample its voltage then transmits it to PIC microcontroller. The Micro C Compiler programming can be used to monitor and transmit controlling signals to the modem by connecting a serial communication port RS232 between GSM modem and the hardware. AT command is used to control the function of the modem.

SMS Reminder for Car Alert Alarm System is designed for the cars‟ owner to keep an eye on their car from any harm. Stolen car cases are increasing rapidly here in Malaysia. Besides that, the news about stolen laptops from the car is increasing day by day.

The project will be done is related to Short Message Service (SMS). The project aim is design a SMS Reminder for Car Alert Alarm System.

1.2 Project Objective

The main purposed of this project are to design an SMS Reminder for Car Alert Alarm System. Therefore, the objectives as below should be achieved.

I. To design an alarm alert system that is capable to help user handles and manages the safety of their car.

II. To develop an SMS Reminder Alert system by using PIC microcontroller that is connected to the GSM module with RS232 connector.

1.3 Problem Statement

(20)

I. The rapid rise of cases of the car being burgled by the unauthorized users. These situations are excessively happen when the users park their car at some dangerous place or unauthorized parking

II. When the car‟s user is far from their car, they would not know if their car is alarming. Hence, that is why this car alarm alert system is proposed to prompt the user by using short messaging service (SMS).

1.4 Scope of Project

As we are concern with scopes of work while doing the project, so it must be create properly. The Scope of work as listed below:

I. Study on the PIC microcontroller & the control system of the circuit II. Study on the application of the GSM modem

2.2 Introduction to SMS

SMS appreared on the wireless scene in 1991 in Europe. The European standard for digital wireless, now known as the Global System for Mobile Communications (GSM), included short messaging services from the outset [14].

In North America, SMS was made available initially on digital wireless networks built by early pioneers such as BellSouth Mobility, PrimeCo, and Nextel, among others. These digital wireless networks are based on GSM, code division multiple access (CDMA), and time division multiple access (TDMA) standards. Network consolidation from mergers and acquisitions has resulted in large wireless networks having nationwide or international coverageand sometimes supporting more than one wireless technology.

These new classes of service provider‟s demands network-grade products that can easily provide a uniform solution, enable ease of operation and administration, and accomodate existing subscriber capacity, message throughput, future growth, and services reliably. Short messaging service centre (SMSC) solutions based on an intelligent network (IN) approach are well suited to satisfy these requirements, while adding all the benefits of IN implementations.

SMS provides a mechanism for transmitting short messages to and from wireless devices. The service makes use of an SMSC, which acts as a store-and-forward system for short messages. The wireless network provides the mechanisms required to find the destinations station(s) and transports short messages between the SMSCs and wireless stations.
