Electro-Mechanical Smart Switch system using IoT

– The development of electric vehicles (EVs) has been a major focus of the automotive industry for many years. As technology continues to progress, more and more use cases are popping up that require intelligent control over how an EV interacts with its environment. [1] This research paper investigates how Arduino shows potential as a technology platform to enable smart Switching of electric vehicles. It investigates the current solutions and their limitation and discusses how integration of microcontroller’s intelligence with sensing, communication and actuation capabilities can enable more efficient and secure car ignition. The combination of Electrical and mechanical technologies allows for increased levels of convenience and security. Furthermore, this research will propose an optimal approach for using an IoT powered system on cars to enhance the security of their locks and provide enhanced protection from unauthorized access. Finally, future research directions are suggested which could lead to a more integrated approach when implementing such systems.
