Slow Traffic Zone Using Wireless Sensor & Iot

Abstract

Car accidents is a serious issue in our country that needs to be resolved. One of the leading causes for car accidents is over speeding. Traditional system used sign boards for indicating the speed limit of the area. Most of the drivers ignore these signs while driving. This method seemed to be ineffective and has led to increase in number of accidents. The aim of this project is to resolve this problem by creating an efficient speed limiting and accident alert system. So to alert the driver about the speed limit at slow speed zones and to detect crash automatically, it is done by utilizing RF, GPS, IOT and cloud computing technologies. Initially, it detects the presence of vehicle in the vicinity of slow speed zone. Then, it alerts driver entering slow speed zones by displaying speed limit, blinking of red LED and beeping of buzzer. Finally, system reduces speed of electric vehicles within slow speed zones. The other part of project focuses on alerting the medical authorities about the accident and providing them location of accident site instantly after accident has occurred. It can reduces 5-6 minutes wasted in contacting medical authorities and locating accident site.
