DESIGN AND IMPLEMENTATION OF AN RF- BASED CRUISE CONTROL SYSTEM FOR LOW-SPEED ZONES

Abstract : Speeding in designated low-speed zones within urban areas poses a significant threat to the safety of both pedestrians and motorists. To address this issue, a Low-Speed Zone Detection System using IoT and RF Signals have been developed to automatically detect restricted zones and alert drivers in real time. The system employs RF transmitters strategically installed in sensitive areas such as schools, hospitals, and residential neighborhoods. These transmitters continuously broadcast signals that are received by RF modules installed in approaching vehicles. Upon detection, the system activates an in-vehicle alert mechanism consisting of an LCD display, a buzzer, and an automatic speed control unit to inform the driver and enforce speed limits. To enhance monitoring and enforcement, the system is integrated with IoT capabilities that transmit vehicle speed, location, and compliance status to a cloud-based platform. This enables traffic authorities to monitor real-time violations and analyze trends to develop more effective safety strategies. Unlike traditional speed enforcement methods that depend heavily on manual monitoring, this automated solution ensures greater efficiency, increases compliance, and significantly reduces the risk of accidents in critical areas. By automatically regulating vehicle speed in vulnerable zones, the system provides a proactive and reliable approach to improving urban road safety.
