Quanitfy your car. There's a lot of data being collected automatically in modern cars already, and the plan is to gather that data, and make it useful (maybe).

Data Sources

OBD

OBD stands for On-Board diagnostics [1]. It should allow us to gather a lot of information via a standarized format, called OBD-2, or EOBD (the European equivalent). There are OBD-2 connectors in most modern cars, and adapters for bluetooth or USB readily available.

I have ordered a [OBD-2 Bluetooth Adapter http://www.ebay.de/itm/-/261257366751] on ebay, so we'll wee how well this works.

GPS

With a GPS receiver, we can link the data we gather to a specific location.

Camera

Add a camera?

Hardware

  • Raspberry Pi
  • OBD-2 adapter (bluetooth? USB?)
  • Wifi -> upload data, via tethering or when at home near to a known access point
  • GPS adapter
