Vehicle Speed Detection and Over-Speed Control System

vehicle speed control system project by TechieYan Technologies

Abstract

These days, excessive speed and reckless driving are to blame for a large number of accidents. Even though there are numerous rules and provisions against excessive speeding, people nonetheless drive their cars at these rates. We created a project, vehicle speed control system that measures the speed of the car and sets a speed limit in order to prevent accidents brought on by overspeed. The distance between obstacles is determined using two infrared sensors. When an obstruction moves in front of the IR1 sensor, it becomes active. When the obstruction moves through the IR2 sensor, it becomes active. Here in this vehicle speed control system project, the IR sensors provide us the amount of time it takes for an object to go from the IR1 to the IR2 sensor, which allows us to determine the vehicle’s speed.

Nowadays, everyone is using vehicles and these days road accidents are probably occurring, and it leads to death. The main reasons for road accidents are rash driving and over-speeding. It is risky for another person also. To avoid this kind of accident, we have several rules and regulations but many people do not follow the traffic rules and it leads to accidents. To avoid that, we are designing a project for controlling speed.

Introduction

Here, vehicle speed control system project is built to avoid road accidents that are happening because of rash driving and over-speeding. This project is built with sensors and motors to control the speed of the vehicle. In this project, 2 IR sensors are used to detect the speed of the obstacle vehicle when the object/vehicle is passed from IR sensor 1 to IR sensor 2. They get activated when the vehicle passes through them. When the vehicle’s speed is increased, the DC motor gets activated by the predetermined threshold, the buzzer sounds, and the relay and motor control the vehicle’s speed. When the motor is on, vehicle speed reduces to avoid any kind of accident. If the vehicle’s speed exceeds a predetermined threshold, the buzzer sounds and the relay turns on the dc motor. In this vehicle speed control system project, the motor is used to control the vehicle’s speed. Because the power supplied by the Arduino is insufficient for the dc motor, it requires an extra power supply. When the motor is turned on, it slows the vehicle’s speed, allowing us to regulate the vehicles over speed

Flow Chart

The above flowchart is indicating us that when IR sensor 1 is get activated it gets starts and clicks the timmer and it stops when IR sensor 2 is activated and calculates time if of object speed is greater than 0.05 buzzer gets on and DC motor active

Working

The next step after setting up the connection is to upload code to Arduino Uno and power it. When the system is turned on, If a person has left the room then also the relay will be turned off. This will be calculated by 2 ultrasonic sensors that continue to read the values of the ultrasonic sensor. If any person is detected then the relay will be turned on else the relay will be off. 

Conclusion

Thus we conclude that the visitor counter is very helpful in everyone’s life, it is used to reduce electric consumption, and also save electricity from getting wasted. and one has to not worry about the on and off electrical appliances.
