Abstract

This paper presents a smart highway speed checker using raspberry Pi and an ultrasonic sensor. The main purpose of using Raspberry Pi in this project is to send the message about speed violators in the form of images with the help of an RPi camera. The ultrasonic sensor is used to calculate the speed of the vehicle. The RPi is programmed by raspbian os. The image that was taken was sent to nearby traffic authorities about the speed violation of vehicles. This system is designed to detect the vehicles moving at high speed and calculate their velocity. To capture the image of vehicles an image processing software called Open CV is used. This system also uses the Simple Mail Transfer Protocol (SMTP) for sending the mail to the corresponding speed violator as a warning. Several types of capturing sizes of the videos are used in this system to check and measure the performance of the embedded board that is used. Thus this technology is more useful for checking .high-speed vehicles on highways
