On-board vehicle health monitoring system for wheel loaders

Wheel Loaders are heavy earth movers used for rugged real-time works like Construction, mining, Carrying, Demolition, Excavation and Hauling. Wheel Loaders have only conventional and analog control panels and indicators to monitor the vehicle´s engine parameters. The earth mover operators face the problems of using these control panels. This project proposes a solution for the above problem by developing a sophisticated digital display in order to display both text and graphical symbols. The Digital displays are controlled by microcontrollers which analyze the transducer values and provide summarized and efficient parameters to the control panel with high resolution. This would enhance the operation of Wheel loaders in terms of ease-of-use, lane keeping, efficiency, safety and productivity.
