CHAPTER I
INTRODUCTION
One of the most crucial systems used in I.C engines is the ignition
system.The compressed air-fuel mixture needs to be ignited by a mechanism in
a sparkignition engine. The ignition system accomplishes this by igniting the
fuel inside the cylinder at the conclusion of the compression stroke. A current
plug is reached by it, which is a component of the electrical system. It provides
the spark needed to properly ignite the air-fuel mixture. The igniting system
delivered current spikes at high voltages (up to 30,000 volts) to a spark plug. At
the spark plug gap, these surges cause the electric sparks. The compressed air-
fuel mixture in the combustion chamber is ignited by a spark. Every cycle of
operation must have the proper timing for the sparking to occur at the
conclusion of the compression stroke.
Battery The battery is utilised to supply the ignition system with current. The
ignition coil is then powered by this. The battery typically has a voltage of 6V
or 12V. Ignition Switch: The engine can be started or stopped with it. The
Primary Winding of the Ignition Coil is connected to one end of the switch,
while the Battery is attached to the other end.
Ignition Coil : It is the primary component of the ignition system. Its primary
function is to increase battery voltage to a level where it may generate a spark.
3
It functions as a step-up transformer and has two windings: a primary winding
with a smaller turn and a secondary winding with a larger turn.
Spark Plug: The spark plug is another important part of the ignition system.
This is where the actual spark is generated for the combustion of fuel or charge.
If there is more than one spark plug, each is connected separately to the
distributor and emits the spark in sequence.
- It adjusts the ignition timing to the speed and load of the vehicle.
A huge increase in the consumption of fossil fuels which took place in recent
not only leads to the threat of depletion of resources, but also to an excessive
emission of greenhouse gases. One of the important factors leading to the
exhaustion of crude oil is road transport, which is also responsible for air
pollution, especially in cities. Such status quo threatens the implementation of
sustainable development, which was formulated for the first time in a
wellknown UN report Our Common Future. This report presented a holistic
concept of human civilization. The main principle of sustainable development is
4
ensuring the intra-generational equity, i.e. equal access to basic goods for all
living people and avoiding polluting the environment (Udo et al. 2010,
Pawłowski 2008, 2009a, 2009b, 2013). On the other hand, the principle of
international equity advocates frugal and efficient use of non-renewable
resources, so that future generations could have decent living conditions.
Energy suppl is one of the key problems (Sztumski 2016). Without sufficient
energy supply, human civilization would not be able to develop. Meanwhile,
acquisition of usable energy form fossil fuels leads to the emission of
greenhouse gases which induce climatic changes, thus threatening the
development of societies (Lindzen et al. 2016, Liu 2015, Żelazna et al. 2015).
Road transport is one of the factors causing a serious deterioration of air cities.
Therefore, actions are taken in order to mitigate the negative impact on the
natural and social environment (Cao et al. 2016 a,b, Chakraborty et al. 2016,
Jarzyna et al. 2014, Duran et al. 2013). Due to the fact that vehicles that run on
oil are dominant in road transport, it is justified to conduct studies of reducing
emissions of pollutants from such cars. One of the fundamental parameters
characterizing the engine operating conditions, and especially the process of
compounding a mixture, is the air fuel ratio (AFR) . The emission of basic
toxic compounds is largely determined by the value of this ratio (Fig.1). If a
mixture allowing complete fuel combustion is produced in the supply system, it
is determined as stoichiometric mixture and referred to as = 1.0, whereas a
weak mixture is determined as the value > 1.0, and a rich mixture < 1.0.
Determination of the value of ratio, in addition to controlling the content of
other ingredients, enables to conclude a proper operation of the fuel supply
system.

