In this paper, we designed and implemented mobile object automatic system based on senor networks for telematics. For developing this system, we gather the various sensing data through wireless communication method using zigbee sensor networks and analyze them in monitoring equipment. And we enable the driver to recognize the car state information on the whole by interfacing analyzed data to telematics unit. And, we implemented automatic controller that can control temperature and humidity in car automatically by actuating air conditioner based on the data that was monitored throughout temperature sensor, humidity sensor and brightness sensor based on sensor networks.

Weather acts through low visibility, precipitation, high winds, and temperature extremes to affect driver capabilities, vehicle performance (i.e., traction, stability and maneuverability), pavement friction, roadway infrastructure, crash risk, traffic flow, and agency productivity. Recently a variety of road weather big data sources such as CCTV, road sensor/systems, car sensor have been developed to solve the weather-related problems, This study identifies and defines the types and characteristics of these sources to suggest how to utilize them for car safety and efficiency as well as road management through analyzing domestic and oversea cases of road weather big data applications.

An efficient outdoor local localization method is suggested using multi-sensor fusion with MU-EKF (Multi-Update Extended Kalman Filter) for car-like mobile robots. In outdoor environments, where mobile robots are used for explorations or military services, accurate localization with multiple sensors is indispensable. In this paper, multi-sensor fusion outdoor local localization algorithm is proposed, which fuses sensor data from LRF (Laser Range Finder), Encoder, and GPS. First, encoder data is used for the prediction stage of MU-EKF. Then the LRF data obtained by scanning the environment is used to extract objects, and estimates the robot position and orientation by mapping with map objects, as the first update stage of MU-EKF. This estimation is finally fused with GPS as the second update stage of MU-EKF. This MU-EKF algorithm can also fuse more than three sensor data efficiently even with different sensor data sampling periods, and ensures high accuracy in localization. The validity of the proposed algorithm is revealed via experiments.

This paper describes performance improvement of GPS/DR Integration system using area decision algorithm and vehicle movement information. In GPS signal blockage area, i.e., tunnel and underground parking area, DR sensor errors are accumulated and navigation solution is gradually diverged. We use the car movement information according to moving area to correct the DR sensor error. Also, vehicle movement is decided as stop, straight line, turn and movement changing region through DR sensor data analysis. The car experiment is performed to verify the supposed method. The results show that supposed method provides small position and heading error than previous method.

This paper is a study of Car safety network system using sensed data from varied sensors. This hardware will work with various sensors and communication protocols. There are many sensors. Then, I selected 3 sensors for test, which were sonic sensor for distance checking, tilt sensor for rollover and impact sensor for car accident and theft. Also, there are many interfaces for sensor. Therefore I designed hardware to support various sensor interfaces. For instance ADC(Analog to Digital converter), I2C, RS232, RS485, CAN. In this case, sonic sensor have I2C interface, tilt sensor have RS485 interface and Impact sensor have analog interface. In this research, I can gather sensing data from 3 sensors (mentioned above), and sending control signal to other processor with RS232, RS485, CAN communication. So, we can use easily this hardware for many cases of systems, which need sensors.

ATPS(Automatic Transmission Position Sensor) is the position sensor of an automatic transmission which transforms the gear changes into the electrical signals and transmits them to TCU. This paper deals with an development of the sensor output signal analysis system for ATPS inspection using LabVIEW. The developed system is designed to carry easily, and it can be installed for inspection directly in a car fitted with an automatic transmission. The system can not only detect the output signals of the sensor but also inspect the sensor behavior under the running state of a car. For this, the system is designed to control the position and the speed of motor. Also, it has the database system for the systematic output data management and the convenient GUI for user.

We propose a newly developed automobile sensor monitoring system incorporated with a tire pressure monitoring sensor(TPMS). The RF-transmitter based on a tire pressure sensor, sends a frame data about measured tire-pressure to RF receiver. And the various sensing signals based on sensors such as fuel-level sensor, engine oil level sensor and temperature sensors, are converted into 10-bit digital data. The microprocessor displays converting data such as tire pressure, trip distance, fuel quantity, coolant temperature and car-room temperature, on LCD panel. The proposed system can be successfully adapted to monitoring of the tire pressure and various automobile sensors.

This paper presents a smart parking guidance system based on IoT car-stoppers. The car-stopper embedding an IoT sensor module has the advantage of easy installation compared to conventional parking sensors buried in ground. The parking status data are transferred to the IoT gateway by the sequential point-to-point communication between the car-stoppers. The data transferred from the IoT gateway are stored in the web server, and parking spaces can be monitored remotely through the Android app in a smart device. An active/sleep cycle method using a watch dog timer is employed to reduce the power consumption of the battery powered car-stopper. The power consumption of the car-stopper is measured to be 80 and 25 mW at the active and sleep mode, respectively. A configuration of ultra-low-power IoT sensor module is proposed to minimize the power consumption in the sleep mode. The operation of the implemented system has been verified in a real-world parking lot.
