Road traffic is one of the things that needs to be monitored. Speed of the vehicles differ from wider lanes to narrow lanes. Although these lanes have predefined speed limits that a vehicle can move, the users often tend to move at higher speeds which in turn might lead to accidents. In order to control the speed of the vehicles speed breakers are constructed on roads following standards. Mostly these speed breakers are fixed as they are made out of conventional materials that are used in laying a road.
In some streets of India these speed breakers are often broken by the people that are living in that neighbourhood for their own convenience of travel. But also these speed breakers are not prepared following standard dimensions they make the bump semi circular which is not proper if used, in time it will damage ones own vehicle. At Some places they are beyond for ground clearance. These are some serious problems that are needed to be addressed.
The main objective is to control the traffic and make people follow the traffic rules with ease.
Smart speed breakers are that solution. Using artificial intelligence and internet of things it becomes an automated traffic control system.
Components
➢ The first set of sensors is placed before the Smart Speed Breakers. ➢ These sensors are programmed to determine the speed of the approaching vehicle. ➢ As speed limit is already set by the traffic police, this predefined speed is compared with the approaching vehicle speed. ➢ If vehicle speed is less than the predefined speed, then the SSB(smart speed breaker) stays even to the road. ➢ The vehicle can pass without the feel of bump and hence moves in a smoother way. ➢ If speed of vehicle is more than predefined speed, the SSB raises up, locks the movement of SSB and thus the bump is felt to the vehicle. ➢ The SSB lets the traffic only in one direction hence reducing traffic jam problems and rash driving. ➢ In multilane roads, the SSB is placed separately on each lane to regulate the speed.
