Automotive Telematics

A Prototypic Design Approach for Automotive Telematics On-board Unit Platform (ATOP) Using ARM Powered NFC (Near Field Communication) Technology

SYNOPSIS:

                In today’s fastest world the use of vehicle is unavoidable as well as the accident occurring due it is also a biggest issue.  So we have designed the system in a move to save lives on the road by measuring the pressure of the vehicle. Current estimates suggest annually there are around 43,000 deaths across Europe’s road networks. Experts believe this could be reduced significantly if the load of the vehicle is maintained as well as the traffic is also maintained by allowing the heavy vehicles only in the specific time.

PROBLEM STATEMENT:

•         Measuring the load and perimeters are crucial

•          Detection of the vehicle is difficult

•         Miscellaneous of  vehicle in the city for long durations

PROPOSED SYSTEM:

In this proposed system we have designed the system with three applications. First application is to calculate the strain of the vehicle. By using strain sensor, pressure of the vehicle is monitored. When the strain exceeds the set up value the information is suddenly passed to the RTO office through wireless technology. By using this application over loading of the vehicle can be avoided which may lead to an accident. So by using this system even if the owner tried to overload his vehicle he can’t do it. By using this system driver can drive his vehicle safely and accident freely.

In the second application traffic jam can be reduced by maintaining the specific time for heavy vehicle. Heavy vehicles should enter the city only at the specific time. If they entered at some other time information is transferred to the control room.

The third application is used to maintain the traffic signal properly. If any vehicle crosses the road when the signal is red .Then the vehicles id is passed to the nearest control room. Intruder sensor is used to detect whether the vehicle crosses the road in the proper way or not.
