Project Summary

Our final year project is focused on Fleet Management System. Fleet managment system  is a system which helps institutions to manage vehicle fleets efficiently and effectively by providing features such as tracking, routing, dispatching, on-board information and security. The main purpose of the proposed system is essentially to automate the entire operation and information of vehicles. Our FMS consists of two basic aspects; FM Hardware and FM Software. The hardware consists of a OBD II tracking device (GPS) integrated with a microcontroller and IOT module. The software consists of an Android app and a secure server to store data. The possible applications of this project are continuous monitoring and real-time data logging, safety and security of vehicles and drivers, route management, tracking fuel bills, error checking. Many industries are currently using fleet tracking services such as courier and delivery companies, towing companies, trucking and transportation logistics, construction businesses, car rental and leasing companies and many more. It is a common scenario where a business manager would like to track the location of all the vehicles owned by the firm. While it’s not necessarily critical for fleet managers to know exactly how to overhaul hydraulic brakes or fix a leaky oil pan, understanding what those fixes require (i.e., cost and downtime) helps minimize negative impacts on the business.
 

Project Objectives

1. To add advancements in the existing system in the form of increased number of parameters that can be logged, since the present system holds capability to only record the location, speed and other basic relevant parameters.
2. Reduce risk, increase quality of service, and improve a fleet’s operational efficiency while minimizing its costs
3. To log driver’s driving habits for better monitoring of vehicle performance.
4. To check for errors by scanning the vehicle and generating the error codes.
5. Efficient Fuel Managment 

Project Implementation Method

The Sensors and devices in an automobile will be in communication with each other by CAN bus. The OBD II device will be extracting the data through the OBD II port  and CAN from multiple cars. This OBD II device will be integrated with a microcontroller and IOT module by UART or SPI interface. The android application will be made using Android Studio and Flutter UI and XML. The android application cannot directly communicate with the server where the data resides, hence we will make use of an API (Application Programming Interface). 

Benefits of the Project

1. Safety and Security of a vehicle and driver.
2. Resposible vehicle use and compliance with government regulations e.g speed limit 
3. Regulation and monitoring of fleets in these rising traffic congestions day by day.
4. Route optimization
5. Real time updates and insights
