What instrumentation do you think I should install in my Yellow Jeep for its long journey?
Here are some of the sensors that I have considered:
- Engine monitoring – via On Board Diagnostic (OBD) port
- tire pressure
- location – GPS coordinates
- internal temperature
- external temperature
- light intensity
- video – forward, reverse, left, right, driver, passenger, roaming camera
- audio – multiple microphones
- driver ID
- passenger ID(s)
- velocity
- acceleration
- yaw, pitch, roll
- altitude
- air pressure
- humidity
Some human input that may be appropriate in the Jeep includes
- audio/video/text comments
- ongoing journal
- still/video camera, independent of vehicle
These are just a few of the hundreds of possibilities. Â It will be fun to sort through these possibilities and select a subset for test purposes.
A friend suggested that fingerprint sensors should be added for identification of the driver and passengers.
What suggestions might you have?
Roll on Yellow Jeep Journey!
