Development & implementation of smart vehicle over speeding detector using IoT

Abstract

Nowadays over speeding is one of the most common traffic violations. Generally, over speeding is the result of restless and bad behavior of drivers. As the accident rates are increasing it is important to develop and implement a system which can automatically detect and report over speeding to the traffic control authorities as early as possible. Nearly all the roads are marked with speed limits depending upon the size of moving vehicles and heaviness of traffic, but some drivers habitually ignore this speed limit. The advancement in technology has replaced most of the manual or semi-automatic systems with an automated system. To add on to various systems in place, this research is making the use of Internet of Things to detect and report over speeding of the vehicle on which the device has been preinstalled. IoT is a technique to integrate various devices to exchange data among themselves. This research proposes the design, development and functioning of a smart device that helps in automatically detect and report to competitive authority, when so ever the subject vehicle exceeds the speed limit. The device has been developed based on the Global Positioning System (GPS) Technology using Raspberry Pi hardware and Android OS and has been practically tested on real time basis by installing it in a car.
