A smart voltage and current monitoring system for three phase inverters using an android smartphone application
In this paper, a new smart voltage and current monitoring system (SVCMS) technique is proposed. It monitors a three phase electrical system using an Arduino platform as a microcontroller to read the voltage and current from sensors and then wirelessly send the measured data to monitor the results using a new Android application. The integrated SVCMS design uses an Arduino Nano V3.0 as the microcontroller to measure the results from three voltage and three current sensors and then send this data, after calculation, to the Android smartphone device of an end user using Bluetooth HC-05. The Arduino Nano V3.0 controller and Bluetooth HC-05 are a cheap microcontroller and wireless device, respectively. The new Android smartphone application that monitors the voltage and current measurements uses the open source MIT App Inventor 2 software. It allows for monitoring some elementary fundamental voltage power quality properties. An effort has been made to investigate what is possible using available off-the-shelf components and open source software
A novel on-board Unit to accelerate the penetration of ITS services
In-vehicle connectivity has experienced a big expansion in recent years. Car manufacturers have mainly proposed OBU-based solutions, but these solutions do not take full advantage of the opportunities of inter-vehicle peer-to-peer communications. In this paper we introduce GRCBox, a novel architecture that allows OEM user-devices to directly communicate when located in neighboring vehicles. In this paper we also describe EYES, an application we developed to illustrate the type of novel applications that can be implemented on top of the GRCBox. EYES is an ITS overtaking assistance system that provides the driver with real-time video fed from the vehicle located in front. Finally, we evaluated the GRCbox and the EYES application and showed that, for device-to-device communication, the performance of the GRCBox architecture is comparable to an infrastructure network, introducing a negligible impact
Design and Implementation of CANBus like Protocol for Indian Automobile
Controller Area Network (CAN) is an attractive alternative in the automotive and automation industries due to its is ease in use, low cost and provided reduction in wiring complexity. This system 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 vehicles. Our system is 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.The system 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 Blue tooth module. We expect this work will bring more attention to further security for Indian automobile. The main feature of the system includes monitoring of various vehicle parameters such as Temperature,Fuse wire and Alcohol detection. We expect this work will bring more attention to further security for Indian automobile. Also the proposed system is an economical easily operable
