The system is divided into three separate sections, as shown in Figure3.1viz Black Box, IoT Device, and AWS Environment. A black box will always be present in the car. It is implemented using a CAN shield (PiCAN2) and a Raspberry pi 3b+. Raspberry pi does not have a CAN interface. So, a CAN shield is used as a gateway module to interface CAN protocol from OBD-ii port and the SPI protocol of the Raspberry pi 3b+. This is discussed in Subsection3.1.3. The Raspberry pi 3b+ is programmed to fetch the speed, timestamp, and accelerator pedal position data from OBD-ii port and store it in a log file. IoT devices can request this data from a black-box whenever necessary. A black box will read the data only when the car is in motion. The vehicle data is sampled at one sample per second. A black box will share only the latest 1200 samples of vehicle data with the IoT device i.e., past 20 minutes before the vehicle came to a standstill.

Stop breadboarding and soldering – start making immediately! Adafruit’s Circuit Playground is jam-packed with LEDs, sensors, buttons, alligator clip pads and more. Build projects with Circuit Playground in a few minutes with the drag-and-drop MakeCode programming site, learn computer science using the CS Discoveries class on code.org, jump into CircuitPython to learn Python and hardware together, TinyGO, or even use the Arduino IDE. Circuit Playground Express is the newest and best Circuit Playground board, with support for CircuitPython, MakeCode, and Arduino. It has a powerful processor, 10 NeoPixels, mini speaker, InfraRed receive and transmit, two buttons, a switch, 14 alligator clip pads, and lots of sensors: capacitive touch, IR proximity, temperature, light, motion and sound. A whole wide world of electronics and coding is waiting for you, and it fits in the palm of your hand.
