Abstract

Data collection system is one powerful device for acquiring the information of the current state of the system. If any system has to take any decision it requires the information of the current state of the complete system.In this paper, low-cost data collection system has been designed for a two-wheeler. This is done by using an Arduino platform with hall-effect sensor, throttle position sensor, clutch position and brake position sensor mounted on the test vehicle. The main objective of the study is to create a data logger system for a two-wheeler which can give the signal to the vehicle controller for further purpose. This data can be used for deciding the control strategy for the vehicle that can help in gear shift schedule in an Automated Manual Transmission (AMT) vehicle. An experimental setup is designed to acquire the above parameters and the results are plotted. The clutch position sensor and gear position sensor are designed separately to get the exact clutch depression and gear position. Our objective is to make a data logger system which gives all the data from above listed sensors. The vehicular data is obtained by driving the vehicle in normal road conditions and with zero road gradients. This acquisition system can easily be mounted on any two-wheeler with very fewer modifications in the sensor. Shift schedule for a selected vehicle is generated using GT-SUIT software.
