The research study aims to determine the effectiveness of a vehicle's Call & SMS Alert System. Significantly, it aims to: design and development of call & SMS notification for anti-theft system and develop and integrate the design elements of the device.
Technology innovations and inventions have brought benefits to human beings. With the fast advancement of technology in recent years, an increasing number of intelligent technology systems have used computer vision and pattern recognition algorithms. Many common problems, like vehicle theft, can be resolved using these technology systems. Vehicle theft, like vehicle hijacking, is a frequent problem in the Philippines and internationally. Vehicle hijacking has been an increasingly serious problem over the last and recent decade. The rate of hijackings is higher in locations where a car is financially out of reach but nonetheless a need or status symbol.
According to E.T Exclusivethesis, these days’ hijackers are armed with dangerous and fatal weapons in 90% of the incidents. Typically, there is no need to deploy the weapons because the sheer sight of them causes the ordinary individual to abandon their car. But the weapons aren't just for show; car hijackers aren't scared to use them, and then just 1% of car hijackings result in a fatality. Hijackers see cars and steal them quickly, they can sell them and bring several thousand dollars in minutes or second, hijackers are heartless and ruthless criminals and are provoked not by the hurt they cause in other people but by greed for money and the thrill of stealing a car from a total stranger. The rise in car hijacking is complex stemming from a variety of social issues coupled with difficult economic times. Cars are growing more expensive, even though they are becoming less necessary in one's life. People rely on their autos for mobility, and many car owners would be unable to tell you what public transit options are available to get them to the same areas. They are "crimes of opportunity" committed by people who need to satiate their fix or other desperate people
