Road accidents are the most common
phenomenon that occurs quite often. Most of the lethal
accidents that take place are due to over speeding. An
increase in speed may multiply the risk of accident and
danger of injury during an accident. So, to reduce this
hitch our group has come up with a project that aims to
control the speed of vehicles automatically in the
restricted area. In the recent studies, on the IoT-based
topic, it has been observed that accidents near the zones
like hospitals and schools have increased enormously,
because of their lack of impatience to reach their desired
place soon. Therefore controlling the speed of the vehicle
has been a key issue to be considered. We through this
IoT-based project, we are aiming to provide an
uncomplicated design that can control vehicle speed,
which can be installed in zones like school/college,
hospital, sharp turnings to reduce the number of
accidents from happening. This Automatic Speed
Controlling System is built using the Microcontrollerbased platform of the Arduino Uno R3 board. Here, the
microcontroller is programmed in such a way that, the
imposed speed limit is integrated with the transmitter
unit which transmits the signals using an antenna, and is
received by the receiver incorporated inside the vehicle.
Alongside the Microcontroller, RF (Radio Frequency)
module is also used for sending and receiving the signals.
There are two types of RF module, RF transmitter and
RF receiver. RF transmitter is placed near the restricted
zones and RF receiver is placed inside the vehicle. The
speed of the vehicle is then compared and controlled by
the Microcontroller.
