Abstract
The Rain Sensing Car Speed Limiter is a system device that is installed and integrated in a vehicle to determine the rain condition and automatically limit the speed of the vehicle according to the rain condition level. It coincides with the automatic brake system that decreases the speed of the vehicle if it exceeds the speed limit. The speed is measured using a Hall Effect sensor that is installed in the vehicle’s wheel while the rain condition is measured using a moisture sensor. The Arduino attached in the control box processes the data and produces a response which is divided into three categories: (a) Extreme Rainfall, (b) Heavy Rainfall, and (c) Light Rainfall. The system is designed to determine the volume of the rainfall and a corresponding response on the vehicle speed will be instigated by the system based on the coded data. The functionality of the system tested is fully working. The system device is developed to minimize road accidents during rainy seasons.
