ABSTRACT
To control the accident highway department have placed the signboards. Increasing number
of accidents at busy junctions are a major threat faced by today’s world. Nowadays people are
driving very fast; we lost our valuable life by making small mistake while driving (school zone, hills
area, and highways). Most of accidents are occur due to two wheelers Speed control is required at
busy junctions. 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 be possible to view that kind of signboards and there is a chance for accident. In
this paper we are controlling the speed of two wheelers. This paper is composed of two separate
units: zone transmitter unit and receiver unit. Once the information is received from the zones
through zigbee, the vehicle’s embedded unit automatically alerts the driver, to reduce the speed
according to the zone, it waits for few seconds, and otherwise vehicle’s speed control unit
automatically reduces the speed.
Keywords: CDI Unit, Flywheel, Pulsar Coil, Spark Plug, Zigbee.
1. INTRODUCTION
One of the major causes of road accident in the world is driving too fast, recent studies shows
that one third of the serious road accidents are due to inappropriate speed, as well as change in road
way (like presence of road work or unexpected obstacles).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 not to possible to view that kind of

The wireless ZIGBEE module transmits the speed limit and warnings to the vehicle. On the other
hand in the vehicle module, the ZIGBEE Receiver unit announces the speed limit warnings through
audio encoder and speaker. The microcontroller in the receiver unit, checks the current speed of the
vehicle and compare it with zone speed. If the speed is above the specified limit, the Central
controlling signal produce trigger signals for the motor that control accelerator unit to drop the speed
within the specified range.

8. CONCLUSION
The paper has been successfully designed and tested. The project succeeded in implementing
a system to reduce the traffic violations. The project is easy to implement on current system, low
cost. low power consumption and durable, ensures maximum safety to passengers and public. The
paper succeeded in implementing a system to reduce the traffic violations. The driver gets all
information about the road without distracting from driving, driver gets all information even in bad
weather conditions. This project is further enhanced by automatic sped control when the vehicle gets
any hazard signal from outside environment. The driver is made aware of his over speed whenever
the vehicle enters the region of limited speed through an audio encoder and if the driver seems not
reducing the speed, the present system automatically reduce its speed to the specified range of the
zone. Wireless transmission about the particular speed of the region is achieved with the help of
zigbee.

Increasing number of accidents at busy junctions are a major threat faced by today’s world. Nowadays people are driving very fast; we lost our valuable life by making small mistake while driving (school zone, hills area, and highways). Most of accidents are occur due to two wheelers Speed control is required at busy junctions. 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 be possible to view that kind of signboards and there is a chance for accident. In this paper we are controlling the speed of two wheelers. This paper is composed of two separate units: zone transmitter unit and receiver unit. Once the information is received from the zones through zigbee, the vehicle’s embedded unit automatically alerts the driver, to reduce the speed according to the zone, it waits for few seconds, and otherwise vehicle’s speed control unit automatically reduces the speed. Keywords: CDI Unit, Flywheel, Pulsar Coil, Spark Plug, Zigbee. 1. INTRODUCTION One of the major causes of road accident in the world is driving too fast, recent studies shows that one third of the serious road accidents are due to inappropriate speed, as well as change in road way (like presence of road work or unexpected obstacles).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.

CONCLUSION The paper has been successfully designed and tested. The project succeeded in implementing a system to reduce the traffic violations. The project is easy to implement on current system, low cost. low power consumption and durable, ensures maximum safety to passengers and public. The paper succeeded in implementing a system to reduce the traffic violations. The driver gets all information about the road without distracting from driving, driver gets all information even in bad weather conditions. This project is further enhanced by automatic sped control when the vehicle gets any hazard signal from outside environment. The driver is made aware of his over speed whenever the vehicle enters the region of limited speed through an audio encoder and if the driver seems not reducing the speed, the present system automatically reduce its speed to the specified range of the zone. Wireless transmission about the particular speed of the region is achieved with the help of zigbee. VI.
