[ PROJECT DESCRIPTION ] GPS BASED VEHICLE BILLING SYSTEM



Figure 3.1: Block diagram showing vehicle and server part

The system is divided into two parts mainly vehicle and server. The vehicle part lies in the vehicle whereas the server part is kept at any authorized controlling department. These two parts communicate using GSM module which is used in both the parts for transmitting and receiving information.

The vehicle part has a GPS component which continuously checks the satellite connection and keeps receiving the latitude and longitude of the specific point. This information gathered by the GPS receiver is sent to the   microcontroller through serial data transfer. When any customer hires the vehicle, the driver pushes the start button and the microcontroller starts to receive the serial data sent from GPS receiver. This data is manipulated to isolate the value of latitude and longitude. The isolated value is stored in the SD card in the form on CSV file. At the same time two consecutive values of latitude and longitude is used to calculate the distance between those two points. The calculated distance is again processed by the microcontroller in order to get the value of taxi fare according to the rate sent through the server computer.

Now, when the destination is reached, the driver pushes the stop button which then displays the taxi fare calculated on the LCD. In addition with this, the microcontroller also displays the location of the vehicle at that point comparing the received latitude longitude value with the one already specified in the SD card. The microcontroller also receives the data from the server part through the GSM module.

The additional component connected with the microcontroller is the accelerometer. This device is used to calculate the tilt of the vehicle which will help to detect the accident of the vehicle when occurred. The occurrence of the accident automates the microcontroller to send the signal to the server from where required measures can be taken.

Server consists of a microcontroller and GSM. The GSM receives the information sent from the vehicle which is in case of any accident. Similarly, the module sends data to the vehicle when any rate of the vehicle needs to be changed.

3.3 Methodology

Among different methods to calculate the distance, we are using the latitude and longitude coordinates which is provided by our GPS receiver. The distance between two latitude and longitude points is calculated using HAVERSINE FORMULA as given below:

 

a=sin²(Δφ/2)+cos(φ1).cos(φ2).sin²(Δλ/2)

c=2.atan2(√a,√(1−a))

d = R.c

 Where φ is latitude, λ is longitude, R is earth’s radius (mean radius = 6,371km)

           The programming language we use is C-programming. There is a special library called “math” which is included in our code through header file “math.h”. This library allows us to use functions like sine, cosine, tan, square etc.

           The value of Δφ and Δλ is difference of two consecutive latitude and longitude respectively.

           This formula gives the shortest distance between two points but the actual scenario of the roads is never a straight distance. To overcome this, we took the latitude and longitude for every 5 second and then calculate small displacements for each 5 seconds. These values were added finally to give total distance.

           To consider the traffic jams, we first check the distance and if it is zero, we check if the engine has stopped. In case, it hasn’t stopped, we calculate the time and add specified amount to the final bill.

           Similarly, for accident detection we compare the y coordinate of the vehicle with some threshold value. The accelerometer we use gives the coordinates in the form of voltage level which is compared with the threshold value. The value of 250 to 500 is termed as safe where as any variation from this is termed as accident. As we have measured, this value of voltage gives approximate of 45 degree tilt which can be considered as accident.



3.4 Algorithm


    Initialize LCD, GSM, GPS, SD card.
    Check start  button click

If yes: goto step 3

If no: goto step 2

    Extract position from GPS
    Store the location in SD card
    Calculate the distance
    Check stop button click

  If yes: goto step 6

  If no: goto step 5

    Calculate fare
    Display fare on LCD
    Stop



For accident detection:

    Start
    Get tilt value from accelerometer

    Compare with the threshold value

250<value<500: (no accident) go to step 2

Else (accident occurred) go to step 4

Abstract

Most People of Nepal are not rich enough to buy their own vehicle which compels them to use local vehicles like taxi to go somewhere. These taxies charge according to the rate specified that depends upon the distance travelled. The main purpose of our project “GPS BASED VEHICLE BILLING SYSTEM WITH SAFETY FEATURES” is to measure the accurate distance travelled by the vehicle which will then be used to calculate the accurate fare. The main blocks of the overall system includes GSM modem, GPS receiver, accelerometer, LCD, SD card and Processing Device. Since we are using GPS receiver, we have also kept track of the vehicle by storing different coordinates in the SD card attached. Term “safety feature” in the title specifies the use of accelerometer to measure the tilt of vehicle. Comparing this value with a threshold value gives the information of accident if happened. Not only is this but a message is also sent in case of accident to the pre-specified person with the help of GSM module.

By the help of GPS receiver, the location of vehicle can be tracked. The GPS receiver will provide the longitude and latitude value which indicates the position of vehicle from which we can calculate distance travelled by the vehicle. Same value is also stored in the SD card for future reference. Whenever the vehicle stops, it calculates the fare with the help of distance travelled and specified rate. In case of change in rate of fare, GSM module receives message regarding change and new rate which will immediately updated. Apart from this continuous tilt measurement is done. In case of any abnormality in tilt, message will be sent to the required person as specified.

