An Intelligent Online Vehicle Tyre Pressure Monitoring System

Abstract

This paper aims at designing an intelligent online tyre pressure monitoring system (TPMS). The objective of this work is to display the tyre pressure of the tyre and also give the indication about the quality. The data corresponding to the tyre pressure is obtained with a high precision MEMS pressure sensor. The output of the MEMS pressure sensor is amplified and transmitted to the processing unit placed on the dash of the vehicle using wireless communication (RF). The processing is carried on using fuzzy logic algorithms on LabVIEW platform. The output pressure is displayed along with the indicator representing the quality. Indicator is green when the tyre pressure is in the desired range specified by the manufacturer. Yellow when the pressure has dropped and need to be inflated. Red indicates tyre pressure is below the safety driving conditions. After testing and validating the entire system using LabVIEW. The entire code is converted to verilog code and dumped on to FPGA chip (Spartan 3E) using FPGA module of LabVIEW with CompactRIO, for implementation of FPGA chip on real time system.DOI:http://dx.doi.org/10.11591/ijece.v2i3.239
