Embedded Technology For Vehicle Cabin Safety Monitoring And Alerting System ABSTRACT Motor vehicles are the prime source of transportation where vehicles with A/C play a major part. This paper designs an embedded system for a vehicle cabin‚ which senses the gases like carbon-monoxide and oxygen and displayed at each and every second. If the level of the CO increases than the normal level (30ppm) or the level of the oxygen decreases than the normal level (19%) then an alarm is generated automatically

Electric cars look very different under the hood than a gasoline-powered car. For one thing‚ there is a lot less tubing. For another‚ if you look underneath the hood of an electric car‚ one of the first things you will probably notice is the controller‚ which takes energy from the battery and distributes it to the motor in controlled packets. And that’s pretty much it in a nutshell. Instead of a gas tank‚ the electric car keeps its fuel in a battery and relies on the controller‚ not the distributor

Electric Cars vs Gasoline Powered Cars Electricity. One word that can rescue the earth from its current demise‚ global warming. Since 1880‚ global warming has increased by 0.8° celsius which may not seem like a substantial increase but it is. According to (NASA 2014) the average weather changes everyday in different countries‚ but this is the entire world’s average temperature. A 1° global change is significant because it takes a colossal amount of heat to warm all the oceans‚ atmosphere‚ and land

Hybrid cars are better than traditional cars because they are environmentally safe. Sandra Ariskan explains that “Hybrid car will generate much less gasoline combustion and emission of CO2 is therefore significantly minimized ” (Hybrid Car‚ an Effort to Safe the Planet par. 4). Basically Sandra Ariskan is saying that by minimizing the CO2 from the air than your protecting everything that is going extinct and safer for everyone and for the future. This means that the engine that comes with a hybrid
