Design and Business Modeling of an IoT Based Cost-Effective Vehicular Monitoring System for Next Generation Smart Vehicle

In the fast-moving world, we live in, every piece of electronics in our lives already has a smarter counterpart. Vehicles are no exception to this pattern and in the previous 10 years, they have gotten more intelligent than their drivers have, and as a rule - became more secure and progressively cost-efficient. In our research, we designed a cost-effective Arduino based smart monitoring system and vehicle tracking system that will be making our life easier, and secure. Here we implemented a system that includes an automatic temperature based fan speed control system, coolant/water level detection, engine oil level detection, engine temperature detection. We designed the monitoring system using Arduino Uno and Arduino touch screen display for real-time monitoring. This system will show coolant/water level, engine oil level, engine temperature, fan speed in percentage scale, tachometer reading in RPM of vehicles, will be fitted in front of the driver. A low-cost vehicle tracking system is implemented for tracking vehicles at any time. We also designed a smartphone application by using MIT app inventor for showing vehicle location on a map. The entire system has been tested and the result has been included. We get satisfactory performance from the test result. Finally, a cost comparison between the price of our entire system and the price of the recent market has been attached. The price of the smart transport system that we approached is lower than the market price. Business modeling of the proposed system is also included.
