3. Introduction The Intelligent Speed Adaptation is done in vehicle using GPS technology by tracking the location of the vehicle This system does not require a preloaded map or route for its operation This system is a low cost and effective system which requires less memory and simple algorithm.

4. Existing speed adaptation techniques RF id based systems –This system uses RF id tags on the sign boards, the receiver module in the vehicle receives the signal at various speed zones through these RF tags. This systems can be employed only for slow vehicles. Practically it cannot be employed in the highway for vehicles with high speed like 100kmph Optical recognition systems –This is done by camera based detection, the camera records continuously, when a sign boar is approached, the sign is recognized by image processing techniques. This system uses complex algorithm Uses much resources Some critical cases when the sign board is covered by tree branches, the system does not detect the sign board.

5. GPS based systems –The GPS receiver module tracks its position and using the pre loaded map and speed zone database, the speed adaptation is done Requires a large memory to store the complete map and speed zone databases. Emergency sign boards like “MEN AT WORK”, “TAKE DIVERSION” etc. are not fed to the receiver dynamically. Dead reckoning –Using sensors, it can plot the path taken by the vehicle. By overlaying this path onto a digital map, the DR system knows approximately where the vehicle is, what the local speed limit etc. This system is much complicated with multiple sensors and possibility of deviation from actual data is high Existing speed adaptation techniques

6. Need for a new system To over come the limitations of the other Speed adaptation systems. To reduce the memory requirement of conventional GPS speed adaptation techniques. To reduce the system cost and enhance the system performance to provide dynamic update of information.

8. Step 1 Transmitter sends a data to the vehicle. The data is a table of information of latitude and longitude and its corresponding road sign, speed limit..

9. Step 2 GPS receiver requests its position data to satellite.

10. Step 3 GPS receiver receives its position data from satellite. lat=12.970649 long=79.159310

11. 0001|76.11004|12.19256 lat=12.970649 long=79.159310 Current Position From GPS A sample data from received data. YES Step 4 The current position is compared with the data of table received. When the current position reaches the position of data, corresponding alert is done. Check for the corresponding sign & speed limit Alert the driver / Limit speed =?=?