ABSTRACT: The maintenance of vehicles generates high exhaust emissions
and particular attention should be paid to the reduction of their negative impact
on the natural environment. The paper presents selected solutions of electrical
ignition and electrical injection in the area of exhaust emissions research
conducted in real operational conditions of a vehicle. The paper described the
simulation model of characteristics ignition and injection elements influence on
exhaust emission from means of transport. The scope of investigations included
determining environmental parameters, such as the concentration of nitrogen
oxides NOx, carbon monoxide CO and carbon dioxide CO2 in exhaust gases.
Experimental tests were carried out on the test stand and real object. On the
basis of the obtained results, a diagnostic model which enables to recognize a
failure can be worked out. Keywords: exhaust fumes, injection systems, ignition
systems, combustion engine, On-board diagnostics (OBD) Obtaining adjustable
composition of mixture, where the exhaust fumes would contain least toxic
compounds, is difficult, because it leads to a compromise – it is not possible to
obtain the minimum values of all exhaust constituents. According to the
standards of the European Union, a car with spark and compression ignition
engine should meet the conditions of the content of toxic components in the
exhaust fumes
The emission standards of exhaust fumes for passenger cars according to the EU
[g/km]. The introduction of the requirements of standards of On-Board
Diagnostics (OBD) (Merkisz 2003, 2007, 2011, 2012, 2013, 2014) let to stricter
emission control systems of toxic components. OBD systems must be able to
recognize and record the wrong indications of systems associated with the
emission of toxic components of exhaust gases. The occurrence of damages
should be recorded and stored by the OBD system in the form of error codes.
Basic requirements of OBD include:
6
evaluation of catalyst performance by examination of the content of
hydrocarbons in the exhaust fumes,
control of the fuel feed system and exhaust gas recirculation system
The combustion of weak and layered mixtures definitely increases the tendency
of the engine to the occurrence of cycles without combustion. Due to the
increasing use of combustion systems of weak mixtures, early detection of lack
of combustion becomes extremely important. Lack of combustion is also
undesirable because of the content of unburnt hydrocarbons in the exhaust
fumes, which are burnt in the exhaust manifold and in the catalyst, possibly
leading to damage. The effect of the phenomenon is also a significant increase
in HC emissions (Chłopek 1999, Gronowicz 2003, Rokosch 2007).

(2018). The main purpose of this project is to control the movement of the
vehicle using voice commands. The command is sent using an Android
application connected to the robotic vehicle through a Bluetooth module. This
system contains a transmitter that converts analogue voice commands into
digital word sequences. The receiver MAX 232 transceiver is used to decode
the received signal for serial communication with the Bluetooth module.
Hans Tiwari and Ashish Jha. (2019) This project consists of an autonomous
vehicle controlled by specific voice commands defined for a specific action.
Alexa will be used to transmit voice commands to the car. The robotic car will
be able to move according to the commands given by the user, such as turn left,
turn right, move forward, move backward, stop.

controlled by the human voice. The prototype was developed using two
technologies, human-computer interaction (HCI) and human-robot interaction
(HRI). The project also includes the use of IOT and wireless camera.

(2017) The main objective of this project is to develop a robotic car that works
with human voice to reduce human effort in driving. The proposed system also
elaborates the use of AI sensors.
Shashanki Singh, Sumedha Tode, Rekha Takalkar, Prof. Dr. S. R. Patil They
have implemented the system to control applications like window motor, seat
motor, windshield wiper etc. They also use an Arduino to measure the fuel level
with a level sensor and all these applications are automatically controlled by
voice. M Saravanan developed an “Arduino-based voice-controlled robotic
vehicle” (October 2020) The main goal of this device is to develop a robotic
vehicle that can be controlled by a person's voice. These systems are commonly
referred to as voice-controlled automation systems (SCAS). The above device is
a prototype of our design. The concept is to build a robot that is controlled by
voice commands. A cell phone is used to operate the robot; there are several
articles demonstrating contact between a robot and a smartphone. For remote
automation of the robot, a smartphone is an excellent interface. It has a variety
of useful functions. In this design, the given task is performed using an Android
application and a microcontroller. Bluetooth technology facilitates
communication between the software and the robot. The module receives the
commands sent through the channel. The goal of a voice controlled robotic
vehicle (VCRV) is to listen and respond to the user's commands.
H. Jagadish Kumar wrote “Voice Controlled Car using Arduino and Bluetooth
Module” (December 2019). The goal of this report is to build a voice controlled
car that responds to voice commands. However, improvements in the areas of
interference and range handling are needed. Simple voice commands such as
"left," "right," "forward," "back," and "stop" are used to navigate the vehicle.
These signals are sent from an Android application to the Bluetooth module. A
Bluetooth module and a control device are used to record and analyse the voice
10
input. In this proposed method, different control configurations for robots have
been studied. It shows that real manuscripts can be effectively explored and
replicated by using only speech (human voice) as a means of control

