The goal is to reduce accidents caused by drunk driving by automatically controlling the vehicle. The system algorithm first checks the vehicle speed, then uses various sensors to detect alcohol levels and other parameters. If alcohol is detected while the vehicle is in motion, the fuel supply will be blocked to stop the car. Notification will also be sent to emergency contacts and authorities. The proposed system aims to improve road safety by preventing intoxicated driving through automatic

Embedded machine learning-based road conditions and driving behavior monitoringIJECEIAES
Car accident rates have increased in recent years, resulting in losses in human lives, properties, and other financial costs. An embedded machine learning-based system is developed to address this critical issue. The system can monitor road conditions, detect driving patterns, and identify aggressive driving behaviors. The system is based on neural networks trained on a comprehensive dataset of driving events, driving styles, and road conditions. The system effectively detects potential risks and helps mitigate the frequency and impact of accidents. The primary goal is to ensure the safety of drivers and vehicles. Collecting data involved gathering information on three key road events: normal street and normal drive, speed bumps, circular yellow speed bumps, and three aggressive driving actions: sudden start, sudden stop, and sudden entry. The gathered data is processed and analyzed using a machine learning system designed for limited power and memory devices. The developed system resulted in 91.9% accuracy, 93.6% precision, and 92% recall. The achieved inference time on an Arduino Nano 33 BLE Sense with a 32-bit CPU running at 64 MHz is 34 ms and requires 2.6 kB peak RAM and 139.9 kB program flash memory, making it suitable for resource-constrained embedded systems.

This paper describes a speed control device for generating electrical energy on an electricity network based on the doubly fed induction generator (DFIG) used for wind power conversion systems. At first, a double-fed induction generator model was constructed. A control law is formulated to govern the flow of energy between the stator of a DFIG and the energy network using three types of controllers: proportional integral (PI), sliding mode controller (SMC) and second order sliding mode controller (SOSMC). Their different results in terms of power reference tracking, reaction to unexpected speed fluctuations, sensitivity to perturbations, and resilience against machine parameter alterations are compared. MATLAB/Simulink was used to conduct the simulations for the preceding study. Multiple simulations have shown very satisfying results, and the investigations demonstrate the efficacy and power-enhancing capabilities of the suggested control system.

Wide application of proportional-integral-differential (PID)-regulator in industry requires constant improvement of methods of its parameters adjustment. The paper deals with the issues of optimization of PID-regulator parameters with the use of neural network technology methods. A methodology for choosing the architecture (structure) of neural network optimizer is proposed, which consists in determining the number of layers, the number of neurons in each layer, as well as the form and type of activation function. Algorithms of neural network training based on the application of the method of minimizing the mismatch between the regulated value and the target value are developed. The method of back propagation of gradients is proposed to select the optimal training rate of neurons of the neural network. The neural network optimizer, which is a superstructure of the linear PID controller, allows increasing the regulation accuracy from 0.23 to 0.09, thus reducing the power consumption from 65% to 53%. The results of the conducted experiments allow us to conclude that the created neural superstructure may well become a prototype of an automatic voltage regulator (AVR)-type industrial controller for tuning the parameters of the PID controller.

A review on features and methods of potential fishing zoneIJECEIAES
This review focuses on the importance of identifying potential fishing zones in seawater for sustainable fishing practices. It explores features like sea surface temperature (SST) and sea surface height (SSH), along with classification methods such as classifiers. The features like SST, SSH, and different classifiers used to classify the data, have been figured out in this review study. This study underscores the importance of examining potential fishing zones using advanced analytical techniques. It thoroughly explores the methodologies employed by researchers, covering both past and current approaches. The examination centers on data characteristics and the application of classification algorithms for classification of potential fishing zones. Furthermore, the prediction of potential fishing zones relies significantly on the effectiveness of classification algorithms. Previous research has assessed the performance of models like support vector machines, naïve Bayes, and artificial neural networks (ANN).

