Introduction – Current Situation • Environmental trends push automotive manufacturers into focusing on efficiency • Sophisticated electronic systems manage automotive systems • There is little user accessibility and limited interface for review and management of automotive systems • Large scale fleets require easy management and analysis tools for efficiency and economy
Currently Available Solutions • ECU (Engine Control Unit) data logging systems • Separate fleet management system • Small embedded systems enabling mobile device connectivity for status review • Very limited data analysis – mostly for automotive sports tuning
Our Vision • All-in-one solution for vehicle exploitation • On board system enabling data logging, analysis, external sensory input and communication • Mobile connectivity application • Server based fleet management system • Real-time data analysis and usage policy suggestion for efficiency and economy (Currently not available in other solutions)
Layout Features Real-Time access and logging of the ECU Data analysis and processing Easy local connectivity Remote connectivity and SMS notifications GPS tracking, recording and route analysis Advanced Data analysis based on sensor data trends Android application for interactive, intuitive and easy to use interface Server Side Application for performance evaluation and fleet control CAN bus Accelerometer & Altimeter Sensors
Block Diagram • PIC32 microcontroller • USB, uArt, SPI & I2C interfaces • CAN controller for CAN protocol • DMA enabled interconnectivity • ~8$ • Bluetooth Module • SPI / I2C Interface • Interconnectivity using Bluetooth protocol • ~5$ • SPI interface flash memory module • ~3$ • Software Modules • Micro-kernel / Scheduler • Communications modules • Memory management • Data Analysis • Android Application • Server side fleet management software • SimCom GPS/GPRS module • SPI Interface • Interconnectivity via GPS/GPRS protocols • Integrated TCP/IP stack and other drivers • ~27$ • BOSCH sensors • Accelerometer and Altimeter • SPI interface • High precision • ~22$ (Altogether)
Timetable • Project Characterization Presentation – 19/04/2012 • Components acquisition assembly, protocol investigation, preparation for coding, software system characterization – 07/05/2012 • Mid Semester Presentation – 07/05/2012 • Core systems implementation – Microprocessor scheduling, mini-kernel, inter system connectivity protocols – 15/07/2012 • Subsystems Programming and Software Integration, Alpha stage – 15/08/2012 • Debugging, testing and revisions, RC – 01/10/2012 • Extensive Testing and Finalizing – 31/10/2012 • End Of Semester Presentation and Finish – 01/11/2012
Summary • There is a real opportunity for innovation in the automotive industry • We are excited to be working on this project, from top to bottom – a full scale product • Embedded systems are the next step ahead for a more “green” future
