A speed limit violation detection and license plate capture system.

Abstract

This project presents an arrangement to detect reckless driving or over speeding on highways and by design capture the license plates of the violator’s vehicle. In the past, many devices have been made but they require human effort. There are no means of control or monitor speed of the vehicles except the use of traffic policemen. Given the huge mileage of driveways, the number of traffic policemen is far from enough to observe and analyze most drivers. The model is advantageous as there will not be any need of traffic policemen and will accurately detect speed rather than maintaining trust in the eye. This project discusses the hardware as well as the software modules involved in the speed detection and license plate capture system. The system requires a microprocessor, a camera for input, and network capabilities to send data. It includes some reflections on the evolution of this methodology and different design decisions and their impact on the system.
