Smart Electric Vehicle Monitoring System Using ESP8266 and Raspberry Pi with Azure Services

Electric Vehicles can serve several purposes. Monitoring these EVs may optimize their performance. The main parameters to be monitored include Speed, Distance, Battery level (%), GPS, Temperature, and Gas. Here speed is monitored to avoid rash driving on campus, Distance is monitored to estimate the service time using an Odometer, battery level is monitored to optimize the battery charge cycle, GPS is monitored to locate the vehicle, the temperature is monitored to the environment of EV, and finally Gas is monitored to whether there are any leakage of gas or burning of battery in EV. ESP8266 is used to read all the parameters mentioned earlier from various sensors. ThingSpeak cloud is used to monitor the speed of vehicles through a virtual speedometer and the push bullet application is used to send notifications when the vehicle is over-speeding also ESP8266 sends sensor data to Raspberry Pi using serial communication which acts as a gateway and sends it to Azure cloud for data analysis, visualization of each parameter using the Power BI which plays a crucial role to give service alerts to the vehicle owner.
