With their innovations, students aim to make world better

Controlling speeding vehicles or riding a hydrogen-powered car can very well be a reality in the near future, thanks to students from various technology institutes, who have come up with innovative ideas in their bid to make the world a better place.
To control speeding vehicles students of Tamil Nadu's Bannari Amman Institute of Technology (BIT) have developed the Zonal Based Control of Vehicles using Micro-Controller.
"This technology will help to reduce over speeding in areas where there are schools, colleges, hospitals etc. This prototype uses frequency modulation to control a speeding car," says R Suhadev Venkatesh and his team of four fellow students.

Venkatesh and his team participated at the Knimbus Young Innovator award held recently at the Indian Institute of Technology here.
The transmitter, proposes Venkatesh, could be installed in schools and continuously transmit signals to a vehicle outfitted with a receiver unit. When the desired frequency is received it activates the microcontroller which in turn reduces speed by controlling the spark in the spark plug.
After the vehicle leaves the slow down zone the micro controller brings back the vehicle to the initial or default position.
"We had over 900 entries from 600 colleges across India, including IIT Delhi, IIT Bombay, IIT Madras and BIT Mesra. These entries cover a wide range of subjects pertaining to subjects ranging from agriculture tech to Nano tech and many other kinds," says Rahul Agarwalla, Founder and CEO, Knimbus.