PROBLEM DEFINITION

CHAPTER IV
PROBLEM DEFINITION
Keys have evolved greatly in the last century. A car is vulnerable if someone
has access to the keys. Keys do not provide a high level of security. Most cars
do not require the use of a traditional key.
i. Loss of connection with the engine control unit (ECU) One of the
most common problems with car keys is loss of connection with the
ECU. When you insert your key into the ignition switch, it normally
sends a unique code to the ECU. The system recognizes this code and
allows you to start the car. Unfortunately, problems can occur with
this system. In such cases, the system does not recognize the unique
code. This in turn results in the car not starting.
ii. Incorrect placement of the key This case occurs when you place your
key in the car and then lock it. Usually, it can be in the trunk or on the
driver’s seat. This problem gets worse if you have an extra key. But
that one is then also in the glove compartment. So you can’t access
both keys and have difficulty opening your car.
iii. Loss of the key In this case, the key is not damaged or defective.
Rather, the key is untraceable. Usually, this can happen in a number of
ways. For example, it may be that you have misplaced the key. Or that
someone has stolen it. Regardless of the circumstances, this is a
problem. As a rule, you will not be able to find your way to the car.
And even if you find it, you will not be able to start the car.
iv. Damage to the key There is no doubt that car keys are durable. For
example, they don’t break off or bend easily. However, that doesn’t
mean they are immune to damage. Yes, a car key can sometimes get
16
damaged. This is especially the case if you do not take the minimum
amount of care.

CHAPTER V
COMPONENT DESCRIPTION
Mutual Induction
Faraday’s Law
According to Faraday’s Law, any change in the magnetic field near the
coil or conductor leads to the production of an electromotive force (EMF) that is
induced inside the coil due to a change in magnetic flux.
19
Transformer Construction
Core
Winding
The voltage transformers are winded with wires called coils. Here, we use
wires with less resistance and good conductivity, which is required to get good
efficiency from the transformer.Generally, copper is used in transformer
winding as it has good electrical conductivity and very low resistance in
comparison to others. It is also not expensive like gold, silver, and platinum.
Transformer Working
20
When AC current is provided to the primary winding of the coil, a
magnetic flux is generated. Through the transformer core, the magnetic field
completes its path.As the secondary winding comes in contact with this
magnetic flux, an EMF is induced on it.The strength of the generated EMF
depends on the number of turns in the winding of the secondary coil.
ARDUINO UNO
The word "uno" means "one" in Italian and was chosen to mark a major
redesign of the Arduino hardware and software.The Uno board was the
successor of the Duemilanove release and was the 9th version in a series of
USB-based Arduino boards.[8] Version 1.0 of the Arduino IDE for the Arduino
Uno board has now evolved to newer releases.The ATmega328 on the board
comes preprogrammed with a bootloader that allows uploading new code to it
without the use of an external hardware programmer.
21
While the Uno communicates using the original STK500 protocol,[1] it differs
from all preceding boards in that it does not use a FTDI USB-to-UART serial
chip. Instead, it uses the Atmega16U2 (Atmega8U2 up to version R2)
programmed as a USB-to-serial converter.

FEATURES
Lower maintenance
Electronic ignition systems require less maintenance than other systems, which
can lead to cost savings and reduced downtime.
No moving parts
The electronic control unit (ECU) controls the electronic ignition system, which
eliminates the need for moving parts, enhancing its reliability and durability.
Reduced emissions
Since there are no mechanical points to wear out or become maladjusted, the
timing stays more precise, which results in improved fuel economy.
The use of an electronic switch means there are fewer moving parts than in a
breaker-point ignition system while still being relatively easy to diagnose and
repair. They can also provide a consistent, high voltage spark throughout the life
of the engine, meaning fewer misfires

CONCLUSION
This project was conducted to provide more safety for the cars by providing
electronic controlled ignition. In this project, The ignition is controlled by
electronic commands.These commands are sent to the ESP8266 12E through
the path created by the ESP01 router module and acts accordingly.All the
components are integrated on a single PCB to achieve compactness and good
performance. This study has achieved the goals set at the beginning of the
evaluation and is attractive because it is convienient and ergonomic to the user.
Although the developed prototype still has limitations and shortcomings, but
these limitations can be modified in the future for other applications such as
unlocking the vehicle and accessing the luxuries in the vehicle such as air
conditioner , music controller etc.
