DEVELOPMENT OF ELECTRIC CAR PROTOTYPE

Electric Vehicle Intelligent Control System (also known as EVICS) is the brainchild of the
UTAR EV Team in prototyping the implementation of an intelligent control and monitoring
system for a light-weight, urban-dwell electric vehicle. EVICS‘s main control processing unit is
the Intel® Atom Desktop Board D510M0 and the desktop board offers flexibility for the
integration of different kinds of monitoring modules. In this report of the project, the main
discussed topics are the Battery Temperature Monitoring Module, the Vehicle Speed Monitoring
Module and the Wireless Remote Desktop Control Module. In addition, the Reverse Parking
Sensor Module will also be thoroughly discussed in this report of the project. The Battery
Temperature Monitoring Module is important in any electric vehicle owing to the fact that the
battery‘s lifetime is affected greatly by temperatures during charging and discharging, thus it
must be monitored and controlled strictly. The Vehicle Speed Monitoring Module is also an
imperative part of any vehicle. Thus, EVICS offers an ingenious and cost-effective way to
monitor the speed of the electric motor and the electric vehicle. Furthermore, the Wireless
Remote Desktop Control Module is an innovative integral of EVICS in providing real time
problem solving and maintenance work done on the electric vehicle more effective and efficient
without leaving the comfort of the engineer‘s seat
