VEHICLE SPEED LIMIT CONTROLLING SYSTEM

Abstract

As far as automobiles are concerned, safety is very important to reduce the occurrence of
accidents in speed restricted zones. It minimizes the loss of property and life. According to the
recent surveys, in the past few years, an accident near the school zones, hospital zones and sharp
turnings have increased tremendously, because of their hurry to get the targeted place soon.
Therefore controlling vehicle speed has been a crucial issue to be considered. This project aims
to give a practical, compact and simple design to develop an automatic vehicle speed control
system, which has to be quickly get implemented in areas near school, college, hospital, sharp
turning zones to reduce the number of accidents. This automated speed controlling system is
built using the microcontroller-based platform of the Arduino Uno board. Here the Arduino is
programmed in such a way that, the prescribed speed limit was incorporated in the transmitter
unit which transmits the signals, and it was received by the receiver in the vehicle using Zigbee
wireless communication technology and the speed of the vehicle was automatically controlled by
the input signals by the receiver, with the help of speed encoder sensor. Once this technique was
implemented the accidents will be reduced on a larger rate, and also reduce the nuisance by some
drivers.

Introduction

The Indian Law Commission has an advisory to limit the speed at critical zones, to reduce the
road accidents and to make a peaceful environment for the people. The existing methodologies
can’t able to reduce the accidents still now, Because of the rash driving of some drivers. Hence
speed control is in need to be implemented in all the vehicles. Here is the new idea of ours to
install an automated speed control system in the vehicles mainly in the restricted areas. Here
setup device as a transmitter where the multiple devices are combined to monitor the speed of the
vehicle when the vehicle enters above the prescribed speed and controls it by placing a receiver
at the vehicles, based on the signals transmitted the speed of the vehicle get reduced by
interfacing a microcontroller. The current speed of the vehicle is sensed by the dc motor and the
output of it was given to the microcontroller where it compares the speed with the prescribed
limit and the speed is controlled automatically. The technology used in this system to
communicate between transmitter and receiver is Zigbee technology, which covers up to 10-
100m within its range. This is comparatively cheaper than others. Therefore this system controls
and monitors the overall vehicles in its covered area. By implementing this system the accidents
are reduced in this fast-moving world. In the developed and developing countries, people finds
inconvenience with the road accidents, jamming of vehicles because of the drivers who dislike to
obey the laws at the restricted zone, where the speed has to be limited as prescribed in that zone
by using an automated speed control system to limit the speed automatically using Zigbee
technology.

Literature Survey

Introduction:

A recent survey shows that the maximum rate of serious road accidents are raised due to high
uncontrollable speed than necessary speed limited in the particular zone and also due to unaware
obstacles. Minimizing the number of rate of accidents and their worst consequences are the most
challengeable task for the automotive manufacturer, traffic government authorities and
automotive research and development groups. The important needs for the driver while driving
the vehicle is awareness of the restricted zone in any term either audible or visual alert to insist
the driver of the vehicle about the obstacle in front of the road. And this system is available in
today's vehicle as a special feature in the vehicles market, and the future vehicle requires higher
safety in driving controls intelligently in each and every vehicle. Road transport is a major type
of transport system used in India. India has a huge network of road connects throughout the
nation. Our nation faces the maximum number of accidents and accidental fatalities while
comparing to other nations around the world. The Ministry of Road Transport & Highways report
revealed that India has got one road accident every minute in a year which lost one life in 3
minutes. Contrary to popular belief, only 1.5% of the accidents are caused by defective roads. In
the majority of the cases (77%), the driver is at fault. This becomes more dangerous in populated
regions like schools or hospitals. In school areas, speed breakers are provided to reduce the speed
of vehicles, but the drivers do this manually. Many times due to driver’s fault speed is not
controlled.

Reviews:

1. Amulya A M, et.al., Intelligent vehicle speed controller: In this paper, they

concentrated to avoid the collision of the vehicle due to its over speed in the speed
restricted zones by automatically. This can be done through the embedded systems and
the RF transmitter and receiver modules. When the vehicle enters the speed, the restricted
area driver has to reduce the speed of the vehicle manually. If the driver did not slow
down the vehicle, the electronic controller would take the lead to control and reduce the
speed of the vehicle by receiving the signal from the transmitter in that zone. By that
received signal, the Arduino microcontroller would process to give a signal to the motor
to control the speed. Here mainly they use the RF transmitter and receiver to identify the
restricted zone.

