Book excerpt: Master's Thesis from the year 2005 in the subject Engineering - Automotive Engineering, grade: Pass, , language: English, abstract: The use of commercial road vehicles has grown with the recent rapid economic growth in the world, but reckless speeding of these heavy vehicles often results in fatal accidents. The Vehicle Speed Warning System is designed and developed to monitor the vehicle speed and raise an alarm if the vehicle has exceeded the preset speed limit. It consists of in-vehicle subsystem, which is fitted into the vehicle, and peripheral interface subsystem connected to the host computer. The system is designed using MC68HC11E9 micro controller. It allows proper calibration of the in-vehicle subsystem and offline data downloading. The microcontroller based Vehicle Speed Warning System has been designed and its application software has been developed. The principal objective in designing this warning system is to present and demonstrate the basic concepts of in-vehicle speed detection and wireless data setting and retrieving system, which will serve as a base for future development of vehicle speed monitoring and tracking system.