As demand for smaller, quicker, and more powerful devices rises, Moore's law is strictly followed. The industry has worked hard to make little devices that boost productivity. The goal is to optimize device density. Scientists are reducing connection delays to improve circuit performance. This helped them understand three-dimensional integrated circuit (3D IC) concepts, which stack active devices and create vertical connections to diminish latency and lower interconnects. Electrical involvement is a big worry with 3D integrates circuits. Researchers have developed and tested through silicon via (TSV) and substrates to decrease electrical wave involvement.

Fossil fuel consumption increased quickly, contributing to climate change
that is evident in unusual flooding and draughts, and global warming. Over
the past ten years, women's involvement in society has grown dramatically,
and they succeeded in playing a noticeable role in reducing climate change.
A bibliometric analysis of data from the last ten years has been carried out to
examine the role of women in addressing the climate change. The analysis's
findings discussed the relevant to the sustainable development goals (SDGs),
particularly SDG 7 and SDG 13. The results considered contributions made
by women in the various sectors while taking geographic dispersion into
account. The bibliometric analysis delves into topics including women's
leadership in environmental groups, their involvement in policymaking, their
contributions to sustainable development projects, and the influence of
gender diversity on attempts to mitigate climate change. This study's results
highlight how women have influenced policies and actions related to climate
change, point out areas of research deficiency and recommendations on how
to increase role of the women in addressing the climate change and
achieving sustainability. To achieve more successful results, this initiative
aims to highlight the significance of gender equality and encourage
inclusivity in climate change decision-making processes.
Voltage and frequency control of microgrid in presence of micro-turbine inter...IJECEIAES
The active and reactive load changes have a significant impact on voltage
and frequency. In this paper, in order to stabilize the microgrid (MG) against
load variations in islanding mode, the active and reactive power of all
distributed generators (DGs), including energy storage (battery), diesel
generator, and micro-turbine, are controlled. The micro-turbine generator is
connected to MG through a three-phase to three-phase matrix converter, and
the droop control method is applied for controlling the voltage and
frequency of MG. In addition, a method is introduced for voltage and
frequency control of micro-turbines in the transition state from gridconnected mode to islanding mode. A novel switching strategy of the matrix
converter is used for converting the high-frequency output voltage of the
micro-turbine to the grid-side frequency of the utility system. Moreover,
using the switching strategy, the low-order harmonics in the output current
and voltage are not produced, and consequently, the size of the output filter
would be reduced. In fact, the suggested control strategy is load-independent
and has no frequency conversion restrictions. The proposed approach for
voltage and frequency regulation demonstrates exceptional performance and
favorable response across various load alteration scenarios. The suggested
strategy is examined in several scenarios in the MG test systems, and the
simulation results are addressed.

