Development of telemetry system for electric powered vehicle

Wireless electronic telemetry system is designed for prototype electric powered agricultural vehicle. Telemetry system is crucial for electric vehicles to monitor its data, remotely. It is important to measure electrical parameters in real time for safe operation. Designed telemetry system consists of hardware and software which can broadcast information by using wireless connection over serial communication protocol. Wireless connection range is up to 3 km which is sufficient for using at orchards. The designed data acquisition and telemetry system is based on RF modem. Graphical user interface is also written by using C# and Visual Basic programming languages for monitoring device features easily from groun station. Vehicle speed, voltage levels and temperature of battery packs, drawing current, total power usage and remained battery power can be monitored by this system.
