摘要：It is recorded that road vehicle accidents in Malaysia are increasing yearly. The major cause to road accident is mostly caused by human speed. Police authorities have enforced the speed limits of the vehicle to control the road accidents. Thus, to monitor the traffic more efficiently, the speed of a moving vehicle is determined by using calculation from particular distance and time as an approach to estimate the vehicle speed. This system is designed to reduce the road accidents in development of speed warning system by using solar power energy. Solar is used to provide the energy to the system in terms of optimizing the operational cost and reducing the energy wastage. It requires a battery to store energy that automatically recharged from solar panel. Three light indicators which are green, yellow and red based on the speed level of vehicles are used in this system. The indicators shows the condition of the speed warning system, whether in slow, fast and very fast conditions. With that, people will be motivated to follow the rules and enhance their responsibilities on the road. At the same time, this system is implemented to increase awareness on people regarding safety. The results are performed for the status of light indicator, the time taken and condition based on the speed detected by the system to show the effectiveness of the system.
