STATE OF ART OF SMART VEHICLE MANAGEMENT SYSTEM BASED ON PIC MICROCONTROLLER AND ACCELEROMETER

Abstract

This research article introduces a single vehicle tracking and monitoring device for automotive applications, which apart from providing conventional vehicle tracking in real-time, can also communicate with vehicle electronics and acquire parameters essential for assessing vehicle health using a PIC series microcontroller. The presented device also includes an accelerometer which can provide critical information related to shocks experienced by the vehicle, acceleration and deceleration of vehicle. Cloud connectivity of the presented design adds another dimension for optimal utilization of vehicle information. Advanced software analytics in cloud can provide information helpful for predicting preventive maintenance of the vehicle and the driving behaviour of driver. Information generated can be used in a multitude of ways by insurance agencies, road infrastructure management, vehicle manufacturers and vehicle owners
