HARDWARE REALISATION OF SELF PROPELLED SAFETY MONITORING SYSTEM USING CAN PROTOCOL

Abstract

The automotive vehicle is the most importance in transportation. This paper discussed various safety measures that can be implemented in vehicles for safe travelling. The drawbacks that are observed in the existing system are glaring effect due to the opposite vehicle light illumination, gas leakage, short circuit in electrical wiring, high volume in horn causing noise pollution. Distance between two vehicles should be maintained certain meters to avoid accidents, unequal wheel pressure may lead to accidents, inaccurate fuel level in analog meters and high engine area temperature may cause damages to the engine. The GSM (Global System for Mobile communication) and GPS (Global Positioning System) are used to access the location during fault occurred (or) during cause of accident, it will send the information to the rescue people. These sensors are connected through Master and Slave modules and it is communicated using CAN (Controller Area Network) protocol. The simulation and experimental results show that the vehicle with a safety monitoring system provides a better safety to the persons in the vehicle and thereby accidents can be avoided. This proposed work was simulated and implemented through hardware. The observed results closely match with simulation and hardware results.
