 Abstract:

The aim of this study is to simulate and analyze vehicular speed at defined locations. A system that automatically monitors and reports vehicular speed at every coordinate in conformity to identified locations and informs vehicle owners or relevant authorities on dangerous speeding that could lead to accidents. Its input includes signals from the vehicle speedometer and GPS module that interprets the coordinates of locations. Several works had been done in this area which include tracking of vehicle speed by the owners or authority and speed reporting without information on the vehicle's actual location. This study is an enhancement to others as locations GPS were converted to names of towns, villages, or settlements along the Warri-Benin road before transmission to receivers. Data involving GPS coordinates and signal strength of selected three service providers were collated at designated and recognized locations along the road. Relevant models were developed for simulation on MATLAB 2019 environment for various levels of vehicular speed at the locations. The simulated results show a computed average speed of 200km/h, far above the maximum set speed limit of 100km/h by the Federal Road Safety Commission in 2014 for Nigeria roads that could lead to an accident. The detected speed was transmitted to receivers using the strongest available cellular network signal strength among chosen three service providers of AIRTEL, GLO, and MTN.
