    Variable Electronic Speed Governor

    Intelligent instruments are used in every part of our lives. As the days of manned driving are getting extremely numbered, so are those of traffic jams, dangerous and rough drivers and more importantly, accidents. According to Mr Willie D. Jones in the IEEE SPECTRUM magazine (September 2001), a person dies in a car crash every second. Automation of the driving control of vehicles is one of the most vital needs of the hour. Bengaluru and many cities of the world have been experiencing an increase in road traffic accidents much of which can be attributed to human errors such as over speeding. The project put forth a theory which proposes that any given area of a city, town or village can be divided in to defined speed zones which are classified according to different speed ranges. At regular intervals, a transmitter is placed, as set for a particular area by regulating body such as the BCTP (Bengaluru City Traffic Police). Transmitter transmits a message signal at carrier frequency, indicating the upper limit speed value of that area into which the vehicle is entering at that moment, to the receiver which gives the message as an input to a pre-programmed MICROCONTROLLER embedded within the automobile which compares the speed of the vehicle measured by a sensor at the hind wheel with the maximum allowable speed and automatically regulates the speed of the vehicle by controlling the fuel flow by sending pulse signals to a servo motor and thus keeping the speed of the vehicle in constant check. The entire system is a variable electronic speed governor, small in size and easy to assemble onto an existing vehicle without disturbing its present arrangement.
