Abstract

The paper describes the implementation of a prototype system used for successful real time data acquisition, fault diagnosis and display with child safety and vehicle monitoring features for Hybrid vehicles. Proper vehicle monitoring and maintenance can save time, money and improve the ownership experience. Currently, the CAN-based failure diagnostic interface has begun to be used in all the passenger cars in Europe. Our system is based on CAN protocol used to extract the vehicle's status or fault information, and then the results can be viewed by the driver to monitor various parameters like fuel consumption, engine temperature etc. for safe and careful driving. In case of emergency such as when the vehicle breaks down or if there is a child emergency, the paper proposes that the status of vehicle will be sent to the control Unit using Android based mobile application which is connected to hardware unit using Bluetooth module. The mobile device is capable of transmitting data to a Base station (police control room or authorized vehicle dealer) using cellular SMS service. The hardware unit consists of ARM7 microcontroller, GPS module, GSM module, Bluetooth module, an android based mobile device and different parameter monitoring sensors module.
