Design of intelligent transport system using PIC16f877 microcontroller

Abstract

In this fast moving world, people are in a real haste to move to their desired destination at no time. This makes them to drive the vehicles fast and many times it results in road accidents and invaluable life loss. These road accidents are due to traffic signal violation, rash driving of vehicles. In order to avoid such road accidents, we have proposed an Embedded based Vehicle Motion Control system. This enables the vehicles to be run at controlled speeds depending upon the nature of the area the vehicle crosses. Also, drunken driving is strictly prohibited. This adds safety to the drivers and also to the public people. Our Proposed system consists of PIC 16F877A microcontroller, RF transmitter and RF receiver modules. The RF transmitter unit will be found along with the traffic signals and also in school, hospital, temple zones, etc. The RF receiver unit will be found in the vehicles. RF transmitters transmit signals which will be processed by the microcontroller unit enclosed with the receiver unit and it controls the speed of the vehicles when they reach the respective zones.
