This paper describes the work that has been done in the design and development of a wireless on-board diagnostic system (OBD II) fleet management system. The system aims to measure speed, distance, and fuel consumption of vehicles for tracking and analysis purposes. An OBD II reader is designed to measure speed and mass air flow, from which the distance and fuel consumption are also computed. This data is then transmitted via WiFi to a remote server. The system also implements global positioning system tracking to determine the location of the vehicle. A database management system is implemented at the remote server for the storage and management of transmitted data and a graphical user interface is developed for analysing the transmitted data. Various qualification tests are conducted to verify the functionality of the system. The results demonstrate that the system is capable of reading the various parameters, and can successfully process, transmit, and display the readings.
A system for verification of engine information and diagnosis of engine malfunction using a Bluetooth OBD II scanner was developed in @cite_1 . An Android device was used to receive the measured or diagnostic data. The system mainly focused on defining a protocol that enabled transmitting and receiving of OBD II data from multiple sensors simultaneously. This study focused on real-time diagnosis of the engine condition, and data was only made available to the driver of the vehicle.

This study implemented a mobile diagnosing system that provides user-centered interfaces for more precisely estimating and diagnosing engine conditions through communications with the self-developed ECU only for industrial CRDI engine use. For the implemented system, a new protocol was designed and applied based on OBD-II standard to receive engine data values of the developed ECU. The designed protocol consists of a message structure to request data transmission from a smartphone to ECU and a response message structure for ECU to send data to a smartphone. It transmits 31 pieces of engine condition information simultaneously and sends the trouble diagnostic code. Because the diagnostic system enables real-time communication through modules, the engine condition information can be checked at any time. Thus, because when troubles take place on the engine, users can check them right away, quick response and resolution are possible, and stable system management can be expected. AbstractOrdinarily, a driver knows the current driving state of a vehicle through the On Board Diagnosis-II (OBD-II) data. Lately convenience devices related to real-time vehicle control and driving information data have been using OBD-II from the vehicle network.However, when these devices receive vehicle data rom the OBD-II network, each device receives its own information separately using its own vehicle network. If the driver changes the product and OBD-II connector to use OBD-II, the driver also changes the OBD-II connector. As a result, the driver spends useless money for the product and vehicle to use OBD-II.In this paper, we implemented integrating an OBD-II connector that uses Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, and WCDMA modules to overcome the above disadvantage. The increasing activity in the Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS) area faces a strong limitation: the slow pace at which the automotive industry is making cars "smarter". On the contrary, the smartphone industry is advancing quickly. Existing smartphones are endowed with multiple wireless interfaces and high computational power, being able to perform a wide variety of tasks. By combining smartphones with existing vehicles through an appropriate interface we are able to move closer to the smart vehicle paradigm, offering the user new functionalities and services when driving. In this paper we propose an Android-based application that monitors the vehicle through an On Board Diagnostics (OBD-II) interface, being able to detect accidents. Our proposed application estimates the G force experienced by the passengers in case of a frontal collision, which is used together with airbag triggers to detect accidents. The application reacts to positive detection by sending details about the accident through either e-mail or SMS to pre-defined destinations, immediately followed by an automatic phone call to the emergency services. Experimental results using a real vehicle show that the application is able to react to accident events in less than 3 seconds, a very low time, validating the feasibility of smartphone based solutions for improving safety on the road. With the rapid development of the smartphone market, future cars seem to have more connections with intelligent cell phone and Internet. Intelligent transportation system (ITS) and telematics system have become research focus in recent years. There is an increasing demand for remote monitoring and diagnostic system as the further research of hybrid electric vehicle (HEV) goes on. In this paper, a remote controller area network bus (CAN-Bus) data monitor and diagnostic system for HEV is presented using on board diagnostic version-II (OBD-II) and Android-based smartphone. It is low-cost, convenient, and extensible with smartphone used in the system to realize communication with ELM327 and remote monitoring center wirelessly. The prototype of client and server is developed in Java language, and it is proved by the test that the system works stably and the collected data have practical values.
