ABSTRACT

This research paper outlines the design, development, and testing of an IoT-based Drive-By-Wire (DBW) system for an electric All-Terrain Vehicle (ATV). The system replaces traditional mechanical throttle, braking, and steering linkages with electronic controls, enhancing control precision, adaptability, and safety in dynamic off-road conditions. A Manual/Automatic switching feature allows seamless transition between manual and electronic control modes. The DBW system employs Jetson Nano as the central processing unit and integrates Socket.IO for real-time communication. Four Arduino microcontrollers are utilized: one for throttle control, one for brake control, one for steering control, and a dedicated Mega Arduino for data acquisition and feedback from various sensors. Comprehensive validation tests demonstrate the system's functionality, reliability, and significant potential for improving off-road electric vehicle performance.
