Real-Time Vehicle Speed Monitoring and Alerting System to Prevent Road Accidents

Abstract

This study proposes a real-time vehicle speed monitoring and alert system using Internet of Things (IoT) technology to reduce highway accidents. Drivers are informed about the vehicle's speed in real-time and alerted if any risk is identified. It uses a microcontroller, IR speed sensor, LCD, and buzzer to inform drivers about their vehicle's speed, enabling safer driving. The system's micro controller collects and analyzes the IR speed sensor data. The IR speed sensor records vehicle speed at regular intervals. It sends accurate and consistent speed values to the micro controller. The micro controller analyzes speed data and compares it to speed limitations. The micro controller activates the alarm mechanism if the vehicle exceeds the speed threshold. The buzzer and LCD alert users. A warning message appears on the LCD if the vehicle exceeds the speed limit. The sound simultaneously alerts the driver. Real-time speed feedback and notifications encourage drivers to observe speed limits and drive safely. This proactive method makes to reduce speed-related accidents and stimulates safer driving.
