Vehical Speed Detection Code

This document contains code for a vehicle speed detection system using two IR sensors and an LCD display. It measures the time taken for a vehicle to pass between the sensors to calculate speed in centimeters per second. The results are displayed on the LCD and printed to the Serial Monitor.
