VEHICLE MAINTENANCE AND FIRE PREVENTION
ABSTARCT :
In this busy world, everyone using different kind of vehicle in day to day life, but they are forgetting to service their vehicle at certain time. So the lifetime of the vehicle gets reduced and lots of fire accidents are occurred each and every day. This project concept is mainly focused on preventing fire during accident in vehicle and reminding the service period to the customer depending on their vehicle service time and kilometer that crossed by the vehicle.
EXISTING SYSTEM :
In existing system, Real Time Clock (RTC) and EEPROM data will automatically lock the vehicle on the every 30th day of the month when the insurance date was expired without any reminder to the customer. The engine can be unlocked only by the banker / insurer by sending the due clearance confirmation message. CAN linked bus is used for communication purpose through ECM (Engine Control Module) with microcontroller [1]. These systems also provide the message alert to their family members when the accident occurs. The concept of this existing system is altered and implemented in our project for service period remainder and fire prevention [2].The vehicle is built with an analog driver-vehicle interface for indicating various statuses like speed, fuel level, engine temperature etc. The communication module used here is an embedded network bus CAN. This is visualized them to the vehicle driver through a LCD display
DISADVANTAGE :
It cannot give any reminder to the customer about the insurance period expired. This will affect the customer when the engine was locked, when the particular time period is reached. The leakage of fuel may occur fire accident when the vehicle is fall down because there is no fuel stopper in the carburetor value. This is implemented in the large vehicles like lorries and trucks. The vehicle cannot be unlocked by the customer manually.
PROPOSED SYSTEM :
The proposed system is designed with PIC 16F877A, sensors and GSM module. This system overcomes the drawbacks of the existing system. The aim of proposed system is to remind the service date and increase the life time of the vehicle and also prevent the fire accident when the vehicle falls down. The GSM module sends the SMS about the expiry date to the centre and customer and accident message to their neighbours and service centre helpline.
ADVANTAGE :
A Microcontroller will monitor this information and maintain care for the vehicle life time and send SMS to the vehicle owner and service center using GSM modem. The distance travelled by the vehicle is monitored by using speed sensor.
