Project Summary

Vehicle Instrumentation is a crucial component of sensor-based perception systems for advanced driver assistance systems. . The design uses STM family of microcontroller as the main control unit with CAN protocol, which would interface to sensors and outputs. This would allow the sensors not only to give the desired readouts for speed, fuel/air ratio, coolant temperature details etc, but all this data would be stored in a way which is easy to access by the automobiles, esp. racing cars as they need to have a driver instrumentation on the status of the car and engine. The sensors being used outputs a variety of signal types.

Project Objectives

Our motive is to gather the knowledge of vehicles through different sensors like , The Mass Air Flow Sensor (MAF), Engine Speed Sensor, The Oxygen sensor, Manifold Absolute Pressure Sensor, spark knock sensor, The Fuel Temperature Sensor , Voltage Sensor, etc to enhance the safety of drivers using CAN communication The design uses the Stm8 microcontroller as the main control unit. This knowledge would be applied on the major four to five sensors, and the final prototype would be presented on an automobile itself. It would be designed such that it could be implemented on almost all car types and would play a major role to enhance the safety of the drivers.

Project Implementation Method

The methodology of this project categorizes in two classes, i.e., hardware and software. The hardware design uses the Stm8AF microcontroller as the main control unit and interfaces to sensors and outputs. Therefore the knowledge of vehicles through different sensors like , The Mass Air Flow Sensor (MAF), APPS , Choke, and other sensors was gathered to achieve the goal of enhancing the safety of drivers. This knowledge was then applied on these major sensors of the automobile itself. It could be implemented on almost all car types and would play a major role to enhance the safety of the drivers, as the driver would now be aware if either of these sensors starts malfunctioning, and would have enough time to react and respond to the situation.

The design uses STM8 because STM8 microcontrollers are 8-bit general purpose microcontrollers from STMicroelectronics (STM). STM is famous mainly for its line of 32-bit ARM Cortex microcontrollers – the STM32s. STM8 microcontrollers are rarely discussed in that context. However, STM8 MCUs are robust and most importantly they come packed with lots of hardware features. Except for the ARM core, 32-bit architecture, performance and some minor differences, STM8s have many peripheral similarities with STM32s Therefore, we decided to work on stm8 family rather than stm32.

Benefits of the Project

? SAFETY: With the ability to sense risks even before a driver does, cars can become safer to drive, lowering the number of accidents.

? RELIABILITY: Cars that sense mechanical problems before they become an issue can reduce the cost of maintenance and extend the lifetime of the vehicle .

? COMMUINCATION: Can protocol learning & integration. It will be used because it can be characterized as the arrangement of principles for transmitting and getting messages in a system of electronic gadgets.

?AVOIDANCE OF INSTRUMENT FAILURE  Some are more reliable than others but none are immune. On occasions, unexpected failure can shut down production causing severe knock-on consequences.

Technical Details of Final Deliverable

The final deliverable would be presented in the automobile itself, which would fulfill all the mentioned features, and an efficient instrumentation and controlling of sensors using CAN protocol would be produced.
