Abstract

Internet of Things (IoT) is considered to be the backbone of forth industrial revolution. It seeks to create a network of physical objects/processes, omnipresent sensors and computer systems, so as to provide a smart solution to day to day problems by bridging gap between real and information world. Reducing of mechanical vibrations and shocks generated is one of the major challenges in automobile industry. Whole-body vibrations (WBV) are the most serious of all the vibrations. Continuous exposure to these vibrations not only adversely effects human health, but also decreases durability and fuel economy of automobiles. Longer the exposure, greater will be the effect on health. Musculoskeletal disorders (WMSD) like Low Back Pain (LBP), fatigue and numbness of muscles, joint pain etc., are some of the disorders caused by these vibrations. To avoid long-term health risks associated with WBV, vibrations generated in automobiles need to be accurately measured and analyzed. The aim of this paper is to develop a cost effective easy and user friendly sensor for the purpose of frequent monitoring of the excessive vibrations produced in vehicles. This project consists of active experiments conducted on selected structural elements of bike, car and bus. The observations were made in all the three orthogonal axes for different constant rotational velocity (gears), using an arduino based accelerometer.
