CarKnow's Cloud platform addresses difficulty accessing vehicle diagnostic information by providing hardware and software to simplify capturing, using, and reacting to sensor data. The CarKnow “CARduino” device is a GSM bridge between in-vehicle Controller Area Networks, on-device GPS and motion sensors, and a web platform leveraging MIT’s “CloudThink” object mirroring architecture.
Weight reduction is now the main issue in automobile industries. Weight reduction can be achieved primarily by the introduction of better material, design optimization and better manufacturing processes. The automobile industry has shown increased interest in the replacement of steel spring with fiberglass composite leaf spring due to high strength to weight ratio.
Passenger car engines are sized to produce very high horsepower to suit the consumer’s demand for drivability and performance. Unfortunately, engines run most efficiently at high load conditions and very inefficiently at the low loads where they spend most of their time. This results in poor fuel economy and high CO2 emissions.

Electric car owners sometimes need to make a longer distance trip than the electric range will allow. Camping trips are often taken taken across country. Long distance truckers travel hundreds of miles.
People just want to take trips without getting tired at their destination.
Nowadays luxury comes at a higher price. This concept is based on the principle that in soft suspension systems, there is a time gap between the instances the shock experienced by the tires and that shock being transmitted to the body of the car.
The main objective of this project is to determine the characteristics of accidents involving vehicle submersion and to overcome these characters to save the human life.
This can be made possible by designing a vehicle along with a hull beneath it, in such a way, that it overcomes the upright buoyancy force and prevents the vehicle from submersion.
Summary of the project:
This project is initiated to facilitate the physically challenged persons by both hands and legs. They can ride this vehicle and earn money which will be helpful for their survival. The vehicle is a three wheeler because three wheeler requires less effort for steering when compared to four wheeler.
The accuracy of multi dimensional simulation of vehicle dynamics has been significantly increased for both passive and active vehicles which are equipped with advanced electronic components. Recently, one of the subjects that has been considered is increasing the car safety in design. Therefore, many efforts have been made to increase vehicle stability especially during the turn.
Problem:- We all know that the electric vehicles are more efficient than the oil burning vehicles. They make less noise and are pollution free. But electric vehicles are not frequently used in day to day life.
Reasons:
1. One cannot use electric vehicles on the go. He/she has to stop for some time to charge the batter .
BDCOTSRUS, Inc, is a 501(c)(3) corporation. We want to promote a design for personal transportation that is safe, environmentally friendly, fuel efficient, and cost effective. We believe that a car that achieves one-hundred miles per-gallon does not need to be prototypical because the technology is currently available. Towards that end, we use off-the–
