Abstract

In any urban area with public amenities like schools, hospitals, parks, etc. which see a lot of footfall, there are innumerable cases of accidents happening due to speeding vehicles. Now, despite traffic signs highlighting the need for caution, it is apparent that motorists are willing to sacrifice their own safety and others' just to get to their destination on time. The problem which we face is that vehicles in sensitive public zones do not limit their speed, thereby endangering the lives of pedestrians and fellow motorists. An effective solution we have come up with is a system which will automatically detect and reduce the speed of the vehicles and maintain it under a limit in the specified zone. This is done by integrating a wireless module in the Electronic Control Unit i.e. ECU, and providing a network for the school/hospital, we can create a system that checks the speed of vehicles when in range of the network. The system in the car is linked to the throttle valve, which in turn will reduce the speed of the vehicle.
