Abstract:
The continuous rise in road accidents due to over-speeding has become a critical issue, especially in semi-urban areas where monitoring infrastructure is minimal and or absent. This research presents the design and construction of an intelligent vehicle over-speed detector and report system using the ESP8266 microcontroller and GSM technology. The system uses infrared (IR) sensors to measure the time interval between two fixed points. Once the speed exceeds a predefined threshold, the ESP8266 triggers the GSM module to send an SMS alert containing the speed violation details and location. The system is designed to be compact, cost-effective, and suitable for integration into various types of vehicles. The proposed design ensures real-time detection, immediate reporting, and can be deployed in areas lacking internet connectivity. This work demonstrates a practical application of embedded systems in road safety and can be extended with features such as cloud integration, speed logging, and automated penalties.
