This project presents a Face Detection Based Intelligent Vehicle Control and Tracking System that allows vehicle access only to an authorized driver using face recognition technology. A GPS module continuously records the vehicle’s location, while a GSM modem sends the current location to the vehicle owner through SMS on request. The travelled route is stored on a memory card and can be viewed on Google Earth. An ultrasonic sensor detects nearby obstacles and displays the information on an LCD. The system provides a low-cost and secure solution for vehicle security, theft prevention, driver authentication, and real-time vehicle tracking applications.      

Features:  

1. Face recognition-based vehicle accessing.
2. Remote communication using GSM modem.
3. Sends location in the form of latitude and longitude.
4. Reliable for remote tracking
5. Obstacle detection and displaying on LCD.
