Tracking and data recording system for vehicles
| Resumo: | When talking about road transport the biggest concern nowadays is the increase of the use of the road networks. From this augmentation arise various environmental, economical and social issues. The safety and preservation of the transported goods, especially when those are perishable is another issue gaining relevance. In this context the importance of the traceability of vehicles is increasing to ensure a reduction in fuel consumption and the quality of the transported goods. The aim of this master dissertation is to create an application that run over the Android operative system that will be able to get data from vehicle's ECUs and to send them in real time to a web based database. This application running on an Android mobile device will also provide an interface to enable user interaction. A web-interface will display in real time the data collected by the Android device (global position, data from the ECU, driver and management messages). On this WEB interface data will be displayed clearly, taking advantage of tools like Google Maps API. Being able to track the position of the vehicle and other parameters collected from the vehicle's ECU in real time is the first step towards a final goal of automating the creation of more economical and environmental routes in real time. |
