Design of smart Monitor for automobiles using FPGA based Data Logger

Data acquisition is a ubiquitous application used for multiple fields and multiple environments. Till today, there is a vast demand and requirement of data loggers in automobiles to monitor and control several parameters. Therefore, data acquisition system for automobile application is discussed in this paper. While we are driving a vehicle, we sometimes take a left or right turn to overtake the other vehicle. While we are overtaking this there may be a chance of hitting the other vehicle or may be a chance of accidents. To avoid this, there should be an auto left or right indicator control with the help of accelerometer sensor. In addition to this, auto air conditioning in automobiles can be controlled by using temperature and humidity sensors. The proposed system is discussed about design and implementation of data acquisition system used for automobiles to perform above said applications. It is implemented using reconfigurable device, appropriate sensors and computer aided design tools. The communication of these sensors is performed with serial peripheral interface.
