CUSTOMIZING VEHICLE CONTROL BY INTEGRATING ELECTRONIC CONTROL UNIT SIGNAL FROM MULTI-POINT VEHICLES

摘要

In the field of Automobile, Electronic Control Unit (ECU) plays vital role to control and monitor various parts of the vehicle. As a step ahead, in this paper we attempted to do research based on integrating discrete ECUs of multiple vehicles. The main idea behind integrating discrete ECUs is that to control vehicle in its domain and to protect from future accident caused by other vehicles in same lane. This integration is done by using RFM12B Universal ISM Band FSK Transceiver which is redefined in ECU module. The transceiver in the ECU of the idle vehicle would transmit signal about the previous speed of the vehicle and also related to the distance of the hurdle before it at which it stopped. Meanwhile it will also receive the signal of the moving vehicle which is based on the present speed of the running vehicle and the output is in the form of voice coded signal which is given to the infotainment system in the vehicle. In the case, when the driver fails to control the speed of the running vehicle then, the driver would send an automatic alert signal which is obtained when the particular range of transmission of signal increases from the idle vehicle. This system is researched based on multiple low cost vehicles but in the case of hybrid vehicles along with previous speed of the immobile vehicle, idle state of the engine is also transmitted.
