Abstract

Increasing number of traffic accidents has been a great threat to the public security. Majority of the reports indicates that it is due to the driver’s drowsiness results in inability to make the better perception and also decline in vehicle control abilities. A perfect system has been designed which is capable of predicting the level of alertness and ensures driver’s maximum performance. The real time EEG signal obtained from the brain which is acquired through Lab VIEW is fed to the ICAFNN, a fuzzy neural network model which is capable of self-adapting and structure self constructing to acquire a small number of fuzzy rules for interpreting the embedded knowledge of the system from the training data set. Object classification is also made through the images acquired from the driver’s face which provides additional information and makes the classification more accurate. All the process is designed using LabVIEW which supports parallel processing and enhances real time application. The combined results obtained from the ICAFNN and object classification is more precise than the existing methods.

Abstract

Since the remote operated devices have a limited range, so there is a need for a device which can be controlled over large distance such as “cellphone”. The helicopter is operated by the help of cellphone that makes a call to the cellphone attached to the helicopter. The cellphone in the helicopter is kept in “Auto Answer” mode. so after ring, the cellphone accepts the call, a tone corresponding to the button pressed to be heard at the other end of the call. This tone is called “Dual Tone Multiple Frequency (DTMF) tone. The helicopter perceives this DTMF toe with the help of phone attached in the helicopter. The received tone processed by microcontroller and further, the DTMF tone is decoded into its equivalent binary digit and this binary number is sent to the microcontroller. This microcontroller is programmed to take a decision for any given input and puts its decision to the helicopter such as to move helicopter in different directions (forward, backward, up, down).the cellphone that make a call to the cellphone stacked to the helicopter acts as a remote.spy camera which is attached in the helicopter is used to provide information which makes operation easier. This project will help to enhance the defence activity.

Intelligent Automobile Control System using LabVIEW

Abstract

With an increase in the number of road accidents and the demand for improved transportation, the need for an automobile control system has become very essential. Our LabVIEW simulation of such a system, capable of wirelessly communicating with other vehicles in its proximity, is aimed at collision avoidance and in general, increasing ease and efficiency of transportation.

The acceleration and braking systems of the automobile are monitored and controlled, taking into account the received speed limit, safety warnings and traffic information for the particular area in addition to speed, position and direction details obtained from other vehicles in its vicinity that can similarly communicate with each other. When two or more vehicles create a possibility of collision, this system alerts the drivers of the vehicles under threat and also controls the speed and braking action of those vehicles, thereby avoiding collisions. Moreover, the fuel economy and exhaust emission control can also be modelled and addressed, for enhancing the overall performance of the automobile.

LabVIEW provides the perfect platform for the design and simulation of such a control system with interfacing capabilities for various sensors and means of wireless communication. A real-time implementation of such a system will improve comfort and safety levels by a large scale.

ABSTRACT:

Proper maintenance and upkeep of automobiles is essential for ensuring a reliable drive and smooth functioning of these modern wonders. Wheel alignment is one of these imperative tests that are carried out regularly. Improper alignment of wheels can result in rapid wear & tear of the tyres, abnormal pulling towards a particular side, problems on straight line tracking and host of other problems. Eventually it can lead to catastrophic failures if left unattended.

It is at this juncture, we in this paper, intend to propose a LabView based solution for wheel alignment problems using our own indigenously built setup. Wheel alignment generally involves determination of camber, caster and toe. This setup uses Optical sensors, Programmable Automation Controllers (PAC), Stepper motors, Angular Displacement sensors, Data Acquisition Cards (DAQ) and LabView among others to estimate these parameters. We hope this setup would serve in bringing down the time required for the process in addition to making it less complicated and relatively easy to use.

Magic Vehicle Above Ground

Abstract

In year 2007 , in bridge collapse in America many people were killed. If one can invent such a vehicle that will run at a certain height above ground without touching the surface of earth, then the accidents like bridge collapse will not happen. such a vehicle is implemented by me. The concept of such a vehicle is started from a simple example of a ball. Suppose a ball is thrown at a certain angle above ground, then at the peak , at a certain height at which it’s vertical velocity becomes ‘0’, if we apply equal and opposite vertical acceleration, then it will be at that certain height only, but it will move horizontally. My technical analysis starts from the concept of gravity meter.This is a type of sensor that will sense the gravitational acceleration as a signal, then they will convert the gravitational acceleration into equivalent electrical signal. it is quite possible if the vehicle is made up of piezoelectric material. A velocity meter will be interfaced with that gravity meter , so that when vehicle speeds up at inclined plane, then at a certain height when it’s vertical velocity becomes ‘0’, then an inverter will invert the equivalent gravity signal processed signal and both the signals can be added to the summer circuit to get equivalent vertical force via electrical force ‘0’and hence the vehicle would run at a certain height above ground. According to the trajectory of the road we can modify the height of the vehicle. This invention will be better than that of maglev train and will be very helpful to mankind.
