Project Title:
- IoT-Based Alcohol Detection and Engine Locking System
About the Project:
- This project aims to increase road safety and reduce accidents caused by drunk driving. The system detects alcohol using a sensor. If alcohol is detected above the safe limit, the engine automatically locks and prevents the vehicle from starting. The system uses IoT technology for monitoring and communication.
Accomplishments
- I got a new GSM module.
- The GSM module is working properly.
- The alcohol detection system is working correctly.
- The engine locks when alcohol is detected.
- The anti-theft system is working.
- The accident (fall) detection system is working.
- The system sends alert messages using GSM.
- The location tracking feature is working.
- My IoT-Based Alcohol Detection and Engine Locking System is fully working without problems.
Challenges Faced at the Starting Stage of Communication:
- At the beginning, the GSM module was not responding to AT commands.
- There were wiring mistakes between TX and RX pins.
- The power supply was not stable, so the GSM did not work properly.
Plan for the Week:
- Check all wires again.
- Check power supply.
- Test SMS sending many times.
- Check if all parts work together.
- Write the new updates in my notebook.
