Introduction:
Now days everything is turning smart. With wide advancements in technology, people are slowly
migrating from human tasks to completely automated ones. Day by day the cost of automation is
also coming down and now people can easily afford automated devices. Whether it is the smart
home or smart office, automation has made these things easily accessible to the common man.
Even in the field of automobile engineering it is inevitable to use smart systems. With technology
running at fast pace, it is necessary to go ahead with technology, as it not only makes a human
more smart in this fast running world but also reduces the tasks on human beings.
Taking all these factors into consideration this project involves designing and fabrication of
android controlled vehicle prototype. This vehicle can be operated wirelessly over the Bluetooth
using an android cell phone which can command the vehicle to navigate.
The robotic vehicle also has an intelligent system to automatically reduce the speed of the
vehicle and brake it when some other vehicle comes in front of it thus preventing accidents.
Objective:
The following are the main objectives of the project. These will be accomplishes one by one to
1) To design and fabricate a vehicle prototype which can be controlled by any android
detection and prevention system which automatically brakes the robotic vehicle when
Research Methodology:
The android operating system is very famous now days in smartphone market. Android is a
mobile operating system (OS) based on the Linux kernel and currently developed by Google.
With a user interface based on direct manipulation, Android is designed primarily for
touchscreen mobile devices such as smartphones and tablet computers, with specialized user
interfaces for televisions (Android TV), cars (Android Auto), and wrist watches (Android Wear).
The OS uses touch inputs that loosely correspond to real-world actions, like swiping, tapping,
pinching, and reverse pinching to manipulate on-screen objects, and a virtual keyboard. Despite
being primarily designed for touchscreen input, it also has been used in game consoles, digital
cameras, regular PCs (e.g. the HP Slate 21) and other electronics.
This project involves harnessing the power of android to drive a vehicle which can be controlled
using an android enabled cell phone. The entire research methodology of the project can be
divided into following modules. As we move ahead with the project, every module will be
completed one by one which will then be assembled to make complete working prototype of
The entire approach to the project is divided into the following modules:
prototype of the vehicle. The frame or chassis of the vehicle is fabricated in the
mechanical assembly of the vehicle. This forms the base on which other components of
the vehicle will be mounted. The chassis is the integral part of this project as it holds all
the different parts including the transmission and the electronic circuitry. The mechanical
assembly of the vehicle also consists of the drive train of the vehicle which is responsible

throughputs approaching 1MIPS per MHz, allowing the system designer to optimize
signals from the android device. The microcontroller then processes the signals and then
vehicle.
Whenever vehicle is too close to any obstacle this circuitry is activated. This
automatically halts the vehicle whenever it senses the object or another vehicle to close to
this vehicle.
Thus this makes a way for smart accident control system.
By bringing together all these modules we can make a fully functional android controlled
vehicle which can be controlled by sending the signals from the android enabled cell
phone.
