Design and implementation of an automatic management system for vehicles using the Android platform

This paper describes the design and implementation of a system responsible of the automotive monitoring and diagnosis of a vehicle using the standard OBDII (On Board Diagnostics), a mobile application on the Android Platform and the implementation of a Web server developed using PHP (Hypertext Preprocessor). For the development a mobile terminal Samsung Galaxy ACE, a vehicle Kia Rio R 2013 and an BAFX OBDII Bluetooth communication device were used. Also a fault code simulator was implemented to allow the system´s testing without the need of a real connection with the vehicle.
