Monitoring Security in a Vehicle Using a Mobile Application

Today it can still be seen that the lack of technology in old and low-cost vehicles does not allow basic security remote monitoring. For this reason, it is necessary to update its technology, installing electronic systems based on free hardware to perform readings in the vehicles. In addition, mobile devices allow viewing this information remotely using the Internet. In this work, the monitoring of security in a vehicle is carried out using a mobile application. For this, the door state and the vehicle’s internal temperature are read. This electronic system is based on the ESP32 board that has a WiFi communication module to connect to the internet. This is programmed using the Arduino IDE environment. On the other hand, the mobile application installed on a mobile phone is constantly updated and alerts in case of changes. This application is developed in App inventor. A cloud database in Firebase is used to interconnect these two stations, which serves as a container to exchange information. As result, a product acceptance test was applied, obtaining a qualification that validate this proposal. © 2022, The Author(s), under exclusive license to Springer Nature Switzerland AG.