Smart grid deployment: from a bibliometric analysis to a surveyIJECEIAES
Smart grids are one of the last decades' innovations in electrical energy.
They bring relevant advantages compared to the traditional grid and
significant interest from the research community. Assessing the field's
evolution is essential to propose guidelines for facing new and future smart
grid challenges. In addition, knowing the main technologies involved in the
deployment of smart grids (SGs) is important to highlight possible
shortcomings that can be mitigated by developing new tools. This paper
contributes to the research trends mentioned above by focusing on two
objectives. First, a bibliometric analysis is presented to give an overview of
the current research level about smart grid deployment. Second, a survey of
the main technological approaches used for smart grid implementation and
their contributions are highlighted. To that effect, we searched the Web of
Science (WoS), and the Scopus databases. We obtained 5,663 documents
from WoS and 7,215 from Scopus on smart grid implementation or
deployment. With the extraction limitation in the Scopus database, 5,872 of
the 7,215 documents were extracted using a multi-step process. These two
datasets have been analyzed using a bibliometric tool called bibliometrix.
The main outputs are presented with some recommendations for future
research.
Use of analytical hierarchy process for selecting and prioritizing islanding ...IJECEIAES
One of the problems that are associated to power systems is islanding
condition, which must be rapidly and properly detected to prevent any
negative consequences on the system's protection, stability, and security.
This paper offers a thorough overview of several islanding detection
strategies, which are divided into two categories: classic approaches,
including local and remote approaches, and modern techniques, including
techniques based on signal processing and computational intelligence.
Additionally, each approach is compared and assessed based on several
factors, including implementation costs, non-detected zones, declining
power quality, and response times using the analytical hierarchy process
(AHP). The multi-criteria decision-making analysis shows that the overall
weight of passive methods (24.7%), active methods (7.8%), hybrid methods
(5.6%), remote methods (14.5%), signal processing-based methods (26.6%),
and computational intelligent-based methods (20.8%) based on the
comparison of all criteria together. Thus, it can be seen from the total weight
that hybrid approaches are the least suitable to be chosen, while signal
processing-based methods are the most appropriate islanding detection
method to be selected and implemented in power system with respect to the
aforementioned factors. Using Expert Choice software, the proposed
hierarchy model is studied and examined.
Enhancing of single-stage grid-connected photovoltaic system using fuzzy logi...IJECEIAES
The power generated by photovoltaic (PV) systems is influenced by
environmental factors. This variability hampers the control and utilization of
solar cells' peak output. In this study, a single-stage grid-connected PV
system is designed to enhance power quality. Our approach employs fuzzy
logic in the direct power control (DPC) of a three-phase voltage source
inverter (VSI), enabling seamless integration of the PV connected to the
grid. Additionally, a fuzzy logic-based maximum power point tracking
(MPPT) controller is adopted, which outperforms traditional methods like
incremental conductance (INC) in enhancing solar cell efficiency and
minimizing the response time. Moreover, the inverter's real-time active and
reactive power is directly managed to achieve a unity power factor (UPF).
The system's performance is assessed through MATLAB/Simulink
implementation, showing marked improvement over conventional methods,
particularly in steady-state and varying weather conditions. For solar
irradiances of 500 and 1,000 W/m2
, the results show that the proposed
method reduces the total harmonic distortion (THD) of the injected current
to the grid by approximately 46% and 38% compared to conventional
methods, respectively. Furthermore, we compare the simulation results with
IEEE standards to evaluate the system's grid compatibility.

Photovoltaic systems have emerged as a promising energy resource that
caters to the future needs of society, owing to their renewable, inexhaustible,
and cost-free nature. The power output of these systems relies on solar cell
radiation and temperature. In order to mitigate the dependence on
atmospheric conditions and enhance power tracking, a conventional
approach has been improved by integrating various methods. To optimize
the generation of electricity from solar systems, the maximum power point
tracking (MPPT) technique is employed. To overcome limitations such as
steady-state voltage oscillations and improve transient response, two
traditional MPPT methods, namely fuzzy logic controller (FLC) and perturb
and observe (P&O), have been modified. This research paper aims to
simulate and validate the step size of the proposed modified P&O and FLC
techniques within the MPPT algorithm using MATLAB/Simulink for
efficient power tracking in photovoltaic systems.
Adaptive synchronous sliding control for a robot manipulator based on neural ...IJECEIAES
Robot manipulators have become important equipment in production lines, medical fields, and transportation. Improving the quality of trajectory tracking for
robot hands is always an attractive topic in the research community. This is a
challenging problem because robot manipulators are complex nonlinear systems
and are often subject to fluctuations in loads and external disturbances. This
article proposes an adaptive synchronous sliding control scheme to improve trajectory tracking performance for a robot manipulator. The proposed controller
ensures that the positions of the joints track the desired trajectory, synchronize
the errors, and significantly reduces chattering. First, the synchronous tracking
errors and synchronous sliding surfaces are presented. Second, the synchronous
tracking error dynamics are determined. Third, a robust adaptive control law is
designed,the unknown components of the model are estimated online by the neural network, and the parameters of the switching elements are selected by fuzzy
logic. The built algorithm ensures that the tracking and approximation errors
are ultimately uniformly bounded (UUB). Finally, the effectiveness of the constructed algorithm is demonstrated through simulation and experimental results.
Simulation and experimental results show that the proposed controller is effective with small synchronous tracking errors, and the chattering phenomenon is
significantly reduced.

