Remote and mobile vehicular monitoring has become a very important need since over speeding vehicles or reckless driving can be a threat to life and property. In this work, we propose a framework to convert the conventional vehicles into connected vehicles in secured areas such as educational institutions, residential societies, hospitals and etc. where the entry and exit points are secured by gates. We designed a GPS based wireless hardware system to monitor the speed and location of a moving vehicle. As the conventional vehicle enters through the gate, the security guard gives this device to the driver and removes it when the vehicle exits. Once activated inside the region, the system monitors the speed of the vehicle and communicates any rule violations to the security station in the premises and also to the driver. If the speed of the vehicle increases beyond the threshold limit, the vehicle driver is alerted and a warning message is communicated to the system. A record of the driving patterns is separately maintained at the receiver unit so that the penalizing action can be taken against the defaulters. The effectiveness of the proposed system is validated with the results of a field trial with different drivers, with and without our hardware prototype installed in the vehicle for a period of two days on a pre-defined route. The average number of over speeds from day 1 to day 2 was reduced by 63%. Our system is promising to increase safety in secured residential areas.
