ITS applications usually involve inter-vehicle communication as a medium to exchange information between vehicles experiencing undesirable and/or dangerous situations (e.g., traffic jam, accident, or bad road conditions) and other surrounding vehicles. For example, if the in-vehicle ABS is activated, it might indicate bad road conditions, and if this information is shared between vehicles, other drivers will be warned to take preventive actions before getting into a dangerous situation. In this paper, an embedded system is presented for in-vehicle event monitoring. The system uses a diagnostic interface to plug into the vehicle’s existing network (i.e. CAN bus) and a software is integrated to extract relevant information. Wireless communication modules, mainly WLAN, ZigBee and GPS/GPRS, are integrated into the system to communicate with other surrounding vehicles as well as emergency/control centers. A prototype is developed and deployed in a real vehicle, experiments are conducted, and results are reported to show the efficiency of the system and the soundness of gathered in-vehicle data.
