Automated Control System for Air Pollution in Vehicle

Abstract

The main objective of this paper is to implement the concept of Automated Pollution Control Detection system in vehicles to indicate the owner of the vehicle that it is high time he/she should get the vehicle for the pollution test. In case the pollution level is beyond the defined threshold level then the owner shall get the vehicle serviced. This is done with the help of a smoke sensor, microcontroller, relay, tachometer, and IR sensor. Smoke sensor senses the smoke emitted from the vehicle and the output is given to microcontroller, which compares the output received with a standardized value and displays it on the LCD. If the emission is very high i.e. if it crosses the threshold value red led will glow and with the use of tachometer a certain kilometer limit will be given to the owner, after that the fuel supply to the engine will be cut off and the vehicle stops. A real time work is implemented where a demo application is made with the help of Atmega-8 controller. All the other devices get integrated and work accordingly. Comparing with the existing methods which indicates the owner to get his/her vehicle serviced done through a message using a GSM module, our method is effective because in this concept the vehicle will come to hold if the service is not done instead of just informing the owner, which will stop the emission of harmful pollutants at any cost.
