The acquisition and transmission of vehicle traveling information to use smartphone

Abstract

In recently, A massive research effort in monitoring vehicle and traffic conditions has gone into developing methodologies that can be used to offer value-added Information to managers and drivers. Such the process can be realized by the large popularity of smartphones and the sensor equipped in the vehicle. With supporting this purpose, in this paper a smartphone and cloud computing based platform is designed that the real-time vehicle information (such as velocity, acceleration, engine speed, road GPS, etc) is acquisition and transmit to the ITS center server. The vehicle traveling status is collect by On-Board Diagnostics (OBD) system. Then This paper In detail expound the OBD wireless Bluetooth communication with smartphone and cloud computing platform methods to realize the real-time data transmission to the server. Such necessary information can be widely used in cooperative vehicle and infrastructure system, traffic control system, intelligent transportation system and so on.
