Project Details

Project Title: Speed Detection System with LCD Display and Buzzer

Overview: This project detects the speed of an object (like a vehicle) using two infrared sensors. The time between sensor interruptions is used to calculate the speed, which is displayed on an LCD screen. If the speed exceeds 50 km/h, a buzzer is triggered to alert the user.

Hardware Required:

• 16X2 and I2C module :Click Here to Purchase
• I2C MODULE :Click Here to Purchase
• Buzzer :Click Here to Purchase

Key Concepts: The system uses infrared sensors to measure the time taken by an object to pass between them, then calculates its speed using the formula: Speed = Distance / Time. The result is displayed on the LCD, and a buzzer is triggered if the object exceeds a threshold speed.
