Smart in-vehicle environment monitoring system

Abstract

The paper represents the smart measurement and communication system for the in-vehicle environment monitoring. It measures and sends to the base station different type of environment parameters such as the internal temperature and humidity, the external temperature and humidity, the vehicle dynamics via MEMS inertial sensor and air quality by digital gas sensor. Additionally, the driver seat is continuously weighed on a weighing scale and all measurement data are transmitted to the smart phones or Wireless Sensor Network (WSN). The system activity is controlled by the RTC or inertial sensor alarms preliminary configured by the microcontroller.
