Design of Cost effective QoL Infotainment System

Abstract

In vehicle infotainment (IVI) systems are becoming increasingly popular in vehicles. It is less a modern luxury and more a utility as the quality of life (QoL) of the average individual improves. The aim of this project is to attempt a more efficient design with low cost hardware that improves the Quality of Life (QoL) of the driver and passengers of a vehicle. The method of design is to use commonly available resources and appropriately interfacing them to create an infotainment system that collects, displays and stores information. The collection of information is local, the display is both local and over a cloud, and the storage is over a cloud. The data collected by the sensors could also be processed according to a manufacturer at either the microcontroller, or the phone application, and relevant information can be displayed on an attached screen and on the cloud for analysis by a manufacturer
