Smart Driver Safety with Vehicle Speed Using Zigbee Technology

ABSTRACT: The growing incidents of road accidents caused by reckless driving, alcohol impact, and careless violation of traffic rules have become a matter of serious concern. Latest technology provides feasible solutions to minimize human mistakes through smart systems. This paper describes the development and integration of a Smart Driver Safety System with Vehicle Speed Control using Zigbee Technology. The model proposed is constructed through an embedded system that checks driver preparedness through alcohol testing, seatbelt checking, and detecting drowsiness. It also incorporates a Zigbee-based speed control system that is fed by transmitters located in intelligent zones like schools and hospitals to ensure that vehicle speed is automatically controlled to pre-set speeds. The whole system is controlled by a microcontroller that handles real-time information from different sensors and modules. This project serves to not only reduce accidents but also encourage responsible driving practices and public safety.
