AUTOMOBILE VELOCITY MEASUREMENT WITH IR SENSOR AND ESP32 CAMERA

Abstract: This project presents a comprehensive solution for vehicle speed detection using an Infrared (IR) sensor and an ESP32 camera module. The primary objective is to design an efficient and cost-effective system capable of accurately measuring and monitoring the speed of vehicles on the road. The IR sensor is employed to detect the presence of a vehicle by measuring the interruption of the IR beam. Once a vehicle is detected, the ESP32 camera captures images to log the event and provide visual evidence. The system calculates the speed of the vehicle by measuring the time taken to travel between two predefined points with known distance apart. The combination of the IR sensor and ESP32 camera allows for real-time speed monitoring and data logging, which can be utilized for traffic management, law enforcement, and research purposes. The ESP32's robust processing power and wireless communication capabilities enable remote monitoring and integration with IoT platforms for advanced data analytics. This project demonstrates the feasibility of using affordable components to build a reliable vehicle speed detection system, offering potential improvements in traffic safety and management efficiency.
