CASE ANALYSIS

Scenario

A highway monitoring station needs to detect vehicle speed between two infrared sensor pairs and display it on an LCD.

Key decisions

  • Use IR sensor pairs 1 and 2 to capture entry and exit time
  • Use AT89S52 to compute speed from the sensor time difference
  • Use I2C LCD for clean readout and 7805 regulator for stable 5V

When to reuse this

Reuse when designing a microcontroller-based highway speed checker or similar time-of-flight sensor projects.
