Abstract
A new approach to vehicle security is proposed, tried, tested. The designed and tested system comprises an odor detection system (E-Nose) that sends signals corresponding to selected odors to the smart vehicle Electronic Control Unit (ECU), which is interfaced to a smart system with neural networks. The signal is interpreted in time and space, whereby a certain ordered number of samples should be obtained before the vehicle functions are unlocked. Correlation of rise and decay times and amplitudes of the signal is carried out to ensure security. The proposed system is highly secured and could be further developed to become a vital and integrated part of Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS) through the addition of driver’s body odor smell as an extra measure of security and in cases of accidents to auto call emergency services with driver identification and some diagnostics. Such system can be utilized in smart cities.
Highlights
An E-nose is generally recognized as a device that encompasses array of electrochemical sensors with specification capabilities and adaptable pattern recognition system, able to classify individual vapors components or combination of vapors
A fresh approach to the use and application of E-Nose system is proposed which utilizes odor sensing together with artificial neural networks interfaced to the Electronic Control Unit (ECU) of the vehicle
An intelligent or smart vehicle, is a vehicle that is capable of sensing its environment by combining a variety of sensor inputs, such as RAdio Detection And Ranging (RADAR), LIDAR LIght Detection And Ranging (LIDAR), Global Positioning Systems (GPS),Computer vision devices such as Cameras, and other safety, mobility, comfort, and security related applications
Summary
An E-nose is generally recognized as a device that encompasses array of electrochemical sensors with specification capabilities and adaptable pattern recognition system, able to classify individual vapors components or combination of vapors. An electronic nose recognizes an odor through fingerprinting of its chemical elements using an array of sensors backed by intelligent software for pattern recognition. Such technology is already in use across many industries, including agricultural, environmental, food, manufacturing, and the military. A fresh approach to the use and application of E-Nose system is proposed which utilizes odor sensing together with artificial neural networks interfaced to the ECU of the vehicle Such approach will support both driver and vehicle functionality in terms of driver identification for secure access and mobility. The system can be further developed to support driver health and status monitoring while driving and driver vanning, support and intervention under critical conditions if integrated with other vehicular systems and interfaced to wireless communication systems
