ABSTRACT: This project addresses the critical issue of auto-mobile safety, particularly in speed-restricted zones, where
reducing accidents is paramount to minimize loss of life and property. Recent surveys have highlighted a concerning
increase in accidents near speed restricted zones, often attributed to drivers hurrying to reach their destinations promptly.
Consequently, there is a pressing need to control vehicle speed effectively in such areas. To tackle this challenge, the
project proposes a practical, compact, and straightforward solution.
An automatic vehicle speed control system based on time, specifically utilizing the Arduino platform. The system functions
by incorporating a transmitter unit programmed with the designated speed limit and time, which wirelessly transmits
signals to a receiver installed in the vehicle. This receiver, equipped with a speed encoder sensor, automatically adjusts the
vehicle's speed based on the received signals, ensuring compliance with the prescribed speed limit.
By implementing this innovative technique, it is anticipated that accident rates in speed restricted zones will be
substantially reduced, thereby enhancing overall road safety and mitigating the risk of accidents caused by speeding
vehicles. Additionally, this system has the potential to address driver behavior issues and reduce nuisance caused by
reckless driving. Moving forward, there is scope for further enhancements and optimizations to improve the system's
effectiveness and applicability in various other speed-restricted areas, thereby contributing to a safer and more secure
transportation environment.

Keywords: Speed restricted zones, Accidents, Automatic vehicle speed control system, Arduino
platform, Wireless communication, Road safety.

I. INTRODUCTION

In the contemporary world, traffic congestion and reckless driving have become increasingly prevalent, posing significant
challenges to road safety and efficiency. This project aims to address these issues by implementing a speed limiting
mechanism, a system designed to control vehicle speeds effectively. The primary objective is to enhance road safety and
reduce fuel consumption, two critical aspects of sustainable transportation.
As roads become more congested and incidents of reckless driving continue to rise, it becomes imperative to explore
innovative solutions to enhance road safety. Traditional methods, such as traffic signals and manual enforcement of speed
limits, have proven to be insufficient in addressing these issues. Therefore, the implementation of a speed limiting
mechanism represents a proactive approach to curbing accidents and promoting responsible driving habits.
Another significant aspect of this project is its potential to contribute to the broader goal of smart city development. Smart
cities aim to leverage technology to improve the quality of urban life and the efficiency of urban services. By integrating a
speed limiting mechanism into the transportation infrastructure, we can enhance traffic management, reduce congestion,
and improve road safety, all of which are key components of a smart city. Thus, this project aligns with the vision of
creating smarter, safer, and more sustainable urban environment the contemporary world, traffic congestion and reckless
driving have become increasingly prevalent, posing significant challenges to road safety and efficiency. This project aims
to address these issues by implementing a speed limiting mechanism, a system designed to control vehicle speeds
effectively. The primary objective is to enhance road safety and reduce fuel consumption, two critical aspects of sustainable
transportation.

speed using driver.

 Lo-Ra: for receiving transmitter signal from transmitter.
 Motor Driver: To control motor operations and speed.
 IR Sensor: For detecting motor RPM.
 Power Supply: To provide power to the system components.
Working:-

1. Transmitter Setup: The transmitter unit is responsible for encoding and transmitting
speed restrictions for specific time intervals. Here’s a detailed breakdown:

 Real-Time Clock (RTC): This is used to set different time values for various modes like
normal, high, slow, off. These modes correspond to different speed limits.
 Arduino: Once the time values and corresponding modes are set, this information is
stored in the Arduino’s ROM (Read-Only Memory) for future execution.
 Lo-Ra Module: When the specific time for a mode occurs, the Arduino transmits these
signals wirelessly using the Lo-Ra (Long Range) module. These signals include the time
intervals (start and end times) along with the corresponding speed limits.

2. Receiver Setup: The receiver unit is installed in the vehicle and is responsible for receiving the transmitted signals
and controlling the vehicle’s speed accordingly. Here’s how it works:

 Lo-Ra Module: When the time for a specific mode occurs, the receiver’s Lo-Ra module receives the transmitted
signals from the transmitter. These signals contain the encoded
speed value for that time interval.
 Arduino: The Arduino decodes the received mode and matches it with the corresponding
speed value.
 Motor Driver: After the matching process, the Arduino generates a PWM (Pulse Width Modulation) signal
corresponding to the speed value. This signal is given as input to the motor driver.
 RPM Sensor: The RPM (Revolutions Per Minute) sensor monitors the speed of the vehicle. If the speed exceeds
the limit set by the PWM signal, it sends a signal back to the arduino.
 Speed Limit Enforcement: Based on the feedback from the RPM sensor, the Arduino
adjusts the PWM signal to the motor driver, effectively limiting the speed of the vehicle to the set limit.
