Monitoring and Vehicle Diagnostic with OBD2 Telematics”

This objective of this paper is to discuss on the real-time monitoring of driver behaviour, trip
analysis and health diagnosis of the vehicle on the basis of data collected from a cloud based
system. The system comprises of an On Board Diagnostics(OBD) port with a bluetooth
dongle, using a Complex Event Processor(CEP) and a mobile app, which would detect the
health of the vehicle and indicate any irregular behaviour to the driver as a warning for any
impending malfunctions. With the collection of real time data and archived data a set of
advanced analytics is performed to check reckless driving, failure of any vehicle sensors,
high fuel consumption, excessive increase in the coolant temperature, etc. to issue an alert
to the driver via the mobile app. This system could be enhanced further to ensure some
more detailed analysis such as checking the battery life, availability of lubricant in the
engine, etc. However the main shortcoming of such a system is the dependency on a
smartphone and transmission of data over the internet, in the absence of which no
connection could be established to the cloud server and hence the data collection and
processing could not be done.

based IoT System for Vehicle Monitoring and Diagnostic”

This paper depicts an IoT based application which monitors and analyses health of the
vehicle and detects any potential faults by using information from on-board vehicle
information, IMU and GPS. The information from the Engine Control Unit (ECU) is collected
using an OBD-II scanner. Following that, all OBD-II data is transferred and received over
Bluetooth with a smart phone, which subsequently transfers the data to a cloud server. To
enable this data transfer an android framework is built, first by creating the driver softwares
for CAN-BUS and OBD-II. These drivers act as a link between the hardware and software
components of the system. An active client side, PHP-based server with HTML5, CSS,
JavaScript, and database software for essential registration is included in the implemented
programme. There could be a provision to authenticate one’s access to this information and
when need be the user could request for sharing of some such crucial diagnostics analysis
with the concerned company dealer, insurance company for providing timely maintenance
and support depending on the vehicle condition.
