Abstract: This project addresses the critical issue of auto-mobile safety, particularly in speed-restricted zones, where reducing accidents is paramount to minimize loss of life and property. Recent surveys have highlighted a concerning increase in accidents near speed restricted zones, often attributed to drivers hurrying to reach their destinations promptly. Consequently, there is a pressing need to control vehicle speed effectively in such areas. To tackle this challenge, the project proposes a practical, compact, and straightforward solution. An automatic vehicle speed control system based on time, specifically utilizing the Arduino platform. The system functions by incorporating a transmitter unit programmed with the designated speed limit and time, which wirelessly transmits signals to a receiver installed in the vehicle. This receiver, equipped with a speed encoder sensor, automatically adjusts the vehicle's speed based on the received signals, ensuring compliance with the prescribed speed limit. By implementing this innovative technique, it is anticipated that accident rates in speed restricted zones will be substantially reduced, thereby enhancing overall road safety and mitigating the risk of accidents caused by speeding vehicles. Additionally, this system has the potential to address driver behavior issues and reduce nuisance caused by reckless driving. Moving forward, there is scope for further enhancements and optimizations to improve the system's effectiveness and applicability in various other speed-restricted areas, thereby contributing to a safer and more secure transportation environment.