[ INTRODUCTION ] GPS VEHICLE BILLING SYSTEM


INTRODUCTION

1.1 Background

In the developing countries like NEPAL, only small no of people have their private vehicles. So, mostly people depend on local vehicles which charge their customer as per the rate specified and distance travelled. These vehicles use a specified device to display the distance travelled and the fare accordingly. The device mainly used to measure in these vehicles is called taximeter. It simply calculates the distance by calculating the number of rotation of wheel and multiplying it with its circumference.
These vehicles are owned by a specified person (owner) and they give it to someone they trust to drive it who in return should submit the rent specified. The whole system runs on the basis of trust. No exact data is available for any party to evaluate each other. Local vehicles here are like the private vehicle of the driver. Vehicle like taxies have a specified taxi fare assigned initially in the device but they are never updated as the device has no connection with the authority once they are installed. This creates problem in case of any need in change of rate. For that the whole device has to be brought to the authorized place and each need to be updated.

LITERATURE REVIEW billing system

CHAPTER 2: LITERATURE REVIEW
The problem stated above is to find the accurate distance measuring device with the help of which correct fare calculation can be done. Different methods have been used to calculate the distance like measuring the circumference of the wheel, using latitude and longitude of the area and many more.
The mostly used device in vehicles to measure distance is Tachometer. A tachometer (revolution-counter, Tach, rev-counter, RPM gauge) is an instrument measuring the rotation speed of a shaft or disk, as in a motor or other machine. [2] The device usually displays the revolutions per minute. And knowing the circumference of the wheel we can easily calculate the distance travelled by the vehicle.
Same problem can be solved using GPS. The values of latitude and longitude obtained from the GPS can be used to calculate the distance travelled. It has a specific formula derived to calculate the distance which is called Haversine distance formula. [3]
GPS has not basically been used for measuring the distance as there are very few projects which use GPS for distance measurement. But it can be used as it helps both in distance measurement and tracking.
The distance measuring is not enough as vehicles do not run smoothly. No matter where they operate, however, all taxi meters measure the distance a cab covers, plus any time spent waiting. That way, the driver gets compensated for time, so they don't lose out on money just because they're stuck in traffic. It's also why a cab ride from point A to point B may cost you more when there's traffic than when there's not, even if the distance covered is the same. [4]
For accident detection, accelerometer is the most used device. Different parameters have been used to detect accident like tilt, acceleration, touch etc. For example in the recent air bag systems, a touch sensor is generally used to detect the crash. Touch sensor is simply a mechanical switch which is flipped when there is a mass shift that closes an electrical contact, telling the sensors that a crash has occurred. [5]
Our project is different from the basic distance measuring projects as we use GSM to connect with the server which is the authorized party of setting taxi fares. When the fare changes, the server sends the new fare to the vehicle which then continues with the new fare. So, there is a facility of immediate auto update of the fares as specified. The next thing that is new is to keep record of the vehicle in SD card so that the owner can easily see how and where his vehicle is running these days.

Voice operated Intelligent Fire extinguisher vehicle

The project aims at designing an intelligent voice operated fire extinguishingrobotic vehicle which can be controlled wirelessly through RF communication. TheRobotic vehicle has a camera mounted on it whose direction can also be controlled usingvoice commands. 
The proposed vehicle has a water jet spray which is capable ofsprinkling water. The sprinkler can be moved towards the required direction.
The advent of new high-speed technology provided realistic opportunity for new
robot controls and realization of new methods of control theory. This technical
improvement together with the need for high performance robots created faster, more
accurate and more intelligent robots using new robots control devices, new drivers and
advanced control algorithms. This project describes a new economical solution of robot
control systems. The presented robot control system can be used for different
sophisticated robotic applications.
Speech is the primary and most convenient means of communication between
humans. Whether due to technological curiosity to build machines that mimic human’s or
desire to automate work with machine, research in speech recognition as a first step
towards human-machine communication. Speech recognition is the process of
recognizing the spoken word to take necessary actions accordingly.
The controlling devices of the whole system are Microcontrollers. Speech
recognition module, wireless transceiver modules, obstacle detector, lamp, water jetspray, DC motors and buzzer are interfaced to Microcontroller. When the user fed the
voice commands to the speech recognition module, the microcontroller interfaced to it
reads the command and sends relevant data of that command wirelessly using transceiver
module. This data is received by the transceiver module on the robotic vehicle and feds it
to microcontroller which acts accordingly on motors, pump and lamp. The vehicle is
mounted with a camera which helps in viewing the live images on TV. Also, the vehicle
is capable of detecting obstacles and alerts the user through buzzer. To perform this
