Automatic Car Seat Adjustment – ACSA

Abstract

In this world where everyone is preoccupied with their daily work routine, no one has time for minor stuff. Among all that, the most important and close to our heart is the car we own. We use the car for our transportation, so it is an essential part of almost everyone’s life. As car is our daily accessory we utilize for traveling, the major concern is regarding comfort while sitting. The issue our project is addressing arises when we get inside the car and the seat is not auto adjusted according to our requirements. As a fact that someone in the family might have driven the car before. Everyone has their own driving style and their unique comfort zone. This issue is faced by almost everyone and it gets frustrating at every time you get inside the car. An incorrect seat adjustment may lead to many consequences such as mental, physical issues along with driving issues. In order to overcome this problem, we have developed a system that helps the user to adjust their seat with a click of a button. To use this system the user just needs to install an app on their Android phone to help them in this basic seating problem. This system works in two modules; the hardware and the application. In the application we let the user to create their own personalized account which saves their preferred seat position and adjustments. This profile is saved online and it stores two settings parameters that are (recline and distance). The user will press a button and the setting will be communicated via Bluetooth to the hardware module of the system, This will in return manipulate the motors according to the settings being sent. In future if the user feels the need to change the seat adjustment, they can easily do that. They just need to select their new settings and save them, and their respective seat adjustment will be saved online. So, whenever they get in the car and press the “Set” button their updated settings will be used to adjust the seat. An application point of view to prolong this project in future we can incorporate this project with any smart chair in workplaces as well. This functionality can also be embedded utilized in smart wheelchair adjustments.
