Abstract

This research aims to design a new concept of the carbon monoxide detection system, which carries a similar goal as another developed system which is to give warning the occupants inside the car cabin about the presence of carbon monoxide toxic gas. The new intelligent system was simply designed to improve the previous concepts in order to compromise user compatibility and cost-effectiveness. The new system's criteria are compact, reliable and low-cost, making the system affordable to car owners. In order to produce a low-cost carbon monoxide detection system, the selection of components used in the system plays an important role in the present work. The Arduino UNO R3, HC-05 Bluetooth module and MQ-7 carbon monoxide semiconductor gas sensor have been chosen for the new system as the components are affordable in price. Besides that, the semiconductor sensor has been proven as effective in the previous carbon monoxide detection system project. To make sure the device is compatible to be installed in vehicle, the design is made up compact which combines the control unit, the Bluetooth module and a sensor in the main body is mounted inside the vehicle cabin, the warning signal and sound is at the main body while the second warning signal and sound will be displayed at the occupant’s screen mobile phone which has been connected to Bluetooth module. The vii position of the sensor inside the body is very important as it carries the responsibility to detect the carbon monoxide that goes inside the cabin efficiently. At the end of this project, a prototype of the new system has been produced to be tested in the real situation. There are several tests set up with some condition to observe the ability of the device. Based on the result collected, the criteria of the new-built system have answered the objectives of the present work. The strength and weakness of the present system were also discussed to further improve the developed product.
