Alcohol Detection and Engine Locking System Using AVR Micro Controller

We usually come across drink and driving cases where drunk drivers crash their cars under the influence of alcohol causing damage to property and life. So here we propose an innovative system to eliminate such cases. Our proposed system would be constantly monitoring the driver breath by placing it on the driver wheel or somewhere the drivers breath can be constantly monitored by it. So if a driver is drunk and tries to drive the system detects alcohol presence in his/her breathe and locks the engine so that the vehicle fails to start.
        In another case if the driver is not drunk while he starts the vehicle and engine is started but he/she drinks while driving the sensor still detects alcohol in his breath and stops the engine so that the car would not accelerate any further and driver can steer it to roadside. In this system we use an AVR family micro controller interfaced with an alcohol sensor along with an LCD screen and a dc motor to demonstrate the concept. So here the alcohol sensor is used to monitor users breath and constantly sends signals to the micro controller.
     The micro controller on encountering high alcohol signal from the alcohol sensor displays alcohol detection note on LCD screen and also stops the dc motor to demonstrate as engine locking. The system needs a push button to start the engine. If alcohol is detected at the time of starting the engine the engine does not start at all. If alcohol is detected after engine starting, the system locks the engine at that time.

IoT Based Contact less Tachometer with Speed Control Using AVR Microcontroller and Hall Effect Sensor

Image
ABSTRACT Tachometer is device used to count the revolutions per minute of a rotating shaft. Generally tachometer makes direct contact with the rotating shaft. It will reduce the velocity of the shaft, giving faulty readings. Hence it is needed to measure the speed of rotating shaft without direct contact. This project describes a contact -less tachometer using AVR microcontroller ATmega328P and a hall affect sensor. This device can very accurately measure the rotational speed of a shaft without even touching it. This device is built on an ATmega328P microcontroller, an alpha-numeric LCD module and a Hall Effect sensor to detect the rotation of the shaft whose speed is being measured. In this project Hall Effect sensor acts as a digital counting device. It will detect any magnetic element passing in front of it and thus, will give an output pulse for each and every rotation of the shaft. These pulses are fed to microcontroller. Microcontroller counts the pulses coming from Ha...

Power Line Carrier Communication Using X10 Protocol

Image
ABSTRACT Most   electric   power   companies   employs   power   meter reader   to   collect   data   on   the customer’s energy consumption. Usually, this task is carried out manually, which can lead to high cost and errors, causing financial losses. This project has taken some approaches to minimize these problems. As in everywhere automation is required to reduce the work so we decided to implement to automatic meter reading using power line communication (PLC). Automatic meter reading (AMR) is the modern Power measuring device. It has advantages in safety, real time measuring and time saving as well as it has a better user interface and digital data analysis. Data is   send   over   existing   power   line   using   X10   protocol   that   reduces   the   complexity   and   cost   of system. In the latest generation of home automation systems, appl...
