Abstract— Now-a-days people are driving very fast; accidents are occurring frequently, we lost our valuable life by making small
mistake while driving (school zone,hospital zone, hills area, and highways). So in order to avoid such kind of accidents and to alert
the drivers and to control their vehicle speed in such kind of places the highway department have placed the signboards. But
sometimes it may to possible to view that kind of signboards and there is a chance for accident. So to intimate the driver about the
zones and the speed limit automatically, is done by means of using RF technology. The project is composed of two separate units:
zone status transmitter unit and receiver (speed display and control) unit. Once the information is received from the zones, the
vehicles embedded unit automatically give the signal to the engine control unit for the limiting the vehicle speed.

1 INTRODUCTION

R oad facilities are a major concern in the developed world.

Recent studies show that one third of the number of fatal or
serious accidents are associated with excessive or inappropriate
speed, as well as changes in the roadway (like the presence of
road-work or unexpected obstacles). Reduction of the number of
accidents and mitigation of their consequences are a big concern
for traffic authorities, the automotive industry and transport
research groups. The existing system is advanced driver
assistance systems (ADAS) which displays a visual signal. The
driver manually controls the speed after seeing the signal. Zones
are identified by GPS technology that maintains a constant user
preset speed. Problems in this system is that visual signals
produced by the vehicle to communicate to the driver are
acoustic,hectic which results in the possibility of a collision. The
dynamic updating of the road map is not always available. The
driver may not consider the speed limits. FIGURE 1. RF TRANSMITTER
The main aim of this paper is to design a display controller
meant for vehicle speed control which Monitors the zones. It
runs on an embedded system. Smart display and control can be
custom designed to fit into vehicles dashboard.

2 BLOCK DIAGRAM
The signal data is encoded by the encoder and the
RF transmitter transmits the signal through antenna.
On the receiver end, the antenna receives the signal and
decodes it using decoder which is then sent to micro
controller. Based on the micro controller output it is passed
to car unit which then alters and controls the speed of the FIGURE 2. RF RECEIVER

4.1 TRANSMITTER
The HT12E Encoder converts 12 bit parallel data to serial
data.These 12 bits are divided into 4 data bits and 8 address
bits.When the trigger signal is received on the transmitter enable
pin14 the address and data bits are transmitted together.HT12E
starts a 4 bit transmission cycle upon the receiving of the enabled
signal.The transmission cycle is repeated till the transmitter
enable pin is kept low.The RF transmitter uses ASK(Amplitude
shift keying) technique for transmitting data.It produces a output
frequency of 433MHz.

4.2 RECEIVER
RF Receiver antenna receives the signal from RF
TX(Fig.1).The data output is given to the decoder HT12D.The
decoder converts serial input data into parallel data.The valid
transmission is indicated by a high at VT pin17.
The VT pin output is given to the relay driver circuit.Relay is
used to switch the voltage.If the VT pin output is high relay
switches the +5V to micro controller input pin4.If the VT pin
output is low relay switches 0V to the microcontroller input pin4.
Microcontroller receives input from the relay driver.If the input is
5V,microcontroller produces the output at pin18 & pin19 and also
to the LCD display.
FIGURE 3.TRANSMITTER-CIRCUIT DIAGRAM
The output of pin 18 is given to relay driver circuit.By this
time relay 2 switches to 1.5V,now the speed of the car is
reduced.The output of pin19 is given to buzzer for indicating
school zone area.
The above process is done only when the car is in the range of
RF TX area.(i.e.school zone area).
If the car is out of RF TX area then the output of microcontroller
pin 18 & pin 19 is low.The buzzer and the LCD display is
switched off.This time relay 2 switches to 3V so the car runs at
full speed.

5 CONCLUSION

Here by we conclude that this project is very easy to implement

on current system. It is available for low cost and durable.It
ensures maximum safety to passengers and public, the driver gets
all information about the road without distracting him from
driving.The driver gets all information even in bad weather
conditions.It consumes low power.
