REAL TIME MONITORING OF VITAL HEALTH PARAMETERS OF THE VEHICLE

ABSTRACT Every day, many a people die because of road accidents. A number of factors contribute to the risk of the accidents; such as, vehicle design, the speed of operation, driver skills and behaviour etc., which leads to disabilities or even death. This, in turn, leads to financial costs for both society and individuals involved. So monitoring a few important parameters of the vehicle and reporting of any problem with the monitored parameters plays an important role in reducing the risk of accidents and also helps the government agencies in solving the accident cases. The available systems are monitoring a few parameters of the vehicle, but they are not designed to analyse the reason for the accidents. The proposed system is designed such that, the vital parameters of the vehicle are recorded in a data logger so that, it can be used to analyse the reasons for the accident or the vehicle breakdown. In this paper, monitoring of four important parameters of the vehicle such as Engine RPM, Tyre Pressure, Engine oil level and brake pad wear detection, are successfully implemented and the results are found to be satisfactory.
