Development of a Two-Factor Authentication System for Enhanced Security of Vehicles at a Carpark

The increasing number of vehicles registered demands for safe and secure carparks due to increase in vehicle theft. The current Automatic Number Plate Recognition (ANPR) systems is a single authentication system and hence it is not secure. Therefore, this research has developed a double authentication system by combing ANPR with a Quick Response (QR) code system to create ANPR-DAS that improves the security at a carpark. It has yielded an accuracy of up to 93% and prevents car theft at a car park.

I. Introduction

Owning vehicles has become integral to every person and in Malaysia the number of registered vehicles has only increased. According to the Malaysian Automotive Association (MAA), the number of registered vehicles has been over 550, 000 for the last 12 years, totaling to over 7,000,000 vehicles registered in the last 12 years alone [1]. This is shown in Fig. 1. Fig. 1.
