1 Introduction

3 Road safety is a critical concern in today's world. To address the increasing risk of accidents
due to speeding, we propose a low-cost, efficient, and reliable vehicle speed detection system
4
using the Arduino platform. This system, built with readily available components, aims to
5
accurately measure vehicle speeds, provide real-time data for traffic monitoring, and potentially
6 assist in speed enforcement. By combining hardware and software elements, including IR sensors
and Arduino programming, we strive to create a practical and educational solution to enhance
7
road safety.
8 Previous research has demonstrated the versatility of Arduino for traffic monitoring
9 applications, including vehicle counting, traffic flow analysis, and basic speed detection. Ni Hlaing
et.al. designed a system that successfully detected vehicle speeds on roads and highways,
10
triggering a camera to capture images of overspeeding vehicles. These studies highlight Arduino's
11
potential as a reliable and cost-effective platform for building efficient speed detection systems.

• Mounting Challenges- The setup can become bulky and diffi cult to mount
9 on moving vehicles.
• While an Arduino-based speed detector can be an excellent learning tool
10 or budget-friendly solution for simple applications, its limitations in
accuracy, range, power consumption, and complexity make it less
11
suitable for high-performance or commercial-grade vehicle speed
12 detection tasks.
