  3. EXISTING SYSTEM

    Traditionally, safety monitoring and automation systems were typically designed to meet the requirements of a single monitoring application. The EV application has already gone beyond the interconnection of a few large back-end systems, and more and more underground physical devices

    make the state of objects and their surroundings seamlessly accessible to software systems. As a matter of fact, most works are based on monolithic system architectures, which are brittle and difficult to adapt.

    The existing systems for early fire detection in electric vehicle (EV) batteries typically rely on traditional methods such as thermal sensors or voltage monitoring systems. While these systems may provide some level of monitoring, they often lack the advanced capabilities necessary for early detection and proactive risk mitigation.

    Traditional thermal sensors, for instance, are limited in their ability to detect subtle changes in temperature that may precede a fire incident. Similarly, voltage monitoring systems may only trigger alerts after a significant deviation from normal operating parameters, potentially leading to delayed responses.

    Moreover, existing systems often operate in isolation, lacking the integration and real- time data analysis capabilities afforded by machine learning and Internet of Things (IoT) technology. This fragmentation can result in gaps in monitoring coverage and limited ability to detect complex patterns indicative of fire risks.

    Overall, the existing systems for early fire detection in EV batteries fall short in terms of providing comprehensive and proactive safety measures.
