ABSTRACT:

INTRODUCTION:
Nowadays transport plays a very
important role in our day to day life.
In transportation, roadways play a
very important role. The vehicles of
private organisation and institution
hold a very important place in the
roadways transportation. The
government points to statistics that
underscore the safety of school
buses, which transport 23 million
children a day. According to the
NHTSA, about 800 school-aged
children are killed in motor vehicle
accidents during normal school
travel hours each year. Only about
20 of those deaths are school-bus
related an average of five school
bus passengers and 15 pedestrians,
often students hit inadvertently by
the school bus, according to the
NHTSA statistics. And also
approximately 17,000 children are
treated in emergency rooms

In this paper we have discussed to

develop a speed controller, license
detector and also a GPS tracking
system in vehicles of any private
transport or institution.
So in this we have used a RFID
reader, a GPS device and a GSM.
We have also discussed about each
devices working in detail and its
advantages.

annually, having been injured in

school buses, with 42 percent of
those injuries involving crashes. So
to make the travel safer and secure
and easier we can fix this device.
COMPONENTS:
The components used in this device
are RFID, GPS and GSM.
1. Radio Frequency
Identification (RFID).
2. Global positioning System
(GPS).
3. Global System for Mobile
communication (GSM).

An Electronic Product Code (EPC)

is one common type of data stored in
a tag. When written into the tag by
an RFID printer, the tag contains a
96-bit string of data. The first eight
bits are a header which identifies the
version of the protocol. The next 28
bits identify the organization that
manages the data for this tag; the
organization number is assigned by
the EPC Global consortium. The
next 24 bits are an object class,
identifying the kind of product; the
last 36 bits are a unique serial
number for a particular tag. These
last two fields are set by the
organization that issued the tag.
Rather like a URL, the total
electronic product code number can
be used as a key into a global
database to uniquely identify a
particular product.

RFID:
The RFID works with the help of
radio waves. The abbreviation RFID
stands for Radio Frequency
Identification. This can be used in
our device to detect license. This
also acts as a key. Only after
detecting the license the driver can
start the vehicle. It can also be used
for security purpose. We can store
some license IDs in RFID so that;
the persons with those licenses can
only start the vehicle. If the person
with wrong unidentified ID tries to
operate the vehicle it will not start. If
he tries more than three times there
will be a buzzer. The image of a
sample RFID tag.

The RFID reader will check the

numbers in each tag. It compares
with the registered numbers by the
owner or organisation. If it matches
only, the driver can start the bus.

At present we have speed limits for

each region. Like we have speed
limit of 60kmpr in city and 80kmpr
in highways. The speed limit varies
according to the area. It is difficult
know the changing speed limit while
driving. So in this we are going to
use GPS to find the area in which
the bus is travelling.

GPS SPEED SENSOR:

The Global Positioning System
(GPS) is a satellite-based navigation
system made up of a network of 24
satellites placed into orbit by the
U.S. Department Defence. GPS was
originally intended for military
applications, but in the 1980s, the
government made the system
available for civilian use. GPS
works in any of weather conditions,
anywhere in the world, 24 hours a
day. There are no subscription fees
or setup charges to use GPS.

The GPS device is used to locate the

exact position of the vehicle with the
help of latitude and longitude. The
latitude and the longitude are
received from the GPS in the form
of (4.4). We have to program the
controller in such a way that if the
vehicle crosses particular latitude or
longitude then the limit should
change. A set of latitude and
longitude represent only a point like
a graph. When we draw a imaginary
line across a road which acts as a
boundary for changing speed limit,
either the latitude or longitude will
the same for all the points drawn on
that line. So we can use that as the
condition for switching the speed
limit. Two LEDs can be used to
represent the city and highway limit.
If the driver crosses the speed limit
there will be buzzer until the driver
slows down the speed below the
limit. If then also he increases the
speed, the GSM will send a message
to the register that can be kept in the

GPS satellites transmit two low

power radio signals, designated L1
and L2. Civilian GPS uses the L1
frequency of 1575.42 MHz in the
UHF band. The signals travel by line
of sight, meaning they will pass
through clouds, glass and plastic but
will not go through most solid
objects such as buildings and
mountains.

organisation or institution. The

register will register it and the
management can action against the
driver and warn him.

the bus. So that the respective driver

can be warned or fined by the
institution or organisation.
GSM:
GSM, which stands for Global
System for Mobile communication,
reigns as the worlds most widely
used cell phone technology. It is
approximated that 80 percent of the
world uses GSM technology when
placing wireless calls, according to
the GSM Association (GSMA),
which represents the interest of the
worldwide mobile communication
industry. This amounts to nearly 3
billion global people.

The above picture is the map of

shollingnallur junction which is
outer to Chennai. The highways start
from this junction. A set of latitude
and longitude present only a single
point. So we have considered the
black line drawn in the map as a
boundary separating city and
highway. In that line any one,
latitude or longitude remains same.
In the above map longitude remains
constant. So we can program in such
a way that if the vehicle crosses the
longitude (e.g.: 8013.9282) then the
speed limit will change from city to
highways.

For practical and everyday purposes,

GSM offers users wider
international roaming capabilities
than other U.S. network
technologies and can enable a cell
phone to be a world phone. More
advanced GSM incorporates the
earlier TDMA standard.
In this we use the GSM device used
to send SMS. The private transport
or institution pickup the passengers
of the bus at the boarding point at a
particular time. The GSM will send
the report of the bus to the
passengers via SMS. When the
vehicle starts it will send SMS to the
phone numbers which had been
already stored. And also when the

If the driver crosses the speed limit

there will be buzzer. If he further
increases the speed it will be
registered through GSM. The details
about the driver are received from
the license detected while starting

vehicle comes nearer to a boarding

point it will send SMS to those
persons in that boarding point that
the the bus will arrive shortly.
This helps the passengers to get the
bus on time and to know the location
of the bus.

Therefore this project will provide a

secure and safety road travel for all
people. This will also make people
to follow traffic rules.

The can be used for single route

only. As there will be change in the
latitude and longitude we can use the
device for a particular route. We
have to program it each time to work
in different routes.
