Design of digital ignition control of compact vehicle engine using fingerprint

Over the past decade, vehicle thefts in México have increased, mainly due to the lack of accessible and effective security systems. Most engine ignition control systems are available only in high-end cars, while more than 90% of the population uses mid-range or low-end compact vehicles that lack this technology. To address this need, the design of a security system that uses a fingerprint reader, together with a commercial control card and communication modules, to offer an intuitive method of engine ignition control in low-end vehicles is proposed. This approach seeks to improve automotive security at a reasonable cost.
