Abstract
The paper introduces an IoT platform to evolve a multimodal speed control mechanism for a double cab off-road electric vehicle operating in open port conditions. It attempts to integrate an embedded system using anARM core-based STM32 Microcontroller for monitoring the vehicle with its payload and, therefrom, provides a recommendation to control the speed in accordance with the variations in real-time. The system design involves the influence of passenger occupancy status, vehicle speed, engine speed, battery SoC (State of Charge), battery SoH (State of Health), and real-time navigation using various sensors and GPS-based IoT maps consideration. It develops a closed-loop monitoring scheme to follow a sequence of steps that allows the vehicle to remain safe in operation over a sustained duration. The results obtained from the modular test simulation process through the embedded-c firmware illustrate the advantages and establish the performance of the vehicle in relation to the efficiency of the algorithm on a wide dynamic range of varying payload and passenger combinations.
