Data Logging System-Vehicle Interim Report

Problem Statement

In the contemporary, the danger of security and wellbeing of vehicles are on a steady

ascent. Hence, the requirement for auto security is of desperate significance. Over speeding in

clumsy zones is a significant reason for street mishaps. Mishap rates are higher in certain

regions like school zones, bumpy zones, interstates, tricky territories and so forth. In this

specific situation, Intelligent Transport Systems is a significant and creating field [1].

Mishaps because of impact of vehicles can be evaded by powerful vehicular correspondence.

Vulnerable side Detection prepares the driver to be ready about the presence of another

vehicle or prevention in the vulnerable side locale, where there is more possibility for an

impact or mishap to happen. With this task, I expect to attempt to limit the danger and

mishaps that most vehicles are inclined to in everyday life.

Theory

In this project, I am planning to implement the following features:

1. Vehicle Tracking System

2. Automobile Safety

3. Inter Vehicular Communication

4. Blind spot Detection

In my project I have interfaced a microcontroller with a GPS receiver and GSM modem.

The unit is fixed onto the vehicle. A computer connected to a GSM mobile phone is setup at

the other side. The GSM modem receives the coordinate values of the location of the vehicle

through the GPS system.

GSM modem is a particular category of modem similar a mobile phone. It has a SIM card

slot and can be operated using any mobile operator. The Global Positioning System (GPS) is

a satellite-based navigation system. With the help of GPS satellites, a GPS device will collect

data and precisely estimate the location on earth. It was developed for the use of the United

States military. Nowadays it is the most popular navigation system in use. U.S. Department

of Defence have launched 30 satellites into the orbit currently for collecting information.

The output of the GPS modem which is displayed on the LCD, is actually the NMEA data.

The receiver which requests the location of the automobile receives this data through a

mobile.

Communication between the microcontroller interface and modems is serial and this

layout is achieved using RS-232 module. TTL voltage levels have to be changed to RS-232

voltage levels. For this purpose we use a MAX-232 IC. Sensors are useful in helping to detect

and respond to different problems and scenarios we come across in automobiles. Examples

include infrared sensors, fire detectors etc. They help us to notify the receiver in case of any

emergencies. A heat detector works in such a manner that the temperature of its heat element

increases because of the energy emitted by the fire. This helps me in detecting fires.

Temperature Sensors, Smoke Sensors etc. can also be used in fire detection.

Blind spot Detection

It is highly hazardous to drive a vehicle in current traffic scenario. One of the probable risk

conditions is when the driver looking out for the impending road risk and also looking

backward in highway driving at the same time. In order to change the lane cautiously, it is

necessary to check both sideways and backward. An obstacle usually concerned by the driver

is the blind spot which is the area cannot be seen by side view and rear view mirrors. In many

accident cases it was the driver’s ignorance to check the blind spots region. It is mainly the

area on both sides of the back of the vehicle. Even after using the car mirrors the driver may

be unable to recognize that another vehicle is there in these spots. The areas that are too low
4

to see infront and back of the vehicle are also included as blind spots. Sometimes the areas

where the side vision is hindered to the left and right of the vehicle ar also included.

Work plan

First Semester

 Vehicular tracking and anti-theft system using GPS and GSM technology.

 Automobile fire detection system.
