Anti- Carjacking System (ACS)

Abstract

In Pakistan Citizens have been deprived of valuables, including cars and motorcycles, worth millions of rupees in the last 10 months despite government and law enforcement agencies claims of taking steps to improve law and order situation in the city. A crime data from January to October shows that incidents of carjacking and thefts of cars are on the rise although police continue making claims of busting criminals and carjackers. Incidents of vehicle snatching and thefts in the last 10 months have increased 100 percent as compared to the same period in 2011 and 2010. About 44% of carjacking incidents occurred in an open area (e.g. on the street or near public transportation) while 24% occurred in parking lots or garages or near commercial places (e.g. stores, gas stations, restaurants). According to the National Crime Victimization Survey (NCVS) in USA from 2007 to 2015, some 38,000 carjacking victimization occurred annually. Some 93 percent of carjacking's occurred in urban areas. There were multiple carjackers in 56% of incidents. A weapon was used in 74% of carjacking victimization firearms in 45%, knives in 11%, and other weapons in 18%. About 32% of victims of completed carjacking's and 17% of victims of attempted carjacking's were injured, serious injuries, such as gunshot or knife wounds, broken bones, or internal injuries occurred in about 9% of incidents. Some 68% of carjacking's occurred at nighttime hours (7 p.m. to 7 a.m.). Some 98% of completed carjacking's and 77% of attempted carjacking's were reported to police. The concept of ACS is for prevention of these carjacking incidents to some instant. And collect as much information as we can to catch the carjackers and thieves for the safety of the persons and their valuables.
