Abstract: The paper portrays the execution of a model framework utilized for effective constant information securing, motor warming and
blockage of fuel pipe. Legitimate vehicle observing and support can spare time, cash and enhance the possession encounter. Our framework
takes a shot at Arduino and IoT stage used to separate different parameters like motor warming and blockage in fuel pipe and so forth for
protected and cautious driving. The information is sent to IoT which can be checked both by vehicle producer through distributed computing and
proprietor of the vehicle by the android application. The equipment unit comprises of Arduino, WI-FI module, android based portable and
distinctive parameter checking sensors module.

I. INTRODUCTION BLOCK DIAGRAM

This paper is about IoT and Telemetry based
vehicle health monitoring system. Vehicles needs repair
after a certain interval of time and if are not repaired at fixed
intervals it can lead to loss of life of the person driving the
vehicle or travelling on it. The objective of the project is to
notify the owner about the excessive heating of the engine or
the blockage in fuel pipe. A temperature sensor is employed
in the engine that warns the owner about overheating of
engine and a flow sensor is used that senses the proper flow
of fuel in the pipe. This helps in proper monitoring of
vehicle. If the vehicles are monitored the reliability of
vehicles increases, service capacity and efficiency of
maintenance and operations of vehicles improves, operating
and maintenance cost reduces and reduces troubleshooting
by almost half.
The information to the internet is sent through a This project comprises of both the hardware