A remote laboratory utilizing field-programmable gate array (FPGA) technologies enhances students’ learning experience anywhere and anytime in embedded system design. Existing remote laboratories prioritize hardware access and visual feedback for observing board behavior after programming, neglecting comprehensive debugging tools to resolve errors that require internal signal acquisition. This paper proposes a novel remote embeddedsystem design approach targeting FPGA technologies that are fully interactive via a web-based platform. Our solution provides FPGA board access and debugging capabilities beyond the visual feedback provided by existing remote laboratories. We implemented a lab module that allows users to seamlessly incorporate into their FPGA design. The module minimizes hardware resource utilization while enabling the acquisition of a large number of data samples from the signal during the experiments by adaptively compressing the signal prior to data transmission. The results demonstrate an average compression ratio of 2.90 across three benchmark signals, indicating efficient signal acquisition and effective debugging and analysis. This method allows users to acquire more data samples than conventional methods. The proposed lab allows students to remotely test and debug their designs, bridging the gap between theory and practice in embedded system design.

Efficiently identifying and resolving code smells enhances software project quality. This paper presents a novel solution, utilizing automated machine learning (AutoML) techniques, to detect code smells and apply move method refactoring. By evaluating code metrics before and after refactoring, we assessed its impact on coupling, complexity, and cohesion. Key contributions of this research include a unique dataset for code smell classification and the development of models using AutoGluon for optimal performance. Furthermore, the study identifies the top 20 influential features in classifying feature envy, a well-known code smell, stemming from excessive reliance on external classes. We also explored how move method refactoring addresses feature envy, revealing reduced coupling and complexity, and improved cohesion, ultimately enhancing code quality. In summary, this research offers an empirical, data-driven approach, integrating AutoML and move method refactoring to optimize software project quality. Insights gained shed light on the benefits of refactoring on code quality and the significance of specific features in detecting feature envy. Future research can expand to explore additional refactoring techniques and a broader range of code metrics, advancing software engineering practices and standards.

Rapidly and remotely monitoring and receiving the solar cell systems status parameters, solar irradiance, temperature, and humidity, are critical issues in enhancement their efficiency. Hence, in the present article an improved smart prototype of internet of things (IoT) technique based on embedded system through NodeMCU ESP8266 (ESP-12E) was carried out experimentally. Three different regions at Egypt; Luxor, Cairo, and El-Beheira cities were chosen to study their solar irradiance profile, temperature, and humidity by the proposed IoT system. The monitoring data of solar irradiance, temperature, and humidity were live visualized directly by Ubidots through hypertext transfer protocol (HTTP) protocol. The measured solar power radiation in Luxor, Cairo, and El-Beheira ranged between 216-1000, 245-958, and 187-692 W/m 2 respectively during the solar day. The accuracy and rapidity of obtaining monitoring results using the proposed IoT system made it a strong candidate for application in monitoring solar cell systems. On the other hand, the obtained solar power radiation results of the three considered regions strongly candidate Luxor and Cairo as suitable places to build up a solar cells system station rather than El-Beheira.

Over the past few years, the internet of things (IoT) has advanced to connect billions of smart devices to improve quality of life. However, anomalies or malicious intrusions pose several security loopholes, leading to performance degradation and threat to data security in IoT operations. Thereby, IoT security systems must keep an eye on and restrict unwanted events from occurring in the IoT network. Recently, various technical solutions based on machine learning (ML) models have been derived towards identifying and restricting unwanted events in IoT. However, most ML-based approaches are prone to miss-classification due to inappropriate feature selection. Additionally, most ML approaches applied to intrusion detection and prevention consider supervised learning, which requires a large amount of labeled data to be trained. Consequently, such complex datasets are impossible to source in a large network like IoT. To address this problem, this proposed study introduces an efficient learning mechanism to strengthen the IoT security aspects. The proposed algorithm incorporates supervised and unsupervised approaches to improve the learning models for intrusion detection and mitigation. Compared with the related works, the experimental outcome shows that the model performs well in a benchmark dataset. It accomplishes an improved detection accuracy of approximately 99.21%.

