Over speed monitoring system

Over Speed is one of the main reasons for increase in the occurrence of accidents nowadays. Many techniques are being used for over speed monitoring. However, these methods require lot of man power. In this paper, we present the design and implementation of a system, which provides a simple way to traffic authorities for monitoring of all the vehicles from the control room itself. This system calculates the speed and GPS coordinates continuously and these GPS coordinates help to find out the area in which the vehicle has been present and the maximum speed allowed in the respective area. The speed and the coordinates of vehicle calculated are continuously stored in a memory card. If the speed of any vehicle exceeds the speed limit, the driver is alerted through a buzzer indicating the same. If the driver still does not drive within the speed limit, an SMS, which contains the vehicle registration number, GPS coordinates at where he exceeded the speed limit, is sent to traffic authorities. Accordingly an over speed ticket can be issued against the same vehicle.
