Diseño de un sistema de alerta oportuna para CO en un automóvil con técnicas de monitoreo y control para el bloqueo del motor en un vehículo

Abstract

In this study, the design and development of an advanced warning and control system for the timely detection of dangerous levels of carbon monoxide (CO) inside the vehicle is presented. Carbon monoxide is a colorless, odorless toxic gas that can pose significant risks to human health, especially in closed environments such as the cabin of a car. The proposed system is tested in the cabin of a Suzuki brand vehicle model Grand vitara sz engine 2.0, highly sensitive CO sensors strategically located in the vehicle with an internal combustion engine are used to continuously monitor the concentration of this gas. If critical levels of CO are detected, the system activates an immediate alert to notify the driver and occupants of the potential danger. The alert is carried out through clearly distinguishable visual and sound signals to guarantee a quick and effective response. This system goes beyond simple alerts and presents an additional control mechanism to address the emergency. An engine lockout function is implemented that activates automatically when critical CO levels are reached. This engine lock is intended to prevent continued operation of the vehicle in hazardous conditions, thereby reducing the risk of prolonged exposure to toxic gas. The system design is based on advanced monitoring, control and communication technologies, ensuring an efficient and accurate response to emergencies. In addition, the integration of this system with the infrastructure of modern vehicles has been considered, allowing remote updates and facilitating its adoption in the automotive industry. This measure not only protects occupants by interrupting exposure to toxic gas, but also integrates with remote communication systems to inform emergency services and designated contacts. Altogether, this design seeks to improve vehicle safety by providing a timely and effective response to the CO threat.