2. Vaishal B. Niranjane, et.al., Automatic vehicle speed control system:

They explained the working of their system in three different zones where the speed
wants to reduce automatically by using Zigbee technology. They are Normal zone, silence
zone, speed limit zone. The speed is reduced by reversing the motor rotating direction
through the microcontroller 8051. The Zigbee transmitter is placed at that zone for
example hospital while the vehicle reached that area the signal is received by the Zigbee
receiver in the vehicle. The speed of the vehicle is compared with the determined speed in
that area. If speed is higher for that zone the microcontroller takes in action to reduce the
speed of the vehicle and if it is silence zone it disables to make a horn.

3. Amarnarayan, et.al., Automatic over speed controlling of vehicle: The

main aim of the authors to control the speed of the vehicle to avoid the accidents in the
hospital zone, curve roads and deep cuts due to over speed. This can be done with the
ZigBee technology with the arm-7 microcontroller. The prescribed speeds at that zone are
incorporated in the transmitter module and when the receiver in the vehicle senses the
signal that arm-7 microcontroller would check whether the driver reducing the speed for a
limited time. After the timer passes the limited time, the microcontroller makes the signal
to reduce the speed of the motor, which makes the vehicle decelerate without the action of
the driver.

4. Gummarekula sattibabu, et.al., Automatic vehicle speed control with

wireless in-vehicle road sign delivery system using arm 7: The objective is
to design the electronic display controller for Vehicle Speed control and monitor the
zones with the help of the embedded systems and they designed to display the
information on the dashboard about the zone. To achieve this they use two units, which
are zone status transmitter unit and electronic display and control unit (Arm-7). Here if
the sensible zone is detected by the receiver in a vehicle the signal processes in the
controller and warns the driver by displaying it and gives a buzzer sound. There is a timer
for driver action to decrease speed if the time passes then the vehicle automatically sets to
desired predefined speed

Literature Conclusion:

The above study has a high impact on the design and components selection of the automatic
vehicle speed control system and inferred that Zigbee wireless communication can be used
instead of RF communication module and RFID tag in the system for real-time working systems
in the vehicle. The method for recognizing the restricted zone is done through the Zigbee
transmitter in the zone and the Zigbee receiver is placed on the vehicle which is inferred from the
review. The content from the above-mentioned reviews is taken into consideration for the design
and development of the vehicle speed control system automatically.

Objectives and Methodology of proposed project

The main objective of this system is to reduce the accident rates in the speed restricted zones like
school zone, hospital zone and sharp u-turns due to the negligence of the driver to reduce the
vehicle speed to limited speed as mentioned in the signboard in that zone. In this automatic
vehicle speed control system, When the vehicle enters the speed limiting zone the transmitter
block starts to work and transmit the signal to the vehicle receiver which is placed in the vehicle,
the Zigbee receiver which is connected with microcontroller process the signals and compares
the speed of vehicle with the predefined speed of that particular zone. The Arduino Uno was used
as a the implementation of ‘AUTOMATIC SPEED CONTROL OF VEHICLES IN THE
RESTRICTED AREA’ using Arduino UNO, DC motor, Zigbee module and sensor, where the
speed of the vehicle is reduced automatically. This speed control system assures that the number
of accidents near the school and another specific zone to reach its minimum speed. this system
requires very low cost, durable, low power, and gives maximum safety to the public and simple
design to implement in the specific areas. This system also works on bad weather days. This
system will protect the public from the rash drivers, alcoholics, and the drivers who lost their
minds while driving. By implementing this system we can give a safe and peaceful environment
to the public

Possible Outcome
The Arduino-based speed control system, when operational in speed-limited areas, is likely to
achieve precise speed monitoring and enforcement. Vehicles would experience automatic speed
adjustments to comply with the set limits, promoting safer driving practices. This could lead to a
decrease in traffic violations, lowering the risk of accidents and enhancing overall road safety.
The system's efficiency in enforcing speed limits may contribute to a smoother traffic flow and
better adherence to regulatory guidelines in speed-restricted zones.
