Abstract

The Bluetooth wireless technology was used in automating a land vehicle security alarm system. The Bluetooth technology in this study highlights that the connectivity between Bluetooth devices can he utilized as a long-range proximity sensor Bluetooth featured cellular phone and a Bluetooth serial module was used in the study. The Bluetooth cellular phone and the Bluetooth serial module were paired together. The alarm system was configured to automatically connect to the paired Bluetooth cellular phone wirelessly upon sensing its presence. A Zilog Z8F082A microcontroller was used to control the electrical system of the vehicle and also to facilitate the actions coming from the impact sensor unit, ignition key switch and the Bluetooth serial module. Electro-mechanical relays and a ULN2003A darlington transistor array were used to buffer and drive the control signals coming from the microcontroller. The impact sensor unit determines the presence of vibration caused during impact while the ignition key switch determines if the main ignition key switch of the vehicle was turned on. The study showed that the Bluetooth technology could be implemented to be an automated long-range proximity sensor that can he applied to security alarm systems.
