Real-Time Vehicle Emission Monitoring using LabVIEW and NI myRIO

Abstract

Abstract: The growing concern over vehicular emissions and their impact on the environment has driven the need for advanced emission monitoring systems. This paper proposes the design and implementation of a Vehicle Emission Monitoring System using LabVIEW and NI myRIO, a real-time embedded hardware platform. The system is designed to monitor and analyze key pollutants such as carbon monoxide (CO) and smoke, utilizing MQ-7 and MQ-2 gas sensors, respectively. The NI myRIO serves as the core controller for data acquisition and processing, interfacing with the sensors to gather real-time emission data. This data is processed using LabVIEW to provide a user-friendly interface, enabling the visualization of pollutant levels. A GSM module is integrated to send alerts or notifications when emissions exceed predefined thresholds, allowing for immediate corrective actions. The system is powered by an external power supply for stable and continuous operation. This monitoring system offers real-time detection, ease of deployment, and scalability for integration into various vehicular systems. By leveraging the capabilities of LabVIEW and myRIO, the proposed system provides a robust solution for managing vehicular emissions, contributing to cleaner air and compliance with environmental regulations.
