Vehicle Speed Controller
Project Description:
The Vehicle Speed Controller is a smart embedded system designed to monitor and regulate the speed of a vehicle based on pre-defined conditions such as road zones (e.g., school, hospital), speed limits, or user input. It can be built using IoT and sensor technologies to automatically adjust or alert the driver when the vehicle exceeds speed limits.
The main goal of the system is to enhance road safety, prevent accidents, and ensure compliance with traffic regulations. This system can either alert the driver, log violations, or automatically limit the speed of the vehicle using control systems.
Key Features:
-
Real-Time Speed Monitoring
Continuously checks vehicle speed using sensors or GPS. -
Over-Speed Alert System
Notifies the driver via buzzer, light, or app if speed exceeds the limit. -
Automatic Speed Control (Optional)
In some implementations, the system can reduce engine power or alert the ECU to limit speed automatically. -
Zone-Based Speed Management
Uses GPS/geofencing to apply different speed limits in school zones, highways, or city areas. -
Speed Data Logging
Stores speed data for analysis or to alert parents/fleet managers.
Technology Stack (Options):
-
Microcontroller: Arduino / Raspberry Pi / ESP32
-
Sensors: GPS Module, Hall Effect Sensor, IR Sensor, Speed Encoder
-
Actuator (Optional): Servo motor or relay to control throttle
-
Communication (Optional): GSM / Wi-Fi for alerts
-
Frontend: Web or Mobile Dashboard (HTML, CSS, JS, Bootstrap)
-
Backend (Optional): PHP / Node.js for logging and alerts
