Speed Control of Vehicle in Accident Zone

Abstract

In today’s world increase in population and life standards of people leading to rapid increment in the density of vehicles with enhanced speed and extra features. The craze in drivers makes them to drive the vehicles in high speed in all the regions (school zones, hospitals, bus stops etc.). The number of accidents is increasing due to which people are losing life and may be leading to permanent disabilities. In order to avoid all these problems the government authorities has taken several necessary steps like, sign boards, wearing helmet, speed humps etc. The rules and regulations are not effectively followed or not been observed by the drivers. If there is a system that intimates the driver about the rules and also control the vehicle in these sensitive areas. In this paper implementation of the system is proposed using two methods such as RF communication and Geo-fencing. The proposed system is an attempt to control the speed of the vehicle. The system is designed with software and hardware to intimate the driver about the speed of the area in which the vehicle is currently located. The main focus of this work is to provide safety and precaution to the driver as well as to the passengers and to avoid the accidents. In RF communication method RF transmitter is placed at accident zones and RF receiver placed in the vehicle will communicate using electromagnetic waves. The microcontroller is the brain of the system that activates the particular action corresponding to the received signal (represents the speed limit of the area). The implementation part is done by using geo-fencing technology to overcome from the drawbacks which are encountered in RF technology. Geo-fencing is a virtual geographical boundary defined by GPS that activate software solution when the device is tracked. Geo-fencing delivers the range of efficiency, utilization and safety benefits.
