Abstract

This paper presents a new design to control the speed of the automobiles at remote places for fixed time. Generally, in automobiles throttle position is controlled by the Electronic Control Unit (ECU) mainly according to the one of the inputs received from the accelerator’s Pedal position sensor. But in the proposed model, instead of ECU, another Microcontroller unit receives the pedal position from the sensor and then Microcontroller unit transfers to the ECU. The Microcontroller unit is also interfaced with the wireless module that is capable of detecting any other transceiver. Now, the automobile can be controlled at the desired places when we deploy the transmitters that send data frames with fields containing maximum speed and time for which this speed limitation is to be imposed.
