Working Principle

This project is microcontroller based Vehicle speed measuring system

in highways, if the speed crossed beyond the particular speed limit it will alert the alarm to
indicate the particular vehicle is over speed.

In this project IR based transmitter and receiver is used to sense the start and stop
point to the known distance between two points. Microcontroller will start its timer when the
IR is cutoff, and it will be stopped when the second IR is cutoff. By calculating total distance
divided by time we can calculate speed of the particular vehicle.
