PROTOTYPE OF A FINGERPRINT BASED LICENSING

SYSTEM FOR DRIVING

Abstract

To prevent non-licensees from driving and therefore causing accidents, a new system is
proposed. An important and very reliable human identification method is fingerprint
identification. Fingerprint identification is one of the most popular and reliable personal
biometric identification methods. The proposed system consists of a smart card capable of
storing the fingerprint of particular person. While issuing the license, the specific person’s
fingerprint is to be stored in the card. Vehicles such as cars, bikes etc should have a card reader
capable of reading the particular license.

Drawbacks of existing system: car resulting in fewer injuries.

Advantage of proposed system:
 Cause of serious injury in accidents.
 Enhanced safety
 Flaw in license authentication
 Saves the human life
 Major accident avoided
 Biometric authentication
Working principle:
In the proposed system to start vehicle two authentication processes is there. First one is
Finger print. It’s used to authenticate whether the driver is licensed person or not. If the person
has the license then only vehicle start otherwise it’s in ideal mode. Fingerprint comparison done
by Matlab process. Here we using IR sensor to check whether the driver wear the seat belt or not.
The vehicle starts after wearing the seat belt. The status of the system displayed on LCD.
