An automotive diagnostics, fuel efficiency and emission monitoring system using CAN

Car gadgets i.e. sensors, actuators, smaller scale controllers, instrumentation boards, and correspondence systems speak to a noteworthy development range in the car area. The push zones of car hardware incorporate execution and dependability, security, comfort, diversion and obviously the natural point of view. This paper focusses on a novel approach towards utilizing the controller area network (CAN) to achieve data acquisition, and logging for monitoring of critical vehicle parameters like vehicle speed, engine rpm, fuel economy, engine temperature, and distance travelled. An innovative approach towards monitoring the level of exhaust gas emissions and GPS based tracking is also discussed. A diagnostic warning system to alert the driver in case of malfunction or when set limits on speed, or other engine parameters like rpm, engine temperature are violated, is designed using Lab VIEW graphical programming language.
