Microcontroller Integration in an Automated Power Window Circuit System for Automobile Air Conditioning

Abstract

Research depicts that vehicular accident is inevitable, especially during long-distance driving journeys due to occurrence such as dehydration and discomfort owing to the inadequate or poor operating performance of car airconditioning systems which can result in loss of the driver’s attention on the road. However, the aforementioned research gap or problem needs to be addressed to ensure the efficient operation of the car air-conditioning system to avert vehicular accidents. Hence, the goal of this research is to utilize a microcontroller to automatically control the car airconditioning system to ensure enhanced operating performance. Moreover, the key merit of this research is to assist drivers by preventing them from losing attention on the road due to a phenomenon such as dehydration and discomfort, especially, during long-distance driving journeys, which can cause vehicular accidents. Besides, another imperative component of this research is to automatically control, thus closing the vehicle’s window louvre once the air conditioner is in operation or turned on to ensure efficient utilization of energy (fuel) of the vehicle and ensure that the ambience in the vehicle is pretty comfortable for the passengers on board. The automated power window system is comprehensively verified by the proteus software. Nonetheless, the results via the simulation depict that the automated power window circuit considered in this paper can effectively and automatically close the vehicle’s window louvre once the air conditioner is turned on.
