This document summarizes how speed cameras detect vehicle speed using Doppler radar technology. Speed cameras transmit radar signals that bounce off vehicles and return to the camera. The difference in frequency of the transmitted and returned signals, known as the Doppler effect, allows the camera to calculate the vehicle's speed. Speed cameras were introduced in the 1990s and have been shown to reduce road accidents and casualties by deterring speeding. The document discusses how Doppler radar works, the basic components and principles of speed cameras, and their effectiveness even in poor weather conditions. It stresses the importance of public awareness about how speed cameras promote road safety.

- 3. 3 INTRODUCTION 1. Nowadays the number of people killed and injured on our roads remain unacceptably high.The main reason is speed of vehicle. 2. Speed Detection Using Speed cameras on the side of urban and rural roads, usually placed to catch transgressors of the stipulated speed limit for that road.
- 4. Speed cameras were introduced in west London in 1992 and following their success in reducing speed related crashes. Speed cameras are recommended under use to reduce road casualties. The speed camera is also known as" safety cameras". Speed camera uses the basic principle of Doppler Effect and RADAR technologies 4 HISTORY
- 5. 5 WHAT IS DOPPLER EFFEC ?
- 6. The principle of speed camera that is the Doppler's Effect can be described by the formula FM = 2vfEcos(α/c) Where FM if the frequency of the received signal v is the speed of vehicles f E if the frequency of transmitted signal α is the angle between the transmitted signal and path along which the vehicle travels c is propagation speed of the signal in the air. 6

- 10. 10 The basic of every speed camera is a SHF generator, which can transmit the beams in specific directions. The exact frequency is between 2 GHz and 15 GHz. The power of oscillators is not very high (usually less than 10 mw), but the effect a power output is increased through the use of the directional aerials.
- 11. 11 1.The receiver for the reflected signal is situated at the focal point of the aerial which functions as a mixer of transmitted and reflected signal 2.The output signal of the receiver is amplified, conditioned by an analogue circuit and then passed on to the measurement section, which is a frequency counter. 3.The signal from the frequency counter goes to the microprocessor that calculates the speed and sends it to display. It also checks if the measured speed exceeds the preset value and warns the police officer who are near by that of offenders has just passed or it activates the camera or flash gun.
- 12. How Well Does it Works? Operating during the rain or mist: The RADAR works perfectly well during a rain or mist. For example RADAR is used extensively to help the landing of airplanes in bad weather. mist doesn't move with respect to RADAR beams it will be practically invisible to the receiver and the measurements are completely unaffected. Measurement Range: The distance from which the RADAR can measure the speed of a vehicle depends on two factors:power of SHF 12
- 13. 13 Reaction time Current models react with in tenth of a second, so any motorists who ignores speed limit will have little chance of avoid a fine after noticing a speed cameras. Sometimes the RADAR equipment also uses special algorithms with the very short time, making extremely fast readings possible. Continuous transmission: RADAR does not need to functioning continuously. Actual RADAR equipment works on the random basis or is activated only when a vehicle comes near by.
- 14. 14 Discrimination When several vehicles traveling at different speeds encounter at the RADAR beams the resulting Doppler signal contains a mixture of signals at different frequency. The majority of current devices can't separate these components and reject the measurement as faulty.
- 15. Need for public Communications A key objective was to ensure that people are made fully aware of the speed cameras are for road safety purposes and is not for the raise of revenue. Although speeding leads to more crashes, deaths and injuries. We should make people aware of the speeding and benefits of speed cameras. We should make awareness in the local level, national level and also in government level. 15
- 16. Conclusion Cameras are there for our on good and make our roads safer. In general speed camera are perceived to be good idea because they protect innocent road users and pedestrians. Although these cameras reduces accidents the way in which the speed cameras are currently used is not to make the driver slow down, obey the speed limit and make the road safe .i.e. speed camera …….. 16
