The School of Telecommunications at the Polytechnic University of Cartagena yesterday hosted the presentation of two Jobs Final Project Race and completing, with another TFG presented in July at the Industrial School, the development of a telemetry system for monitoring time Real multiple vehicle sensors Racing Moto UPCT team.
Celestino López Jiménez, and graduate in Engineering of Industrial Technologies, and María Belén Pérez Muñoz and Pedro José Conesa Sanchez, who finalized respectively titles Telecommunication Systems and Telecommunication Engineering, have developed, coordinated by professors José María Molina and Javier García-Pardo Garrigós Guerrero, a telemetry system that allows you to collect, transmit, and display on the map of a circuit, in real time, all the data that determine the performance of a racing bike from the engine temperature the position, inclination, speed and acceleration or deceleration of the vehicle.
"The system aims to emulate what is done in the pits during races Formula 1 or MotoGP: monitor all parameters of the vehicle while driving to be able to fix bugs instantly," explains Javier Garrigós, Department of Electronics, Computer Technology and Projects.
The TFG Celestino López focused on the design of an electronic device based on the Arduino platform capable of performing real-time telemetry via the Internet with 3G + GPS technology, previously developed optimal acquisition and packaging data for transmission over efficient.
"The use of this widely popular platform simplifies development and reduces costs compared with other specific developments," continues Garrigós.
The next stage of the project developed María Belén Pérez, creating a system of two-way transmission of data in real time through a base multisystem (2G, 3G and 4G) station for coverage without relying on the operators, "which has potential applications outside of the circuit to provide an independent mobile network from the public network, "the director of the work, José María Molina.
Finally, the student Pedro José Conesa has developed software that stores telemetry data received from the bike and illustrated in real time on Google Earth maps based on the GPS position of the vehicle at all times.
The program thus allows a simple interpretation of the data and its evolution also allows export to spreadsheets and other files for later use.
"This software is usable by all racing teams that use the same encoding," observes Molina, Department of Information Technology and Communications.
The three students have been in contact with students who make up the team Moto UPCT for parameters that needed monitoring.
UPCT Moto is one of three racing teams available to the Polytechnic University of Cartagena and international dispute challenge Student Moto universities.