Road accident due to overspeeding is a common occurrence in a developing
nation such as Nigeria. Therefore, the need for a device capable of notifying
a vehicle driver when the allowed speed limit of an area is exceeded arises.

circuit designs were implemented with microcontroller as focal point using
suitable design models. Performance test was carried out on the developed
system and the device’s reading error was determined. The developed
automobile speed limiting device and alarm control system was functional
and performed satisfactorily during testing. The reading error of the device
was evaluated as 5.83%. The developed speed limiting device, apart from

1. INTRODUCTION
In recent years, society and people have profited enormously from rapidly improving road systems.
At the same time, automobile industry has manufactured and sold mechanized vehicles capable of operating
at extremely high velocities. High-speed travel of an automobile can prompt more mobility and less time to
be spent on a journey [1]–[3]. However, high vehicle speeds have unfavorable impacts, primarily regarding
road accidents and subsequent deaths, injuries and material damage in addition to environmental hazards
created such as noise and fumes discharge from exhausts of the vehicles.
Greater utilization of automobiles can adversely affect the way of life and human well-being, for
instance, the cardiovascular well-being of the community [4]. Individuals living in main metropolitan areas
begin to pine for lower speeds of automobiles on their roads and there is a developing interest to protect the
environment, provide a better quality of life for the populace living in the area, and likewise to guarantee the
well-being of those living close to the streets: pedestrians, bicyclists, children, and individuals with decreased
mobility [5].
There are definite rules and regulations laid out by authorities about driving automobiles on roads,
and these are specific to different countries. These rules also differ on various roads ranging from federal to

state roads. The most common rule in any country is the speed limit on certain roads where a driver of an
automobile will be in violation of the law if the speed of his automobile exceeds the allowed limit on that
particular road being plied [6], [7]. Speed limits are one important approach to accomplish appropriate speeds
[8], [9]. In a speed management conference organized by the European Conference of Ministers Transport
[5] in 2006, it was discussed that speed limits in most urban areas should not exceed 50 km/hr with 30 km/hr
zones promoted in areas where vulnerable road users are especially in danger. Researches have shown that
the speed limits in addition to traffic calming measures are extremely effective at decreasing accidents,
including injuries, with decreases of up to 66% having been illustrated by implementing the speed limit rule
[10].
Globally, around 1.35 million people meet their death annually due to road accidents with an
additional 50 million individuals harmed from road traffic crashes [11]–[15]. While the reason for crashes is
dependent on quite a number of factors, it is by and large agreed that speed limit infringement and
inappropriate speed are the greatest contributors of incidents of road traffic trashes and their severity [16],
[17]–[19]. Although all highways have signboards indicating maximum speed limit for the sake of both
driver’s safety and that of the pedestrian, still drivers disobey highway speed limit [20]–[22]. The driving
behavior of drivers depends on three key indicators including the average speed, the difference with the
speed limits and the accelerator stroke [23], [24]. An increase in the speed of an automobile leads to the
increased distance of movement during the driver’s response time with the halting distance, consequently
increasing the danger from any driver’s error. Despite the gigantic proof of the connection between speed and
crash risk and severity, the conduct keeps on being unavoidable among drivers across the world [25].
Therefore, in view of the inherent dangers of vehicles overspeed on roads, this work aims at developing an
automobile speed limiting device incorporating an alarm control system that can assist in signaling a driver
when the allowed speed limit on a particular road being plied is violated.
2. AUTOMOBILE SPEED LIMITING DEVICE AND CONTROL SYSTEM
The automobile speed limiting device and control system is a speed limit control system that
involves a road monitoring and speed limit control in the vehicle which receives signals from the installed
transmitter by the roadside. The device can automatically reduce the speed of cars and restrain all vehicles
equipped with the said speed limit control system to the various stipulated and posted maximum speed limits
[25]. Some of the potential benefits associated with the use of automobile speed limiting device and control
system include greater time to recognize hazards, reduced distance travelled while reacting to hazards,
reduced halting distance of the vehicle after application of the brake, increased ability of other road users to
determine vehicle speed and time before collision, increased ability of the driver to maintain control of the
vehicle among others.
According to literature, series of studies have been carried out with respect to the development of an
automobile speed limiting device and control system with different technologies employed. Kodali and
Sairam [26] presented design and implementation of a global positioning system (GPS) based car speed
limiting device. The device could determine vehicle’s current location and the maximum allowed speed in
the area of the road being plied. Enokela and Agbo [27] developed a microcontroller based car speed
controller for automatic control of vehicle’s speed within limit stipulated for a particular zone by a regulating
body such as the federal road safety commission (FRSC) in Nigeria. The system was able to compare the pre-
set speed limits with the actual speed that is derived from the speedometer of car for effective speed control.
Khondaker and Kattan [28] designed an algorithm called the variable speed limit control algorithm which
simultaneously maximizes the mobility, safety and environmental benefits in a connected vehicle
environment. Mishra et al. [29] designed a radio frequency (RF) based speed control system for vehicles to
alert drivers in places where the highway department has placed the speed limit signboards. Olei and Polak
[30] worked on an intelligent speed adaptation system which has the capability of notifying drivers of the
speed limit of each road section.
Going by the literature, the previous models require part, if not all, of the device to be placed in
people’s car. The implication is that these systems will cost a whole lot of money to be implemented by the
government of a country. It also means the drivers can easily tamper with the device in their cars either by
adjusting the speedometer setting to give false readings, blocking the device from RF or even removing their
car’s GPS system since it is well known that not all cars have GPS systems. Therefore, the car speed limiting
system developed in this work seeks to get rid of the two major shortcomings of the past models which are
high cost and inherent ease of manipulation by the vehicle drivers.

