Vehicle Collision Control with Over Speed Detection

This project presents a system to detect rash driving on highways. In case of any violation of rules it helps the traffic authorities. In past, lot of devices was made to detect rash driving on highways. Most of the approaches require human concentration and involve a lot of effort, which is difficult to implement. The main aim is to design a system for early detection and alert of dangerous vehicle driving patterns related to rash driving. The presence of a vehicle is detected by IR sensor. A set point of a pair of sensors comprises an IR transmitter and an IR receiver, each of which are installed on either sides of the road. Whenever IR rays are interrupted by a vehicle during first sensor the count up timer is started. When the other IR sensor senses the presence of vehicle, the count up timer is stopped. The speed limit set by the device is kept at the very location depending upon the traffic. The time taken by the vehicle to travel from one set point to the other is calculated by a microcontroller program. Based on that time it then calculates the speed. The LCD is used to display the speed of the vehicle. If the vehicle crosses the speed limit, a buzzer sounds alerting the police. The main motive behind coming up with this system is to increase the safety features of the vehicles. For measuring the distance ultrasonic sensor is used.
