Abstract:
• This addresses the global concern of air pollution, particularly the
contribution of vehicle emissions.
• The system employs an array of sensors, a microcontroller, and a
wireless communication module.
• The paper highlights the significance of monitoring vehicular
pollution and emphasizes the potential of the proposed system in
reducing air pollution.
Introduction:
Air pollution from vehicles is a growing environmental concern,
impacting public health and contributing to respiratory diseases and
cancer. Monitoring and controlling vehicle emissions are crucial to
address this issue. An embedded system-based approach is
suggested, involving sensors installed in vehicles to continuously
monitor emissions in real-time.
Literature Survey:
• The proposed work of monitoring vehicular pollution using an
embedded system is essential due to the escalating levels of air
pollution caused by vehicles.
• The proposed embedded system offers a real-time and cost-
effective solution to monitor emissions.
• The proposed system aims to reduce the adverse impacts of
vehicular pollution, safeguard human health, and promote
sustainable development.
Existing System:
• Lengthy wait times: finding vehicular pollution checkup centre
and waiting for the result may take time.
• Financial burdens:Any Vehicular pollution monitoring at any
centre need to be paid for checking the pollution status.
• Limited Availability: Pollution monitoring centres are rarely or
very less available on the highways and RTO offices.
Proposed System:
• Affordability: The proposed system consists of low cost sensors
to measure pollutants emitted from vehicles.
• Alert system: an alert system to notify authorities when pollution
levels exceed permissible limits.
• Round-the-clock availability:This system can be used at
anytime and anywhere,where the pollution need to be monitorred.
Objectives:
• Design and develop an embedded system using low-cost sensors to
measure pollutants emitted from vehicles.
• Create a wireless communication system for real-time data transmission to a
central server.
• Analyze the collected data to generate reports on pollution levels in different
areas.
• Develop an alert system to notify authorities when pollution levels exceed
permissible limits.
• Evaluate the system's performance and validate its accuracy and reliability
under varying environmental conditions and traffic scenarios.

Modules:
• Sim module: The SIM900A is a GSM/GPRS module manufactured by
SIM.Com Wireless Solutions.
• Smoke and Gas Sensor: MQ135 is a gas sensor that is primarily used to
detect the concentration of smoke and various other harmful gases in the air.
• Display: This model no. WH1601A Character LCD Display is made of 16 x 1
dots matrix.
• Arduino Uno (Atmega 328): Arduino provides anintegrated environment
which is can be used to easily program,compile and loading program files in
the microcontroller.
Result and Discussion:
• The developed and implemented embedded system for monitoring vehicular pollution
effectively measured pollutant concentrations emitted by vehicles in real-time.
• The system utilized an array of sensors to detect carbon monoxide (CO), carbon dioxide
(CO2), and nitrogen oxides (NOx). During experimentation in urban areas with high traffic,
the system consistently recorded pollutant concentrations and transmitted the data to a
remote server.
• A user interface provided stakeholders with immediate access to real-time pollution levels.
By setting threshold values, the system successfully triggered warning messages when
pollutant concentrations exceeded 20 ppm and initiated the generation of challans by the
Regional Transport Office (RTO) for concentrations surpassing 25 ppm.
Conclusion:
In this project Arduino is used, CO and smoke sensors for detecting
the pollutants. The system is tested in different conditions. So
system will be highly beneficial in curbing this problem. The system
will be helpful to keep the environment free from vehicular emission
and inform the vehicle owner and the regulatory body if the Pollution
level is more than the Standards mentioned by the Government.
