In this work, an advanced vehicle monitoring and tracking system is proposed and designed for the purpose of monitoring the vehicles which are moving from one place to the other in order to provide safety and security. The proposed method puts together superior exercise of contemporary technology by means of Embedded C programming language and the unit developed via LPC2148 and its sophisticated features...
The On-Board Diagnostic (OBD) socket provides a data link with the ECU and possibly also with other controllers within the vehicle. This paper discusses the various benefits that were experienced through the use of the OBD data from reading of error codes, reading/storing of vehicle specific parameters (PIDs) and communicating with a UniNOx sensor. Experimental data on levels of NOx formation with...
Drowsy is the reason for most of the road accidents. Manually tracing the drowsy driver is not an easy task, because every day thousands of vehicles are running on the roads. So we need a system that must come with every car and if it detects the sleepy driver it must stop the vehicle immediately. In addition to this if the driver is slept the vehicle will be stopped, and it monitors the heart-beat,...
The research aims to detect the onset of drowsiness in drivers, while the vehicle is in motion. Detection is done by continuously looking out for symptoms of drowsiness, while considering both physiological and physical signs. Physiological factors include core body temperature and pulse rate. Both of these parameters will decrease during the onset of drowsiness. These are monitored by using somatic...
In this paper we have provided public Smart Assistance in Public Transport System. The project is to be implemented for public bus (for ex: PMTs in Pune). It has the entire smart assistance system required for public security and safety. The smart system includes safety for women as well. It has accident detection and monitoring facility. It also has user friendly application for user to track bus...
The safety of freight vehicles is a very important issue of our society, especially in the scope of VSNs(Vehicle Sensor networks). A monitoring and analysis system for freight vehicles is designed in this paper so as to achieve active safety and state records of freight vehicles. To lower costs and shorten development cycle, open-source electronics platform Arduino is selected as the main controller...
Wireless Sensor Network (WSN) plays an important role in the application of environmental monitoring. Mostly air pollution being major issues as cause many hazardous effects on ecological system of human being. Therefore the need of monitoring air pollution around the city and the public transport buses and cars are very important problem today. Basically, environmental monitoring methods have difficulties...
Presently vehicles have low emphasis on showing the performance of the components including mileage, engine quality and battery quality. It has level indicators for fuel quantity and odometer for distance travelled for a particular trip. In order to improve the monitoring of the vehicle health, a Fuzzy based system is proposed which provides suggestions for calibration. It employs sensors and IoT...
This paper reviews the current sensor technologies and communication methods available for mine safety monitoring. Wireless Sensor Network (WSN) technology use in recently developed mine safety monitoring systems is highlighted and compared with traditional wired monitoring systems.
The monitoring of vital parameters for athletes of all disciplines is becoming more and more essential, to improve performances and to ensure a constant control of athletes' physical conditions, thus preventing health risks and injuries. However, especially in amatorial competitions, the low available budget limits leads to the use of inexpensive and thus ineffective instrumentation. In this paper,...
We propose a new sensing device that can simultaneously monitor urban traffic congestion and another phenomenon of interest (flash floods on the present case). This sensing device is based on the combination of an ultrasonic rangefinder with one or multiple remote temperature sensors. We show an implementation of this device, and illustrate its performance in both traffic flow sensing. Field data...
Floods are the most common type of natural disaster, causing thousands of casualties every year. Among these events, urban flash floods are particularly deadly because of the short timescales on which they occur, and because of the high concentration of population in cities. Since most flash flood casualties are caused by a lack of information, it is critical to generate accurate and detailed warnings...
We present multifunctional integrated sensors (MFISES) that combine temperature, humidity, pressure, air speed, chemical gas, magnetic, and acceleration sensing on a single 2-mm $\times 2$ -mm die. We fabricate the MFISES in a wafer scale encapsulation process to hermetically seal the sensor functions with moving parts at low vacuum, and then surface micromachine the environmental sensors on top...
We present a cloud-based vehicular data acquisition and analytics system for real-time driver behavior monitoring, trip analysis, and vehicle diagnostic. Our system consists of an On Board Diagnostics (OBD) port to Bluetooth dongle, a mobile app running on a smart phone, and a cloud-based backend. We use a Complex Event Processor (CEP) at both the smart phone and the backend to detect and notify unsafe...
Residential power consumption and the increasing environmental pollution emitted from the electric generators have lead to the energy management focus. To minimize the power consumption, the overall efficiency of electrical networks must have to be improved. Smart Grid concept has played an important role in moving towards better energy management. The current technologies and projects fail to address...
The area of the state of Oregon has 98,381 square miles, which is the 9th largest in United States. Its population ranks 27th in United States, and most of its population residents in the Willamette valley, a narrow area north to Portland and south to eugene and home to eight of ten most populous cities in Oregon. This implies that most of Oregon are rural areas. It is necessary to design and deploy...
The paper includes the embedded on-board diagnostics system which continuously monitors the system parameters and generates the DTCs (Diagnostics Trouble Codes). The system consists of master-slave communication implemented through CAN network. Sensors are interfaced to slave microcontroller for monitoring various parameters of the system. Master microcontroller produces DTCs to indicate the causes...
The paper describes a modern traffic monitoring system designed to optimize road traffic flow, while ensuring mobility and access with the aim of meeting the current and future necessities for road travel. Furthermore, the proposed system complies with the requirements for rational use of urban land and the regulation on environmental protection. The importance of finding such solution derives from...
Despite the efforts of organizations, institutions, car makers, car seat manufacturers and consumer groups to alert parents about the safety threat heatstroke poses for young children left in hot vehicles the number of victims each year is increasing. In fact, one child dies from heatstroke nearly every 10 days from being left in a hot vehicle. For this reason, this work focuses on using current technology...
Between July 2011 and March 2012 a group of eight electric vehicles have been monitored while operating either as part of a local taxi fleet or as a service vehicle for local authorities. With these vehicles a total distance of 38078 km was covered in that period. Analysis of the monitoring data gives results that are in line with these applications. These vehicles are operating mostly in urban and...
