IoT based Speed Control for Semi-Autonomous Electric On-Road Cargo Vehicle

The paper develops an investigative GSM enabled IoT based speed control scheme suitable for electric On-Road cargo vehicles. The design involves the bounding of the parameters that include the vehicle speed, motor speed, Truck payload, battery SoC (State of Charge), battery SoH (State of Health), real time navigation points using GPS, tire pressure, motor temperature and current consumption, driver fatigue detection and vehicle proximity detection which enters the system using GSM enabled wireless sensors and IoT based maps for arriving at the recommended speed. It engages a state-of-the-art Microcontroller based embedded system to govern the operation of the three-phase induction motor in accordance with the changes that the vehicle either experiences or becomes necessary for it to negotiate. It incorporates a close monitoring methodology for evolving a sequence of steps that enable the system to remain in operation over scheduled time frames. The results obtained from a simulation process carried out using embedded-c firmware code on ARM Core STM32 micro-controller exemplify the merits and illustrate the performance of the chosen vehicle in terms of its ability to be used in real world systems.
