ABSTRACT

In-vehicle Infotainment (IVI) is a system that provides convenience for driver and passengers in a vehicle. The system has various applications that fulfill one need. In order to enrich the system, an application named Travel Cost Calculator (ICC) has been developed.

ICC is an application that calculates the mileage between two locations, fuel cost estimation and toll fare that user has to pay. This application is built on Intel e-Menlow platform that is based on Intel Atom processor. ICC is implemented by using the Google Maps Application Programming Interface (API), Adobe Flash Builder, Hypertext Preprocessor (PHP) and MySQL database. In order to achieve the total up cost of a journey, the programming has to be done part by part. The driving direction approach is used to obtain the mileage between two locations. For the fuel cost estimation, the vehicle's mileage per gallon (MPG) needs to be known. It can be chosen from the car engine size (cc) options. Last but not least, the total toll fare could be achieved by using the automatic detection of toll station approach Findings from these three parts will give the estimation of the total travel cost.

ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS

First of all, I would like to thank Allah the Almighty who has given me strength and blessings to complete my two semesters of Final Year Project. The utmost gratitude goes to my supervisor, Dr. Noohul Basheer Bin Zain Ali for his continuous guidance and support throughout my project. I would also like to give appreciation to Mr. Hau Tze-ming who has been a great teacher, and helping me getting through many challenges during this project.

Besides that, I would like to thank Universiti Teknologi PETRONAS (UTP), especially the Electrical and Electronics Engineering Department whereby students are given the opportunity to experience doing research or design work. It is an opportunity for us, students to use the tools and techniques for problem-solving. Furthermore, the learning process is gained through hands-on experience. Last but not least, thank you to all my fellow friends and family for their love and support, I have successfully completed my Final Year Project.
