Abstract : Here we are fabricating the model pneumatic speed breaker with day night control. Nowadays traffic has increased as the use of vehicle hasincreasing day to day. We require speed breaker to slow down the vehicles which are traveling at high speed. In certain areas at daytime traffic may be heavier than nighttime. So, we require speed brake only during the daytime and not at night. For this purpose, this project gives a solution. This equipment consists of pneumatic cylinder, Speed breaker setup, solenoid valve, LDR, proximity Sensor and Control unit.

  1. INTRODUCTION

    According to the NATPAK report of road accidents 2009 , India ranks 2nd in the number of persons killed in road accidents and among the Indian states Kerala ranks 2nd .According to their findings, carelessness of the drivers, improper and nonscientific construction of roads and speed breakers, over speeding and ineffective traffic management contributes about72% of the total number of accidents.

    Our project automatic speed breaker is a new concept in this field and its innovative too. The device mainly consists of a speed breaker which is operated with the help of electric power. This system is mainly employed in the areas where the need of speed breaker is restricted to certain specific timings in areas like school and collage roads, theatre roads etc. and during the other hours the inconvenience of the speed breaker can be removed by folding down the speed breaker below the road surface. Hence they seem to be more effective in against over speeding and helps in traffic management.

  2. LITERATURE REVIEW

    There is evidence to support the claim that speed breakers can cause accidents and injury when a vehicle approaches a speed-breaker at a speed greater than some threshold velocity, the risk accident or injury is substantial. Speed- breakers are inconspicuous in low

    visibility conditions, like at night, or when there is fog, rain or snow. This problem is particularly acute in developing countries where speed-breakers don': always accompany warning signs. We propose an early warning system that uses a Smartphone based application to alert the driver in advance when the vehicle is approaching a

    speed breaker. In addition, the application constantly

    monitors the Smartphone accelerometer to detect previously unknown speed- breakers. The proposed detection algorithm easy

    P = 73.36 Kgf

    implement because it does not require accelerometer reorientation this is one of the main contributions of our work since previous approaches have used expensive computations to reorient the accelerometer. The algorithm was evaluated using 678 Km of drive data, which involved 22 different drivers, 5 different types of vehicles (bus, auto rickshaw, cycle rickshaw, motorcycle, and car), and 4 smart phones. The results are very promising and can be further improved by aggregating detection reports from multiple smart phones.

  4. WORKING PRINCIPLE

    The speed breaker works normally during the day time on to the roads this speed breaker setup consists of the pneumatic cylinder which has a piston for the linear motion of the speed breaker. This piston is connectedto the speed breaker and when the piston moves in the downward direction, the speed breaker moves down so that the road is made free for the speeding.

    P = Pressure in the cylinder (N/m2)

    A = Area of the piston

    (m2)

    a = Cross sectional area of the piston rod (m2) Therefore,

    Area of = {( x d2)/4}-{( the piston x d12)/4}

    (A-a)

    = {( 402)/4}-

    { ( 162)/4}

    = 1256.6-201

    = 1055 mm²

    FORCE TO BE CONVERTED

    This project has a sensor and the control unit which operates on the light rays, during the day time the sunrays falls on the LDR sensor unit, the sensor sends the signal to the control unit and the control unit actuates the pneumatic cylinder and then the cylinder piston moves forward direction and makes the speed breaker on the road. During theight time, the LDR sensor does not get any light signal from the sun and it deactivates the control unit which makes the piston of the pneumatic cylinder to retract making the speed breaker to get down and thus making the road speed breaker free on the night time.
