Now a day's every system is automated in order to face new challenges. In the present days Automated systems have fewer manual operations, flexibility, reliability and accurate. Due to this demand every field prefers automated control systems. Especially in the field of electronics automated systems are giving good performance. The project aims to designing a vehicle speed and count detection system. The Project makes a use of IR sensors to count the number of vehicle as well as speed will be display on 16*2 LCD display. The IR transmitter and receiver are mounted on the both sides of the highway such that the rays from transmitter fall on the receiver. When a vehicle passes through IR system, it acts as an obstacle between transmitter and receiver sections. This will be fed to the microcontroller which counts the number of vehicles as well as speed of the vehicles and displays on LCD. The main controlling device of the whole system is a ARDUINO UNO Microcontroller. IR sensors, LCD are interfaced to Microcontroller. Microcontroller calculates the number of vehicle and speed from IR sensors and displays the count and speed on LCD screen.  To perform this task, Microcontroller is loaded with an intelligent program written using embedded ‘C’ language.

 

The major features of this project are:

• IR sensor-based vehicle speed and count detection.
• Count and speed will be display on LCD.
• Simple electronic circuit.

The major building blocks of this project are:

1. Power Supply.
2. Arduino UNO.
3. IR sensors.
4. LCD display.

Software’s used:

• Arduino IDE for compiling and dumping code into Microcontroller
• Express SCH for Circuit design.
