Aim & Objective

Design a Microcontroller based fuel gas


leakage detection and alerting system using GSM for
vehicles using LPG as fuel. This project is safety concern
of vehicle.
Abstract
Vehicle fuel gas leakage detection and alerting system
using GSM is our project. This system should be used in vehicles which
using LPG as fuel.
whenever the LPG fuel gas leakage happens, the gas
sensor MQ6 senses the leakage and alerts the driver by alarm and
informs the same to microcontroller. The sensor has excellent sensitivity
combined with a quick response time . Simultaneously vehicle window
glass is slides down by the relay unit to exit leakage gas.
Temperature sensorLM35 is used to sense the level of
temperature. Whenever the temperature level exceeds the threshold
value, it Informs PIC Microcontroller. Microcontroller is a general
purpose device, which integrates a number of the components of a
microprocessor system on to single chip.
By using GSM modem Microcontroller will send a
message to authorized user regarding gas leakage and temperature
exceeding level for further preventive action. GSM is global system for
mobile communication which is used to send and receive information.
Existing Method

Earlier we had only manual method to identify the


safety problem.

Earlier human sense organs are used to detect


leakage.
Problem Identified

Slow action because of delayed human response.

No idea about temperature.

No guaranty for safety because explosion can occure

due to rise in temperature.


Proposed Method

To solve the above problem, we are introducing a


new technology based on embedded system. In our project
we are using two sensors, Gas sensor and temperature
sensor
By using gas sensor detecting gas leakage, By
using temperature sensor, detecting the temperature level.
PIC Microcontroller identifies the temperature and
gas leakage by sensors, it alerts user by using GSM
technology. simultaneously window glass slide down
Advantages of Proposed method

•Faster response time:

We are using most advanced technology,


gas sensor , temperature sensor, PIC
Microcontroller, GSM modem.

•Accurate detection:

By use of more efficient device such as gas


sensor and temperature sensor.

Hardware description
Gas sensor(MQ 6):

Gas sensor for use to detect the presence of LPG leak in vehicle or
in a service station, storage tank environment. This unit can be easily
incorporated into an alarm unit, to sound an alarm of the LPG
concentration. The sensor has excellent sensitivity combined with a
quick response time. This device is used to sense leakage of LPG
gaseous. The detector give the analog signal to the Micro controller
with respect to the gas leakage.
Temperature sensor(LM 35)
The LM35 series are precision integrated-circuit
temperature sensor. This device give the analog signal to
Micro controller corresponding to the rise in temperature.

The LM35 is rated to operate over a −55° to +150°C


temperature range
Operates from 4 to 30 volts
Less than 60 μA current drain
