The aim of this project is to develop a device to detect rash driving on
highways and to alert the traffic authorities in case of any speed violation.
Accidents due to rash driving on highways are on the rise and people are losing
their lives because of others mistakes. In the present system, to detect rash
driving the police has to use a handheld radar gun and aim at the vehicle to
record its speed. If the speed of the vehicle exceeds the speed limit, nearest police
station is informed to stop the speeding vehicle. This is an ineffective
process as after detecting one has to inform the same and a lot of time is
wasted.
The proposed system will check on rash driving by calculating the
speed of a vehicle using the time taken to travel between the two set points at
a fixed distance. A set point consists of a pair of sensors comprising of an IR
transmitter and an IR receiver, each of which are installed on either sides of
the road. The speed limit is set by the police who use the system depending
upon the traffic at the very location. The time taken by the vehicle to travel
from one set point to the other is calculated by control circuit. Based on that
time it then calculates the speed and displays that on seven segment displays.
Moreover if the vehicle crosses the speed limit, a buzzer sounds alerting the
police.
This concept can be extended in future by integrating a camera with the
system which could capture the image of the number plate of the vehicle to
sends that to the traffic authorities.
