INTRODUCTION

 CarIoT is an IoT dash board for vehicle’s activity in real-time data, self-
diagnostic data and location based data.

 The IoT dash board is portable and available across different devices like
 Desktop,
 Android devices
 Palm held Raspberry Pi Mini Computers.

 We can monitor the

 Health of the Vehicle’s,
 Location Tracking which help us to locate the vehicle instantly
 Real time Running data to check any danger levels of
 Temperatures in the Coolant, Engine Oil,
 Any malfunctioning of the Engine,
 RPM, Speed etc
OBJECTIVE

 Core objective is to develop an IoT Based Cloud Dashboard where the

Engine data is procured from the vehicle’s OBD port and Location data is
procured from the GPS module.

 Dashboard provides the data like Engine On/Off, RPM, Speed, Coolant
Temperature, Idling, Battery Life, MIL, Engine Load etc.

 Dashboard provides Alert mechanism for

 Predictive Maintenance of Car Health such as
 Air-Fuel Ratio Indicator
 Battery Life
 Fuel Injection
 Mal Function Indicator (MIL)
 Driving related alerts Geo-Fencing, and Start/Stop Alerts etc

…..What is CAN Bus

 The Vehicle’s OBD2 Port is connected to the CAN Bus Shield –Spark Fun with OBD2 to DB9 adapter cable.
 CAN messages from OBD2 Port will be received by CAN Bus Shield

What is CAN bus?

 CAN is a Controller Area Network, which is a network of independent controllers communicating securely.

 It was first developed by Bosch and Intel in 1990 and has been amended since.

 The International Standards Organization (ISO) has further defined CAN using their OSI model.

 CAN –BUS cover 2 layers in the OSI Model i.e. Physical Layer and Data Link Layer.

…..IoT Cloud Dash Board

 The Serial Data will be uploaded to the Cloud Platform

via Wi-Fi Internet connection.

 Along with the Vehicle’s Engine data, the GPS will be

sending its location and uploading to the Cloud Platform.

 The Dash Board on the Cloud Platform is prepared using

the Engine Data and Location Details

….. About Ubidots

 Ubidots is an Application Builder for the Internet of Things(IoT)

 Ubidots accelerates your IoT initiatives, can support wide range of devices
 Connect your devices to the cloud using Ubidots firmware libraries.
 Can Create custom visualizations in clean, real-time dashboards.
 Alert Mechanism like SMS, Emails or trigger Telegrams based on data.
 Platform as a Service…UbiDots
….User Account TOKEN ID

 The TOKEN ID of the User Account is

vital because the firmware will be
connected to the right User
Dashboard.

 TOKEN ID account's unique and fixed

master key.

 In the firmware programming it is

mandatory to hardcode the TOKEN ID
which are then used in every API
request..

 The TOKEN IDS are different for

Android Clients and general

….Creating a Device

 Creating Device
 Procure Business Version Credentials from UbiDots
 Go to  https://industrial.ubidots.com
 Device Management
 Devices

 In the Devices Pages click on Add Device

….Creating a Device
•A created device has
• API Label
• ID

• This API Label is referred in

the Firmware program to
publish the data to correct
device.

•Sample pseudo code written

in NODE MCU program which
publishes the Device data to
the cloud..

….Creating a Variable
•A created variable has
• API Label
• ID

• This API Label is referred in the Firmware

program to add the data to correct device.
Platform as a Service…UbiDots contd…

….MQTT
 A variable will be created under a device where the variable will receive the Sensor Data
and the device will be publishing the data into the cloud platform using the Wi-Fi Internet.

 The firmware Libraries from Ubidots has to be downloaded to the NodeMCU programming
environment and the device and variable API-LABELS are programmed.

 MQTT protocol is being used as the Internet Transport Protocol at the Transport Layer in
the OSI model.

 MQTT is a machine-to-machine (M2M)/"Internet of Things" connectivity protocol. It was

designed as an extremely lightweight publish/subscribe messaging transport.

 The design principles are to minimize network bandwidth,

and device resource requirements with assurance of delivery.

display data for
 Runtime Data
 Engine ON/OFF
 RPM
 SPEED
 BATTERY
 COOLANT TEMP
 ENGINE LOAD
 MIL
 FUEL PRESSURE
 RUNTIME
 THROTTLE POSITION
 GPS Location Data
 GEO FENCE FOR THE VEHICLE
Alert Mechanism

 An Alert Mechanism can be

developed and make a GEO FENCE

Location.

 Under the Events its possible to set

a Device under GEO FENCE by
mapping its to the location.

 The UbiDots dash board is portable and any danger levels of Temperatures in the Coolant,
Engine Oil, any Malfunctioning of the Engine, RPM, and Speed etc can be notified.

 Multiple Users can access the dash board from any part of the world using Internet.
FUTURE SCOPE
 A complete alert mechanism can be developed for Predictive and Preventive Maintenance
of Car Health such as Air-Fuel Ratio Indicator, Battery Life, Coolant Temperature, Fuel
Injection etc.
 Based on historical data, the Driving Behavior related alerts like Over Speed, Geo-Fencing,
Hard Acceleration, Sudden Brakes can be recorded for Safe Driving.
 We can also procure data for Tyre Pressure, Brakepad Erosion and Emission Levels by
integrating Sensors with the car.
