Abstract
This study modifies a car speed limiting device with a view to avoiding car over speeding. The speed limiter was modified by incorporating a carrier chip to coordinate the activities of the speed limiter. When the car speed exceeded the designed speed limit, the speed governor came into action and restricted the car from going beyond the pre-set speed by actuating the relay. Warning signal in the form of alarm was activated, and the receiver sent a message to the owner. The study concluded that the modified speed governor design is better, safer and remotely controlled compared to the existing design.
Highlights
Road accidents have become something normal due to its consistent happening and ubiquitousness
They basically show the response of each component as the car speed changes
The transmitted alarm sounds when the vehicle approaches 95 km/hr. and the receiver gives or sends a text message when the car gets to its maximum speed, alerting the owner the speed activity of the vehicle
Summary
Road accidents have become something normal due to its consistent happening and ubiquitousness. Nigeria is Africa’s most populous country with a surface area of 910,771 square kilometers and an estimated human population of about 167 million people and over 7.6 million vehicles with a total length of about 194,000 kilometers and the country has suffered severe loss of manpower and economy to fatal car accidents [5]. This population create immense pressure that contributes to the high road traffic accidents in the country [6]
