IoT Based Communication System for Autonomous Electric Vehicles

This paper discusses the development of an Internet of Things (IoT)-based communication system for Electric Vehicles (EVs) that utilizes a communication protocol that is bandwidth-efficient, lightweight, and uses the least amount of battery power. This system was designed using the Message Queuing Telemetry Transport (MQTT) protocol, which is a lightweight protocol that consumes very little system power. A Quality of Service (QoS) levels comparison was carried out to determine the suitable QoS level for this system. This paper proposes a Lane Detection System which is an Advanced Driver-Assistance System (ADAS) feature, and its parameters, such as radius of curvature, the off-center distance of the vehicle, and curve direction, are calculated and communicated via the communication system. In the Lane Detection System, color selection and edge detection techniques were used. This system can detect lanes in real-time and store and send data to a remote location for vehicle monitoring.
