Abstract
The “Connected Car System” is a iot based projects related to car comprehensive platform designed to enhance the driving experience by integrating vehicles with a network of services, data, and devices. This system leverages IoT, cloud computing, and advanced communication technologies to enable real-time vehicle-to-everything (V2X) communication, including vehicle-to-vehicle (V2V), vehicle-to-infrastructure (V2I), and vehicle-to-cloud (V2C). The primary goals are to improve road safety, optimize traffic flow, enhance vehicle performance, and provide drivers with a range of connected services, such as remote diagnostics, navigation, and entertainment. The iot based projects related to car system represents a key component in the development of smart cities and autonomous driving technologies.
Existing System
Traditional vehicle systems operate in isolation, with limited connectivity to external devices or networks. Most vehicles rely on internal sensors and onboard diagnostics, with minimal integration with other vehicles, infrastructure, or cloud services. Existing systems provide basic functionalities such as GPS navigation and Bluetooth connectivity, but they lack the capability to interact dynamically with their environment. This limitation results in missed opportunities for enhancing safety, traffic efficiency, and user experience. Moreover, traditional systems do not offer predictive maintenance, real-time traffic updates, or the ability to communicate with other vehicles and infrastructure, leading to suboptimal driving experiences.
Proposed System
The proposed “Connected Car System” introduces a fully integrated, networked platform that connects vehicles to a broad ecosystem of services, devices, and data sources. The system enables real-time communication between vehicles, infrastructure, and cloud services to enhance safety, efficiency, and convenience. By using V2X communication protocols, the system can provide real-time alerts about road conditions, traffic, and potential hazards, as well as enable advanced features like autonomous driving, remote diagnostics, and predictive maintenance. The system also includes a mobile application that allows drivers to monitor and control various aspects of their vehicle remotely, ensuring a seamless and connected driving experience.
