Abstract
A vehicle cabin air quality monitor using carbon monoxide (CO) and oxygen (O2) gas sensors has been designed, developed and on-road tested. The continuous monitoring of oxygen and carbon monoxide provides added vehicle safety as alarms could be set off when dangerous gas concentrations are reached, preventing driver fatigue, drowsiness, and exhaust gas suicides. CO concentrations of 30 ppm and oxygen levels lower than 19.5% were experienced whilst driving.
