Abstract: Pastushok R.I, Salo A.M. (head). A computer system for self-service car wash remote monitoring. - Lviv Polytechnic National University, Lviv, 2020. Extended annotation. As of today, self-service car washes have become widespread in Europe, and in particular in Ukraine. This is primarily due to the climate and condition of roads. These reasons force car owners to wash their cars quite often. There are the following ways out of this situation: wash the car somewhere in the yard or go to the car wash. Each of these options has its drawbacks. For the first - it is a waste of their own time, as well as mostly poor result, for the second - it’s long queues, high fees, the possibility of damage from a clumsy sink worker, and more). [2] An alternative to these options are self-service car washes, which belong to vending cyberphysical systems. The main advantages of which are: convenience and lower price compared to conventional sinks. Car owners pay a much smaller amount, but at the same time receive all the necessary equipment and conditions to wash their car efficiently and quickly [4]. Cyber-physical systems are systems that combine advances in various fields of science, such as automation, computer networks, metrology, information security, computing, and more. Vending systems combine sensors, special equipment, measuring systems, monitoring systems, etc. Cyberphysical (Vendino) systems interact with each other using standard Internet protocols for forecasting, remote configuration and automated monitoring. [1] In the cyberphysical control system of self-service car washes, one of the main systems is the monitoring system. This system allows you to quickly capture hardware problems that occur during the operation of the devices. Error codes detected during the operation of the machine are transmitted to the server. This allows the administrator to quickly identify the problem and make a quick decision to solve it. This system also allows you to check the connection with the machines, send to the server a message about the end of the ingredients at the posts [3]. The object of the research is vending cyberphysical systems with the possibility of remote monitoring: functional blocks of the system, the general condition of the system, transactions, as well as resources or ingredients. The subject of the work is the study of remote monitoring systems for the use of self-service car wash stations. The purpose of the study is to analyze the main ways to implement the monitoring module, the element base on the basis of which this module will be implemented, the solution of which is more rational and cost-effective to implement this type of system. And also to make a reliable server and database for processing and storage of data received from the monitoring module. This paper considers ready-made remote monitoring systems in this area. Their comparative analysis is made, the main advantages and disadvantages of existing analogues of this system are defined. Various methods of realization of the monitoring module of this system are offered. One of them has been developed, namely a monitoring module based on a microcontroller, as well as a server for receiving information from this module and transmitting it to customers and operators.
