Abstract
The prevalence of vehicle accidents remains a critical concern worldwide, posing significant threats to public safety, economic stability, and societal well-being. Traditional measures to address this issue, such as infrastructure improvements and traffic law enforcement, have yielded limited results. This project explores and implements multiple speed control techniques as a comprehensive strategy to mitigate the frequency and severity of vehicle accidents. By leveraging a combination of technological solutions, policy interventions, and community engagement initiatives, the project aims to target various factors contributing to accidents, including speeding, reckless driving, and road infrastructure deficiencies. Technological solutions, such as speed limiters and GPS-based systems, provide real-time monitoring and control of vehicle speeds, enhancing driver compliance with speed limits. Policy interventions, including stricter enforcement of speed limits and the implementation of dynamic speed limits, aim to create a regulatory environment that promotes safer driving behaviours. Community engagement initiatives, such as educational campaigns and community-based monitoring, foster a culture of responsible driving and enhance public awareness of road safety. By adopting a multi-faceted approach, this project seeks to achieve sustainable improvements in road safety. The integrated strategy not only aims to reduce accident rates but also promotes a holistic understanding of road safety that incorporates technological advancements, regulatory measures, and community involvement. The findings from this project will provide valuable insights for policymakers, researchers, and practitioners seeking to enhance vehicle safety and reduce accidents globally.
