Abstract
:According to several statistics the majority of the Car accidents are caused by highspeedand disrespect
of the inter-vehicles security distance. In spite of this, more than 60% of drivers do not comply with speed limits
on urban roads or trunk roads. The worst situation is when a trunk road passes through a village. There, almost
80% of drivers break the speed limit. In order to give to drivers the means for controlling the speed of their cars,
several constructors have developed various systems such as the speed limiter or regulator already present in
some cars. In this field, research continues to give more effective systems, like speed regulator systems with GPS
(Global Positioning System) which allows to adapt the car velocity to that authorized in its localization zone. In
this paper we describe an Intelligent Cruise Control with GPS and Radar (ICCGR) that combine GPS and radar
systems to adapt the vehicle speed to respect the speed limitation and to avoid running up against others vehicles.
The system integrates a GPS subsystem which makes it possible to locate the car and to determine authorized
speed in its zone of localization. The radar subsystem detects any obstacle In front of the vehicle and gives the
optimal speed to avoid the most dangerous one. A traffic signal pre-emption system,and a related method for its
use, using differential global positioning system measurements for accurate monitoring of the position , speed and
direction of an emergency or service vehicle.
Keywords: GPS, Radar systems, ICCGR.
I.Introduction
The major threats to the world are pollution ,global warming, road accident etc. This project provides solution
prevent road accident, and allow priority to the emergency vehicles. Accidents may occur due to various reasons
one the main reason is due to over speed. We restrict the speed of the vehicles automatically when it enter the
specified zone using IR. The transmitter is specified in a particular area and receiver is fixed at the top of the
vehicle. If the speed is less or equal to the given speed, the system does not get activated. After the vehicle leaves
the specified location it automatically return to the default position. Therefore, the accident can be reduced to
some extent. By using IR transmitter and receivers can prevent accidents at a specified zone only. In RF there are
two part transmitter and receiver in the transistor when press the micro switches key given some input of
microcontroller , the microcontroller check the key input whose key press and what is the data or information
sending after this process the microcontroller1 encoded the input by the RE module the receiver the data by RE
module and collected by receiver microcontroller and the microcontroller decoding the information signal and
display on the seven segment and microcontroller sending the data in dc Motor, and motors start the receiver part
send feedback which data is receives ,sending by the RF module again the transmitter RF module receive
feedback information and decoding by microcontroller and display on LCD (liquid crystal display). It’s whole
process based on the frequency modulation. In order to avoid accidents at all places by using GPS system.
