INTRODUCTION
1.1 Introduction
Now days, the statistical reports of thefts of automobile shows that drastically rising especially motor car at all over the world. This bad situation cause all over the world especially Europe has started worrying for the past of years. Indirectly, the insurance provider has started make new guideline for automobile manufacture to produce their product more secure.
2
1.2 Problem Statement
Based on the data and discussion on automobile theft, this theft cases is a problem all over the world. No one wants his vehicle stolen. Customers who make insurance claims resulting insurance companies feel pressured. This situation resulted increasing the price of insurance premiums by insurance companies. Therefore, insurance premiums affordable for low percentage of customers. Security weaknesses that are installed in the automobile causing automobile insurance premiums increased the price.

1.3 Objective
The main objective of this project is to develop, design and test the vehicle anti-theft tracking system using GSM remote that can be used to disable the vehicle and locate the vehicle’s user. The proposed system also allows the user to disable the vehicle and locate the current position of the vehicle remotely by SMS.
Objective and achievement of this project are:-
i. Develop and design based on the proposed hardware system.
ii. Develop software coding based on the proposed control system.

1.4 Thesis Layout
This thesis contains five chapters and summarized as follows:-
i. Chapter 1 it about the background of the project, which consists of an introduction, problem statement, and objectives project.
ii. Chapter 2 it regarding the literature review. It is reviewing on vehicle theft, statistics of stolen vehicle, rules and methods used by thieves to steal the car. It also discusses the previous project been used or developed by other researchers associated with this project.
iii. Chapter 3 it regarding the design procedures used to make software and hardware based on the proposed project.
iv. Chapter 4 it regarding the results and a discussion of all the tests conducted for this project.

LITERATURE VIEW
2.1 Introduction
One of the social problems in the community is vehicle theft. Contributing to this problem was found several factors including:-
i. The effect of the gap between the rich and the poor are falling further. This is among the reasons for dissatisfaction among the people. This condition occurs due to causes of crime and car theft is one crime that provides opportunities for good returns.
6 iii. Current security system is not effective and the vehicle owner carelessness did not
help for against the crime
Every state of the country and found many forms of vehicle theft. Most crime using common equipment and brute force to unlock the vehicle. Locks and security system provides little deterrent to a skilled thief vehicles.
Moreover, there are two types of vehicle thieves among them "of" the vehicle and "from" the vehicle. Thieves "of" the vehicle consists of a professional thief who stole a car to get parts and accessories, and even change the identity of the vehicle for resale. The second "from" the vehicle, the thief only stole personal items, accessories and spare parts of vehicles. Sometimes, these thieves will stops momentarily committing crimes to avoid suspicion.
7 2.1.1 Statistic of Stolen Car
Statistic by private cars stolen in 1980-1995 shows a decrease every year. After 2000, there was an increase in the number of private cars stolen significantly. In 1980-1995, a total of 5958 private cars stolen average every year. In 2005-2009, this number drastically increased more than 3.5times to 21.501 private cars are stolen every year [5].
8 2.1.2 Common Methods Used by Thieves to Steel Cars
There are many ways thieves steal vehicles such as: -
i. Keys Stolen in Burglary one of the most popular among thieves. This method increases due to increased vehicle safety systems, especially on luxury vehicles stolen by thieves is very difficult without a key [7]. Thieves will break into the
victim's house just to steal the keys inside house.
ii. Keys Left in Car is the second most common method used by thieves. Thieves will steal the vehicle when victim left the keys inside the vehicle when paying for petrol, heating the vehicle on a cold morning and went to the convenience store [7].
Thieves will take the opportunity to bring victim vehicle to another place.

2.2 Preview Works Related to the Proposed Project
An Automotive Security System for Anti-Theft is one method that has been proposed to enhance effective vehicle security system. The proposed method uses the GSM modem, and PIC microcontroller.
The structure of the proposed system is:-

2.3 SIM908
2.3.1 Power supply
The power supply range of SIM908 is from 3.2V to 4.8V. The transmitting burst will cause voltage drop and the power supply must be able to provide sufficient current up to 2A. For the VBAT input, a bypass capacitor such as a 100uF is strongly recommended, this capacitor should be placed as close as possible to SIM908 VBAT pins. The following figure is the reference design of +5V input power supply. The designed output for the power supply is 4.1V, thus a linear regulator can be used [2].
Figure 2.3: Reference circuit of the LDO power supply
12 Figure 2.4: Reference circuit of the DC-DC power supply
The single 3.7V Li-ion cell battery can be connected to SIM908 VBAT pins directly. But the Ni-Cd or Ni-MH battery must be used carefully, since their maximum voltage can rise over the absolute maximum voltage of the module and damage it [2].
When battery is used, the total impedance between battery and VBAT pins should be less than 150mOhm. The following figure shows the VBAT voltage drop at the maximum power transmit phase, and the test condition is as following [2]:
