 IDEA AND PROTOTYPE
To analyse a vehicle’s performance is our idea.
The solution to the problem is done by evaluating the various parameters to analyse the vehicle
performance in real time by logging the data in MySQL database using IoT.
The prototype of the problem includes on evaluating the tyre pressure,heat dissipated from the
engine,Mileage and gear faults.
TECHNOLOGY STACK
 USE CASES
1)Evaluating mileage:Mileage of the vehicle is updated in real time once a day,unless if a big deviation
occurs it is updated at that instant.Mileage of the car can be taken from the inbuilt functionalities
present in the car
2)Evaluating tyre pressure: ABS wheel speed sensors is used to detect wheels that are revolving at
different speeds. An underinflated tyre will have a slightly smaller rolling radius indicating a drop in
pressure.It is also updated once a day,unless a big deviation is noticed under which value will be
updated immediately.
3)Evaluating heat dissipated from the engine:With the help of a thermistor the amount of heat
dissipated is noted down and sent to the database for every 3 hours.Under drastic changes values are
updated instantaneously.
4)Gear faults:Gearbox vibration tests are performed.The vibration signals are obtained using
accelerometers in different positions of the gearbox. The results obtained are analysed from
which we get a frequency which is used to calculate the BPFO(ballpass frequency, outer race)
which indicates the amount of damage occurred in the lower front bearing of the gearbox.This
value is updated once a day.
Indian terrain has dreaded roads with major ups and downs and the above mentioned criterias
helps us to understand better the performance of our vehicle which is further used for post
processing the durability of the vehicle and for development of new vehicles under Indian
operating conditions.
 SHOW STOPPERS
1)Arduino-For developing the algorithm and to send the data to the database.
2)Thermistor-Amount of heat dissipated from the engine.
3)ABS wheel speed sensor.
4)Accelerometer.
5)Performance algorithm:Based on the values from the previous vehicles on road,an algorithm is developed
which will calculate an overall efiiciency for the next upcoming years of it’s run.The calculated efficiency also
has the present values from the particular vehicle.More weightage is given to the present values which is
interfaced with the mean of previously run values.