3. METHOD
3.1. System overview
The block diagram showing the links between different units of the speed limiting device and alarm
control system developed is shown in Figure 1. The power supply unit provides the required 12 V DC supply
for the operation of the Arduino Nano microcontroller which serves as the brain of the overall system. All
computations and data gatherings are done by the microcontroller. The infrared (IR) sensors detect the speed
of moving vehicle when it enters the speed limiting zone and send signals to the microcontroller for further
action. The outputs of the microcontroller, vehicle speed and speed status, are displayed on a 1,602 liquid
crystal displays (LCD) module.
The alarm unit which comprises negative-positive-negative (NPN) transistor and buzzer is
responsible for sounding an alarm whenever the speed of a vehicle exceeds the pre-set limit as detected by
the microcontroller. The light emitting diode (LED) indicator unit gives an indication of the speed status of a
vehicle passing through the speed limit zone. This unit also serves as an extra form of notification to populate
the alarm and LCD units to allow vehicle drivers see their speed status immediately when passing through
the speed limit region. Two different LED indicators were used. The red LED will be triggered ON whenever
the speed of a detected vehicle has exceeded the pre-set limit while the Green LED will be ON if a vehicle
speed is within limit. The green and red LEDs were controlled through the microcontroller. Speed limit
calibration unit involves the use of push buttons to set the speed limit which serves as the threshold speed for
the moving vehicles.

3.2. Design of system subunits
3.2.1. Power supply unit
Figure 2 shows the circuit diagram of the power supply unit. The unit was designed using four
rechargeable 18,650 lithium-ion cells, each rated 3.7 V, 3,800 mAh. The four cells were arranged in a
series-parallel configuration to give a total rating of 7.4 V, 7,600 mAh. The 7.4 V was then fed through a
DC-DC bulk converter to step the voltage up to the required 12 V. The arrangement was used to power two
sections of the system: the Arduino microcontroller and the NPN transistor TIP 120. The 12 V DC output
from the power supply unit was fed to the microcontroller via its input pin, Vin. The microcontroller in turns
provides 5 V via its 5 V output pin to drive the two infrared sensors IR1 and IR2 and I2C module.
3.2.2. Speed detection unit
The schematic of the speed detection unit is presented in Figure 3. The two sensors IR1 and IR2 were
placed 10 cm apart during the design phase, the distance which was later scaled up to 5 m for real time usage.
When a moving vehicle reaches IR1, the sensor gets activated and sends a high signal (logic 1) to the
microcontroller. The microcontroller acknowledges the signal and then saves the time t1 in seconds it
receives the signal. When the vehicle reaches IR2, another high signal (logic 1) will be sent to the
microcontroller and the time t2 in seconds the signal reaches the microcontroller will be saved.

