Automobiles in IoT



Accident rates are tremendously increasing day by day due to reckless driving. It has become a necessary to implement a system which ensures safety. An electronic system which can be designed to monitor over speed conditions and seat belt status of the driver. It also provides a button, named as Ladies‟ One Button Help”, which can be used in emergency conditions for the security notion. It uses Arduino Uno as the controller. It uses GPS and GSM modules for sending over speed notification and ‘Help’ messages to police control room and also helps to reduce accidents due to over speed as it forces the driver to keep the vehicle speed in the predetermined range. This device thus helps to provide a safe and secure driving environment.
To be precise, extension of this system would be an integrated database that would track, communicate, store and provide intelligent feedback on critical vehicle performance and safety parameters like Location, Vehicle status(Lock and unlock, acceleration, air bag deployment, Excessive vibration or failure of parts, suspected location change ).
This is also useful for intelligent maintenance. Local analytics could be applied on thousands of on-board sensors to flag abnormal events and take corrective action. The data may then be sent to automakers for deeper insight into trends across entire vehicle fleets. Intelligent cars could collect and analyze data from each other and also provide the right information about the transportation infrastructure to keep drivers safe, reducing vehicle wait and travel time. These have the potential to prevent accidents by exchanging information about location, speed and direction. As a result cars take proactive measures to move safely and efficiently.
Integration of smartness and intelligence with IoT creates safe, unique, high value user- automotive interface experience .
This article gives an real world application how IoT can be implemented in automobiles to increase safe and secure driving. There are lot of things can be done in IoT in every industry. Based on ROI (return on investment), feasibility, security, energy- efficiency, quality etc have to take proper decision whether to implement IoT is needed or not. Thank you. I hope you like this article. Suggestions, queries always welcome. :)

Introduction to IoT ecosystem

Basics of IoT IoT (Internet of Things) refers to a network where devices communicate to devices and devices communicate to software applications over the internet . This web-enabled devices/internet enabled devices will usually collect data, send and act upon data from their surrounding environment. •       The IoT network consists of Edge side (sensors, actuators and controllers connected to the internet) and Cloud side. •       The devices on the Edge side can either connect to the internet directly or using an Edge (IoT) gateway . The Edge gateway is used for: •        Providing a connection to the internet for devices that cannot connect to the internet on their own. These devices don’t have feature to connect to the Internet. •        Local functionality/control that must work even without internet availability •       ...

Introduction to Modelling and Simulation

What is about Today?    Modeling & simulation is use of the physical, mathematical or logical representation of a system , entity or process and these models  reduces the development time and cost of the system and it optimizes the design.  Simulation is the imitation of the real-world process or system. To simulate something, it requires a model to be developed, and these model represents the key characteristics, behaviors and functions of the selected system or process.Modelling an act of building a model and Simulation is act of using a model. Simulation software is based on the process of modeling a real phenomenon with a set of mathematical formulas.  Advantages: Allows to understand how the system operates in real-time system in virtual environment. Easy to make changes in to the system and their effect on the output. Can determine the system requirements by applying different configurations. Performing bottleneck analysi...

Introduction to Deep Learning

Deep Learning is a type of machine learning in which a model learns to perform classification tasks directly from images, text or sound. Its usually implemented using a neural network architecture. Here deep refers to the "Number of layers in the network" i.e the more layers, the deeper the network. Traditional neural network contain only 2-3 layers, but in deep network contains hundreds of layers. Deep learning example is  A self-driving vehicle slows down as it approaches a pedestrian network . Deep learning is especially well-suited to identification applications such as face recognition, text translation, voice recognition and advanced driver assistance systems and traffic sign recognition etc. Deep learning is growing faster because it really works.  What is the Difference Between Deep Learning  and Machine Learning? Deep learning is a sub-type of machine learning. For example with machine  learning, you manually extract the relevant features of...
