A Development of Smart Methane Gas Device Detector for Vehicle

Abstract

This research study is to design a solution for methane gas leaks from the NGV tanks. Methane gas detection projects main idea is to implement security system for detecting leakage of gas in closed environment. In this project gas leakage is identified by using sensors which works only in closed environment. In present situation there are many cases related to gas leakage which cause innocent people lives and property damage. Implementing this application can be useful in vehicles that use Natural Gas which can save lives of people. The aim of this project is to monitor for Methane gas in Natural Gas Vehicle (NGV) leakage to avoid fire accidents providing vehicle safety feature where security has been an important issue. The system detects the leakage of the NGV using gas sensor and alerts the consumer about the gas leakage by sending alarm notification. The proposed system uses the Android Smartphone feature of receiving data from Bluetooth module to alert the person about the gas leakage. When the system detects the Natural Gas concentration in the air exceeds the certain level then it immediately alert the consumer by sending notification to specified paired Android Smartphone and alert the people in the vehicle by activating the alarm which includes the LCD, Buzzer and simultaneously solenoid pop open a small window to release the leak gasses.
