Speed checker For Highways

ABSTRACT
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.

COMPONENTS
Microcontroller 8051 is the heart of this project. There are many more important part of this project:
A pair of IR sensors Seven Segment Display Buzzer

MICROCONTROLLER
In this project, main work of 8051 is to control entire operation through a coding which is burned inside it manually.

IR SENSORS
It simply sense the vehicles and inform the controller, 8051 complete rest of the work.

It is used to display the speed of the vehicle.

SEVEN SEGMENT DISPLAY

BUZZER
It beeps Whenever any vehicle crosses the speed limit.

A timer is started inside the microcontroller whenever a low pulse is received on the first sensor. Then microcontroller waits for pulse from second sensor. Timer is stopped whenever low pulse is received on second receiver. Speed = Distance/Time Distance between sensors are known. Time is calculated by C.

FUTURE SCOPE
A CCTV Camera can be placed on the highway. If any vehicle has crossed the maximum speed limit then this camera will be triggered to take a picture of the vehicle. We can add voice announcement system. It will intimate the driver that he/she has crossed the over speed condition. We can implement the GSM technology. So that the nearest highway security authorities will be informed about the vehicle which has over speed.
