INTRODUCTION: Block diagram
In the fast moving world the speed has major role in human’s
life. There are two main perspectives one is safety and LCD DISPLAY 16*2
another one is speed. At present, accidents occur due to over
speed in road. To avoid such accidents the speed of the
vehicles should be reduced.

The concept of this research work is to have a Time-based

smart speed breaker using embedded system. Here, we use
an iron made hemi-cylindrical rod. The speed breaker is
constructed by a half semi-shape long metallic pipe. To
adjust the close and open point of the speed breaker, two RELAY
magnetic sensors are connected across them. The control
circuitry is used which is capable of rotating itself from the RF
flat position. It is also used to reduce the speed of the vehicle. RECEIVE

until countdown gets zero. After particular time period, the
speed breaker automatically disappears from the road. So, SPEED BREAKER

be considered as very strong and robust. Zigbee encryption
is based on AES (Advanced Encryption Standard) algorithm
for data encryption and data authentication. This standard
specifies operation in the unlicensed ISM bands including 2.4

Relay
A relay is an electrically operated switch. Current flowing
through the coil of the relay creates a magnetic field which
attracts a lever and changes the switch contacts. The coil
current can be on or off so relays have two switch positions
and they are double throw (changeover) switches.
