Minimizing Car Thief Incidence in the Philippines through An Alternative Car Staller System

Abstract

Automotive is a fast-moving product and one of the most lucrative industry all over the world. In the Philippines, almost all kinds of car brand shops are located across the archipelago. Corollary to this profitable business, car thief has become prevalent, if not, one of the worst crime incidents in the country. For this purpose, an alternative car staller system is developed to minimize car thief the same way in most automotive company does to their car products. Using an experimental design, the study revealed that: 1) the car staller system circuit is effective in terms of distance traveled; 2) using gasoline engine, the ignition system stalls indefinitely after three attempts of running; 3) there is a significant difference in the voltage across the battery with and without the device; 4) the car staller circuit is economical compared to existing commercially available car alarm system. Further, that using the car staller system is encouraged among car owners to minimize car thief incidence in the country.