The circuit diagram of the alarm unit is shown in Figure 4. The NPN transistor TIP120 is used for
amplifying the low power signal (5 V, 40 mA) from the digital pin 2 of the Arduino Nano microcontroller to

3.2.4. LCD unit
Figure 5 shows the circuit diagram of the display unit. A 16 by 2 LCD module was used to display
the status of the system and the speed status of the moving vehicle. The first row of the module displays
status of the system which could be active or inactive, depending on the functionality of the microcontroller
to receive prompt response from the IR sensors when a moving vehicle is sensed. The second row of the
modules shows the speed status of the vehicle passing through the system.
The LCD was interfaced with the Arduino microcontroller via a I2C communication module. The
I2C module helps reduce the numbers of pins required for interfacing the LCD to the Arduino Nano
microcontroller from 16 pins to 4 pins. Analogue pins 4 and 5 of the microcontroller were used for the serial
data transfer.

The circuit diagram of LED indicator unit is presented in Figure 6. The 5 V supplied by the Arduino
digital pins is sufficiently large enough to damage the red and green LEDs as the LEDs require a maximum

where RL is the resistance of the LEDs at maximum voltage VLmax and maximum current ILmax, RS is the
resistor connected in series with the LEDs to achieve maximum current rating ILmax of LEDs.
Using VLmax, ILmax and VArduino as 2.4 V, 20 mA and 5 V respectively, RS was obtained from (10) as
130 Ω. This resistance indicates that a resistor of at least 130 Ω in value needs to be connected in series with
the LEDs to prevent them from burning. However, due to the market availability, RS was selected as 220 Ω.
This is the value of R3 and R4 connected in series with the green and red LEDs respectively. These
resistancess prevent the LEDs from working at maximum ratings continuously for a long period of time
which can lead to inefficiency and quick breakdown.
3.2.6. Speed limit calibration unit
The circuit diagram of the speed limit calibration unit is shown in Figure 7. Five different buttons
B1, B2, B3, B4 and B5 were used to set a unique speed limit suitable for various locations. The buttons B1,
B2, B3, B4, and B5 were used to set the threshold speed of the system from 30 to 70 kmhr-1
at an interval of
10 kmhr-1
. In addition, a blue LED was interfaced in series with reach of the buttons to indicate the currently
activated speed limit button. Hence, the system will act based on the activated or pre-set speed limit.

warning sound. Moreover, comparison of the measured speed with the theoretical estimated speed of the
considered 30 vehicles along the three selected routes revealed that the developed system has an absolute
error of ±5.83%, indicating that the developed system is suitable for speed measurement applications.

5. CONCLUSION
Globally, negative impacts of road accidents with the associated deaths, injuries, material damage
among others resulting from vehicle’s speed exceeding the allowed speed limit on any route call for great
concern. This work designed and implemented a microcontroller-based automobile speed limiting device and
alarm control system. The device is capable of alerting a vehicle’s driver the speed status on any road being
plied, provided the acceptable speed limit on such road has been pre-set on the system. In addition to being
cost effective, the developed system is simple and robust. The device can be deployed for use in different
locations with different speed limits. In terms of ruggedness, the device has been tested and proven to
withstand extreme weather conditions like heavy rain, extremely high temperature, vibrations, and noise.
Hence, functionality during harsh weather conditions can be guaranteed. The system is, however, only
equipped with an alarm and indicator LEDs to identify over speeding vehicles. As a result, there is still a
need for traffic officials to be present at speed limit regions as the device can only help identify an over
speeding vehicle and then notify the officials in order to take necessary actions. To improve system, it is
recommended that technologies like machine vision be integrated to the system. The implementation of
machine vision will enable the device to easily capture information of over speeding vehicles such as car
plate number, face of driver, car model and color and then sent to the authorized personnel for further
actions.
