Diseño e implementación de un prototipo para el control y tarifación del servicio de taxi a través de sensores inerciales.

Abstract

A prototype was developed for the control and pricing of the taxi service using inertial sensors. It was analyzed the different technologies for the desing and implementation of the prototype using the Heuristic method. The prototype was implemented in five stages, the first was selected devices that meet the functionality specifications such as the MPU 60 – 50 module and the Arduino UNO board, the second was calibrated from the MPU 60 – 50 module, where values are set in initials of operation from the location where it will be used, in the third the software was designed for the interaction between the Arduino board and the module. The design of the program has a 24h clock function that allows to verify the type of modality that is going to rate, the calculation of the distance traveled by the vehicle with the data of the acceleration provided by the module and the acceleration time of the vehicle, the method used in Formula One was used for this calculation. The waiting time that accurs while the vehicle is stopped, it is when the sensor does not send data so it initializes a times for the timeout and has an extra monetary cost. The fourth stage is the desing of the housing in SolidWorks, once the prototype was assembled the MPU 60 – 50 were installed in the lower part of the vehicle and the rate on the inside without hindering the visibility of the driver. The tests and results analyzed allowed checking the functionality and efficiency of the prototype wiht an error margin of 1.63% in the rate marked compared to the comercial device. For the prototype to work properly, it should be taken into account that it should not exceed the speed of 50km/h.
