Sistema de telemetria para veículos automotores

Abstract

This job introduces to you a complete and budget telemetry system called Smart Kart, for automotive vehicle, most specifically Kart Cross racing vehicles. The main purpose of this system is to collect vehicle movement data and show them in real time to the pilot and his team, with the objective to improve competition performance. This job was meticulously planned and developed, taking into consideration that motor racing is one of the most acclaimed sports in the world. With this system, amateur competitions and budget competitions will be able to enjoy technologies that help the development skills of their pilots and teams. The system has basically three units: i) an embedded vehicle unit equipped with sensors, a display, a radio frequency module and microcontroller of the Arduino platform for processing, showing and sending acquired data during the race or training; ii) a translator device that converts data from the vehicle’s radio to the Bluetooth protocol, which communicates with a tablet in the hands of the pilot team, and iii) a Smart Kart application written natively for the Android platform running on a 7-inch tablet, where the main purpose is to show real time vehicle data for the pilot team.
