Abstract: This project introduces an intelligent vehicle safety system designed to enhance road safety through the integration of modern technologies. Powered by a 12V battery, the system supports a robotic chassis driven by DC motors and managed through a motor driver for smooth and controlled movement. At the core of the system is an Arduino Uno microcontroller, which coordinates all functions and responds to real-time data. A key feature of the system is the use of RSSI (Received Signal Strength Indicator) technology to detect school zones. When the vehicle enters such a zone, the system automatically reduces speed to ensure the safety of pedestrians, particularly children and high risk zones. This automation reduces the need for manual intervention and increases response speed to environmental cues. An LCD display is included to provide real-time updates on vehicle speed and system status. The integration of these components results in a responsive and adaptive system. By focusing on zone-based speed control, the project promotes safer driving behavior. The robotic platform allows for flexible deployment and testing. The system is ideal for smart vehicle applications, where automation plays a critical role. It demonstrates the potential of microcontroller-based systems in real-world safety solutions. This approach minimizes risks in sensitive areas like sharp edges and sudden turns. Overall, the project contributes to building safer, smarter, and more responsive transportation systems.
