ABSTRACT In recent years, due to advancement in engineering and technology, automobile industries have developed to a great extent. Today, many control applications systems such as automatic transmissions, engine control, ABS, climate control system, etc., were successfully implemented. These systems make the drive safe with less strain to the driver. To add a feather to this crown of inventions, this project deals with the intelligent voice assist driving system. This system indicates in terms of visual and audio and it communicates to the driver about the driving efficiency, necessary gear shifts and about the safety warnings. This project mainly focuses on manual transmission vehicles to improve the driving and fuel efficiency which may add life to engine. This technique is based on artificial intelligence, which compares the running gear, vehicle speed, fuel consumption, engine RPM and load in the vehicle. Based on the comparisons the intelligent system will assist the driver to shift the gear. It also informs the driver about driving efficiency, speed, mileage etc., when asked for. Instead of producing an identical beep sound for various reasons, the voice assist informs what the exact problem is. To add more intelligence in the vehicle security system an additional biometric system can be integrated to start the vehicle. Also, in case of any collision, an emergency call is made to the hotline numbers provided, passing a pre-recorded message along with the geographical location of the car. The entire concept is implemented using LabVIEW RT platform. Thus we hope this project will add a milestone in the automobile industry. --------------------------------
