Location, direction, speed of a vehicle can be monitored instantly over a map in smart vehicle systems; vehicles’ average of fuel consumption, average speeds, information of average distance covered daily/monthly can be obtained as well. It is possible to find a stolen vehicle by means of smart vehicle systems. Location of a vehicle can be easily accessed over a GPS module or a SIM card located on the vehicle. At the same time, accidents involving death can be avoided by enabling to reach the vehicle’s location in a short time in case of an accident except for theft by means of a GPS module or a SIM card located on a vehicle. In the event of a vehicle theft or accident, there is need for solutions whereby the actual owner of a vehicle is informed and it is aimed to prevent a vehicle from being stolen at the first step in the event that a vehicle is being used by persons other than the vehicle owner except for these systems which become active in order to learn the position of the vehicle. The International patent document no. W02014031560 discloses a vehicle security system. Here, the processor can be configured to check an observed association (using vehicle identification sensor and personal identification sensor) with an expected association as retrieved from the database. When the observed association matches an expected association, no further action may be taken. However, when there is a mismatch between the observed association and expected associations, processor may activate an alert. Alert may represent a device (e.g., that generates a visible, audible, or other alert signal), or a module or procedure of processor that may be operated to alert a user of vehicle security system. For example, alert may include notification of an owner or operator of vehicle, notification of a security service that operates or that is associated with vehicle security system, notification of law enforcement of other authorities, activation of a surveillance system. For example, performance of some alert procedures, such as, for example, notification of law enforcement authorities or immobilizing vehicle, may be conditional on user approval.
