Speeding remains one of the most prevalent causes of traffic-related fatalities worldwide. Existing speed control mechanisms,suchasstaticspeedbreakers,trafficcameras, and manual law enforcement, exhibit limitations in realtime adaptability and enforcement efficiency. Traditional speed bumps cause unnecessary vehicle wear, increase fuel consumption, and disrupt smooth traffic flow. Additionally, manual enforcement methods require significant human resources and are often ineffective in preventingspeedviolations.
In contrast, an Intelligent Speed Regulation and Automated BrakingSystem (ISRABS)dynamically detects overspeeding vehicles and enforces immediate braking interventions only for violators, ensuring an optimized traffic environment. By integrating advanced sensor technology, machine learning algorithms, and IoT connectivity, this system enhances road safety while reducing the dependency on conventional enforcement techniques.

Numerous studies and technological advancements have been carried out in the field of Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS), aiming to enhance traffic safety, reduce accidents, and improve overall transportation efficiency. A key focus area within ITS is speed regulation, as overspeeding remains a major contributor to road accidentsworldwide.
TraditionalSpeedBreakershavelongbeenusedasasimple and effective means of enforcing speed limits. However, their static nature introduces several issues. These include the risk of sudden and uncontrolled braking, vehicle damage especially for low-clearance vehicles and challenges during emergency situations or low-visibility conditions,suchasnighttimeorfog.Moreover,fixedspeed breakers can cause unnecessary slowdowns even when trafficconditionsdonotdemandthem,leadingtoincreased fuelconsumptionanddriverdiscomfort.
Sensor-BasedSolutionshavegainedtractioninrecentyears as a more intelligent alternative to static systems. Technologies such as ultrasonic sensors, infrared (IR) sensors,andradarmodules havebeen exploredforvehicle detectionandspeedmeasurement.Thesesensorsallowfor the collection of real-time data about vehicle movement and behavior, enabling more dynamic traffic control strategies. However, while they enhance monitoring capabilities, these solutions often lack the capacity to enforcespeedreductionphysically.
Smart Traffic Control Systems, built upon sensor networks and Internet of Things (IoT) frameworks, aim to optimize traffic flow and minimize congestion. They incorporate features like adaptive signal control, traffic prediction algorithms, and centralized data processing. Despite these advancements, most smart traffic systems are passive in nature they inform and guide drivers but do not impose physicaldeterrents.Assuch,theireffectivenessislimitedin scenariosrequiringdirect enforcement,suchaszonesnear schoolsorhospitals.

(LiDAR), provide accurate and non-intrusive means of detecting vehicle speed. These systems are commonly used by law enforcement agencies and in traffic violation detection setups. Nevertheless, the high cost, complex calibration, and infrastructure requirements of such systems often restrict their deployment in budgetconstrainedorruralenvironments.
Dynamic Speed Breakers represent a hybrid approach, wherespeedbreakersareactivatedonlywhenavehicleis detected to be exceeding the speed limit. Research has explored mechanisms such as pneumatic pressure pads, servo-controlled mechanical arms, and image processingbased systems triggered by cameras. While conceptually effective, many of these systems suffer from practical limitations including mechanical wear and tear, latency in activation,andmaintenancecomplexity,makingthemless viableforlong-termpublicuse.
Microcontroller-Based Control Systems, particularly those employing platforms like Arduino, Raspberry Pi, or ESP modules, offer an affordable and flexible approach to building embeddedtrafficsolutions.Thesesystemscanbe programmed to integrate various sensors and actuators, enabling real-time decision-making. Due to their low cost, ease of deployment, and scalability, they have become a popular choice in academic and prototype-level ITS research.
The existing body of work demonstrates significant progressinvehicledetection,speedmonitoring,andsmart traffic management. However, a gap persists in the implementation of systems that combine intelligent monitoring with responsive physical enforcement. There remainsa needfora cost-effective,real-timesolution that can dynamically regulate speed through physical intervention such as deployable speed breakers only when necessary. Such a system should minimize disruption to compliant drivers while ensuring safety in high-risk areas, thereby bridging the gap between passive monitoringandactiveenforcement.
Existing studies on speed detection and enforcement indicate that traditional speed breakers and manual monitoring are inefficient in rapidly urbanizing regions. Research on automated braking systems highlights the advantagesofmachinevision,sensorfusion,andAI-driven analytics in vehicular safety. Notable advancements include:
2.1 LiDAR-based speed monitoring, which provides precise vehicle tracking without physical road interventions.
2.2 AI-enhanced real-time traffic analysis, enabling automatedregulatoryresponsestopreventaccidents.
2.3 Vehicular-to-Infrastructure (V2I) communication, which facilitates seamless integration of speed enforcementwithinsmartcityframeworks.
2.4 Predictive analytics and deep learning models, which enable proactive speed regulation by analyzing past trafficpatternsandaccident-pronezones.
2.5 Edge computing and decentralized processing, reducing latency in speed detection and enforcement actions.
2.6 Integration of 5G technology, enhancing real-time communicationbetweenvehiclesandinfrastructureto improveenforcementaccuracyandefficiency.
Despite these advancements, limitations persist in current implementations,suchashighcosts,dataprivacyconcerns, and varying environmental adaptability. ISRABS addresses these challenges by combining affordable sensor technology, cloud-based monitoring, and adaptive braking interventions,offeringa scalableandefficientenforcement solution.
By implementing ISRABS, cities can achieve a proactive, data-driven approach to speed regulation, minimizing human intervention while ensuring safer road conditions forallusers.
Speeding is a major contributor to road accidents worldwide,causingthousandsoffatalitiesandinjurieseach year. Existing speed enforcement strategies, such as traffic cameras, speed bumps, and manual policing, suffer from inefficiencies, high maintenance costs, and limited effectiveness in real-time prevention. Speed bumps cause unnecessary wear and tear on vehicles, increase fuel consumption, and create traffic congestion, while static enforcement measures fail to provide immediate interventionforspeedingvehicles.
A lack of adaptive, real-time speed regulation mechanisms exacerbates road safety concerns, particularly in high-risk zones such as school areas, highways, and accident-prone intersections. Conventional law enforcement strategies oftenrelyonpost-violation penaltiesrather thanproactive accident prevention. Additionally, human-dependent enforcement approaches are resource-intensive and prone to errors, reducing their reliability in managing speedrelatedinfractions.
