Abstract: This project is an idea to prevent bike theft and lost keys by using Bluetooth technology to integrate
bikes with Arduino modules and mobile phones. When the user removes the key from the bike and the distance
between the phone and the key exceeds a certain limit, the buzzer in the system will sound, thus we will
receive a warning and the ignition system will turn off.

I. INTRODUCTION
The anti-theft device or system we show is based on Bluetooth technology and is used by the Arduino Uno
module. Although anti-theft devices such as touch locks [3] are already on the bike, we see the potential for
bike theft.

That’s why we put a simple Bluetooth system that will prevent bike theft. It uses Bluetooth technology to
integrate bike keys with Arduino modules and mobile phones to prevent bike theft and key loss.

Through this project we propose motorcycle anti-theft system; This way, if the owner leaves the key [9] on
the bike and the distance between the phone and the key exceeds a certain limit, the system gives an audible
warning... a buzzer so that the vehicle owner can be notified. It is done by integrating the Arduino module
with the Bluetooth of the owner's phone.

We focus on motorcycle theft using the master key. Thieves use "master keys" to carry out theft operations.
These keys are made at home using sharp and molten metal as per their needs. The defendant reached the bike
and used his hand to insert the key into the navigation lock, thereby disabling the system.

II. HARDWARE REQUIREMENTS

2.1 Arduino Uno

Figure 1: Arduino Uno board

Arduino Uno is an open microcontroller board based on the Microchip ATmega328P

microcontroller developed by Arduino.cc and first released in 2010. The board is equipped with digital and
analog input/output (I/O) pins for connecting to various expansion cards (shields). ) and other circuits.[1,4]
The board has 14 digital I/O pins (6 of which can output PWM), 6 analog I/O pins and can be powered using
the Arduino IDE (Integrated Development Environment) via a type B USB cable. It can be powered by a
USB cable or another 9-volt battery, but it accepts voltage from 7 to 20 volts. Similar to Arduino Nano and
Leonardo.
Any of the 14 digital pins and 6 analog pins on the Uno can be used as input or output under software control
(using the Pin Mode(), Digital Write() and Digital Read( ) function).[8,12] They operate at 5 volts.
2.2 Bluetooth Module

Figure 2: HC-05 Bluetooth module

HC-05 is a Bluetooth module [6,11] that can be used to provide wireless communication between devices
or microcontrollers. It can operate in master mode or slave mode and can be configured using AT
commands.[10]

2.3 Buzzer

Figure 3: Buzzer

A buzzer is a simple but effective electroacoustic device designed to produce a distinctive buzzing or beeping
sound. Buzzers are often used as audible indicators or sirens to detect special events or conditions in various
electronic and electrical systems. [2,5] They have vibrating diaphragms, or piezoelectric elements, that
produce a loud, visible sound when activated by electric current. [7,13] Buzzers are used in many applications
including household appliances, industrial machines, alarm systems and electronic games. The simple design
and reliable operation of buzzers have made them an essential part of daily life, providing a simple alarm to
convey messages or warn of certain situations
2.4 Relay Module

Figure 4: Relay Module

Power relay module is an electrical switch made by an electromagnet. The electromagnet is activated by low
voltage from the microcontroller. When activated, the generator kicks in to turn the circuit on or off. [14,15]

A simple relay has a soft metal core or coil wound around the solenoid; The metal yoke gives a negative path
to the magnetic relay module. load. They are often used to control lights, motors, and other high-energy
devices and can be controlled by a variety of signals such as switches, sensors, or microcontrollers.

III. SOFTWARE REQUIREMENTS

3.1Arduino IDE 2.0

Figure 5: Arduino IDE user interface

On October 18, 2019, Arduino Pro IDE (alpha preview version) was released. A beta preview was
subsequently released on March 1, 2021, and was renamed IDE 2.0. The system still uses the Arduino CLI
(command line interface), but improvements include further job enhancements, autocomplete support, and
Git integration. The front end of the application is based on the Eclipse Theia open source IDE. Acronyms
and Acronyms
Behind the scenes, Arduino IDE 2.0 improves the runtime and in-app updates for our boards and software
libraries. Speaking of updates, Arduino IDE 2.0 can also be updated from the app, saving us the trouble of
downloading the latest version from the Arduino website.

3.2 Application developed for the system

Figure 6: Developed application user

We created an app for the working of our anti-theft system using MIT App Inventor. We named the app
PROJECT EDEN.
It is used to know whether our phone is connected to the Bluetooth module of anti-theft system or not.
We gave an option to change the background of the user interface.
The reason we created this app is that the apps available in online platforms like Play Store do not have auto re-
connect feature.

3.3 MIT app inventor

Figure 7: MIT app inventor logo

MIT App Inventor is a web application that allows you to create applications for Android and iOS devices
using a visual programming environment. You can drag and drop blocks of code to create the functionality
and appearance of your application. It is managed by the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT).
IV. FLOWCHART

Figure 8: Flowchart of the system

V. WORKING

The system is activated only when the key is inserted.

Case-1: If the mobile phone of user is within the range of the Bluetooth module of anti-theft system, then the
app will show 'connected' and buzzer is not activated and ignition system of the user's vehicle will function.

Case-2: If the mobile phone of user is out of the range of the Bluetooth module, then the app will show
'disconnected' and the buzzer goes off, alarming or alerting the user. The ignition system is also disabled by
relay module.

When the mobile phone enters the range of the Bluetooth module again, the app reconnects the phone with
the Bluetooth module, deactivating the buzzer and reactivating ignition system.

Figure 14: Device back in range, buzzer off

The results show that the anti-theft system is successfully implemented. Whenever the user’s phone is within
the range of the Bluetooth module, the app shows ‘connected’ and the buzzer is inactive and when the phone
is out of range the app shows ‘connected’ and the buzzer goes off, alarming/alerting the user.
VII. FUTURE SCOPE

We can incorporate a GPS system into the anti-theft system such that the user gets the location of the
motorbike when the buzzer goes off.

We can add an automatic handle lock mechanism to prevent theft.

Addition of a sim module to the system so that the sim module sends a message to the user during theft, in
case the internet is unavailable.

Activation of arm button so that the user can arm (turn on) or unarm (turn off) the system.

Password protection for the system.

VIII. CONCLUSION

The anti-theft system is an effective way to prevent motorcycle thefts and it also prevents losing the key in
the bike key-hole. It is low cost. Its mechanism is simple compared to the existing anti-theft systems, so the
owner can troubleshoot. It provides fast response.
