INTRODUCTION

The fuel consumption is increasing enormously day-by-day, due to which the fuel reserves are becoming scarce. In order to serve for this cause we are designing an efficient fuel saver system, which prevents unnecessary wastage of fuel by switching OFF the vehicle engines while they are waiting for the traffic signal to turn green.

SIGNAL TRANSMITTER

LANE TRANSMITTER

LANE ID LANE ID (DIFFERENT) (MATCHING)

LANE ID

RF receiver located in a vehicle receives the lane id transmitted by lane transmitter and stores it as its identity. Then it receives an OFF/ON signal from the signal transmitter, depending on whether signal is RED/GREEN and accordingly vehicle engine gets OFF/ON.

PROBLEM STATEMENT
The design of an efficient fuel saver system to automatically switch off the vehicle engine, when a vehicle has to wait for traffic signal to turn Green.

FEATURES
}

Stops the vehicle engine if vehicle has to wait for signal to turn GREEN. Start of engines when traffic signal is GREEN. System is fully automatic. Vehicle driver need not to have any knowledge about this new system when installed in the vehicle, as it is fully automatic. Lessens number of accidents. Helps in better implementation of traffic rules.

SCOPE OF PROJECT
PRESENT SCOPE
}

The Project has a wider scope, it can be used in almost all places where there is a traffic signal. System can work in the places where the temperature ranges between -55oC to 125oC. System is a fully automated system (no any user interfaces) hence anybody who owns a vehicle can use it without the requirement of any knowledge about it.

FUTURE SCOPE
}

Semi-Automated Drive system A drive system that would automatically take care of few parameters of the Vehicle (Speed limit, no parking zones etc.) To regulate fuel usage in all kinds of engines. This system could be fit into vehicle running on nonconventional fuels (hydrogen fuel, solar powered etc.). Regulate vehicles to run at optimum speed: System would assist the driver to drive at an optimum speed. Drive assist in hilly sections Due to narrow roads, only one vehicle would be capable of negotiation a turn at once.

REQUIREMENTS ANALYSIS & SPECIFICATION

FUNCTIONAL REQUIREMENTS.
} }

A lane transmitter has to transmit the lane id continuously. The receiver in the vehicle has to receive the lane id and store it as its lane identity. A signal transmitter has to send the lane id [ON signal] of the lane which has a green signal for 30 seconds [Timing may vary at different places]. If the lane id transmitted by the signal transmitter does not match with lane identity stored in vehicle , then vehicle engine should stop. The vehicle's receiver should receive ON signal and start the engine automatically.

NON FUNCTIONAL REQUIREMENTS

}

For the system to work properly, temperature need to be in between -55oC to 125oC. There should not be any signal transmission at same frequency and same Baud rate in which system is communicating. All the transmissions should take place less than 1 second, 98% of times. All transmissions should be correct 99% of times.

USE CASE DIAGRAMS

USE CASE 1: Register the vehicle with lane number.
PRIMARY ACTOR: - Lane transmitter. PRECONDITION: - There must be a working RF receiver fixed in the vehicle. POST CONDITION: - Lane number must be stored in the vehicle receiver. MAIN SUCCESS SCENARIO: Begins when vehicle enters the lane Lane transmitter continuously broadcasts the lane number On reaching the broadcast range, vehicle receives the lane number Lane number is stored in the receiver USE CASE DIAGRAM: -

USE CASE 2: To start or stop the vehicle engine.

ACTOR: - Signal transmitter and receiver. PRIMARY ACTOR: - Vehicle receiver. PRECONDITION: - There must be a lane number stored in the vehicle receiver. POST CONDITION: - Vehicle should stop or start. MAIN SUCCESS SCENARIO: Signal transmitter continuously broadcasts the lane id. On reaching broadcast range, vehicle receives the lane id. Lane number and lane id are matched, if match found vehicle starts else stops. USE CASE DIAGRAM: -

MODULE LEVEL EXPLANATION

ALGORITHM FOR LANE TRANSMITTER.
}

Checks if within the time limits, if within time limits go to step 2 else go to step 3. The lane transmitter transmits the lane number, go to step 1. Stop transmission. END

ALGORITM FOR SIGNAL TRANSMITTER

}

Checks if within the time limits, if yes go to step 2 else go to step 5. Transmits the lane id. Waits for signal time (amount of time during which the signal indicates red/green). Calculate next lane id, go to step 1. Stop transmission. END

ALGORITHM FOR VEHICLE RECEIVER.

} } }

Receive lane number while passing through a lane. Store the lane number. Receive the lane id transmitted by signal transmitter. Compares lane id with lane number, if it matches go to step 5 else go to step 6. Vehicle moves. Go to step 7. Vehicle waits until lane number match with lane id, go to step 3. END

Input description
LANE TRANSMITTER has to send the lane number.

Expected output A testing receiver has to receive the lane number sent by lane transmitter.

Actual output Receiver received the lane number sent.

SIGNAL TRANSMITTER has to send the lane id of the lane having green signal.

A testing receiver has to receive the lane id sent by signal transmitter.

Receiver received the lane id sent.

Receiver in the vehicle should receive the signal transmitted by lane transmitter and store.

The BCD display should show the transmitted number stored in receiver. The vehicle engine should start.

Receiver successfully receives and stores the number received. Engine started.

LANE TRANSMITTER sends the lane id matching with the lane number stored in receiver being tested.

LANE TRANSMITTER sends the lane number other than the lane number stored in receiver being tested.

The vehicle engine should turn OFF. Engine turns off.

While the vehicle starts after the lane id and lane number match, it shouldnt stop receiving any other lane id.

The vehicle should stop reception.

The vehicles stopped receiving.

Signal transmitter transmits the next lane id. The vehicle started after match

Vehicles moves out of that

should successfully move out of the signal. signal.

CONCLUSION
Though the initial setting up charges do apply, but the system is cheaper with a complete module (transmitter or the receiver) not costing more than Rs600 which is not a huge amount. The long term benefits are very high. The system is highly reliable and dont need much of maintenance.

FUTURE WORK
The system can be enhanced to include following more features. 1. If a vehicle arrives at the signal when its around 20s to turn to green signal, the vehicle engine is not stopped. 2. speed controller module can be incorporated in this system.
